Hello,
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm using PHP 4.3.11 on
Red Hat 5.0 (Cobalt). /home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org is a symbolic
link that points to /home/sites/site66. I've tried this with and without
trailing slashes. I added a comment to a similar bug report years ago,
which I believe has gone largely ignored, and now my comment seems to
have disappeared.
Anyway, here's the error:
Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org/web/index.html) is not within
the allowed path(s):
(/home/sites/site66:/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org:/home/think/lampshade:/home/think/whiteboard:/home/think/mail:/home/think/phpmyadmin)
in /home/think/whiteboard/shared/shared.inc.php on line 565
Thanks,

What is the output of:
<?php
echo realpath('/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org/web/index.html');
?
Sara,
The output is:
/home/sites/site66/web/index.html

Sara,
The output is:
/home/sites/site66/web/index.html
I guess this is the answer:
"All symbolic links are resolved, so it's not possible to avoid this restriction with a symlink."

Antony,
I'm not trying to avoid the restriction by using a symbolic link. I'm
trying to enforce it, yet regardless of whether I put any of the
following in my allowed path:
/home/sites/site66
/home/sites/site66/
/home/sites/site66/web
/home/sites/site66/web/
/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org
/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org/
/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org/web
/home/sites/www.harvardchemclub.org/web/
...or any combination thereof, I am disallowed access to my files with
the aforementioned error.
I think this is a bug.

With the information you have given I think this should work. This is a
VERY old platform to run on. Any chance you can try this on more recent OS
release?

Sander,
Unfortunately, I can't switch the OS, and frankly, I shouldn't have to.
This is a Cobalt RaQ 4i. Love them or hate them, there are thousands of
these machines out there--and they're all running PHP. If this is an OS
problem, and it doesn't work for me, then it's unlikely to work for
anyone (which is a lot of people).
I may be mistaken about the precise version number from my previous
post. Here's the output of uname -a:
[root web]# uname -a
Linux kermit.thinkcomputer.com 2.2.16C37_III #1 Sat Apr 12 14:54:32 PDT
2003 i586 unknown
...and the first line of /var/log/dmesg:
Linux version 2.2.16C37_III (root@kbuild.sfbay.sun.com) (gcc version
egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Sat Apr 12 14:54:32
