Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong director 1

[Elliott3]

I cannot seem to figure out what the problem is here other than I am restricted. This is the error:
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong director...

What i do know is that safe_mode is OFF, but open_basedir IS set. The line that causes the error is:

include_once($this->PluginDir . "class.smtp.php"

This line runs fine on my local machine which also has safe_mode OFF but it does NOT have the open_basedir set. It is only when I run it on the server that I have the problem.

I have a temporary, but dirty fix. I just copied the class.smtp.php file into the top of its calling script(where the include_once() is located) and then comment out the include_once() line. Of course, this runs fine.

Any ideas as to how to fix the problem?

I recommend that you edit the class.phpmail.php file.

$PluginDir is set to "" by default -- which forces PHP to use include paths to find the necessary files. This won't work with open_basedir set -- which is why you're getting the error.

Set $PluginDir to the absolute file path to you includes directory.

Ya, I noticed that $PluginDir was set to "". What would the absolute path be if open_basedir = /home/httpd/vhosts/jasonoffer.com/httpdocs and the class files are under /Craig/research/Include/classFiles.php?

I don't know. Try each of them.

You may have to restructure your directory tree to get it to work.

It works! Thank you times 10!

You need to use the whole open_basedir path and append your directory to the end of that path.

Thanks again for all your help!
