Hi,

I’m getting the following PHP error at the top of my Admin Panel after moving my site from it’s stage location to it’s live location on the server:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/subdomains/stage/httpdocs/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs:/tmp)
Filename: libraries/File_integrity.php
Line Number: 95

It looks like after moving, EE is still trying to lookup something at the old stage path. I’ve checked and double checked every setting in EE to make sure the paths are correct and can’t seem to find where the path hasn’t been changed.

Any idea what I’m missing?

Thanks,
B

Hi Bryan,

I hate to see you having trouble after the move!

There are a few things to double check. First, Moving ExpressionEngine to Another Server covers most everything to follow up a move.

Another is the error itself, open_basedir is a server setting and you should contact your host about the possible cause.

After you speak with them, let me know if you are still getting the error.

Cheers,

Hey Dan,

I ended up doing a find/replace of /subdomains/stage/httpdocs/ with /httpdocs/ in the DB and found 5 instances that needed to to be changed.

Seems to have fixed the issue.

Also, don’t know if you know about it but Deeploy Helper can help you easily and quickly change all those paths at once (its what I use)

Thanks for the Heads up J.Hull. I’ll keep that in mind for the future.

Hey Bryan,

Glad to see you are all sorted!

If you need anything later, just let us know.

Thanks,
