I am stumped.  I am running a dedicated virtual server on media temple and I wanted to set up my expression engine install and have multiple domains set up…

Soo I have the default at
housingworkscms.com

and i was testing a second site at
thriftapps.com

on the second domain i just get The system path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open your path.php file and correct the path.  (but somehow the favicon shows up)

I checked the path and its defiantly correct.  I am stumped..

Any thoughts?

path file from thriftapps.com

<?php

//———————————————————————————
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

//———————————————————————————
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = “/var/www/vhosts/housingworkscms.com/httpdocs/admin/”;
$site_name = “thrifts”;
//———————————————————————————
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
//———————————————————————————

$template_group = “”;
$template = “”;
$site_url = “”;
$site_index = “”;
$site_404 = “”;
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

Have you tried with a relative path by any chance?  That may help.  You might also compare your path to what PHP Info reports as the appropriate path.

Tried both..

from php info

_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”]  /var/www/vhosts/housingworkscms.com/httpdocs

Also tried

../../housingworkscms.com/httpdocs/admin/

same error

This may be a openbase_dir issue. It’s been almost a year, but I think I had this issue on a mt dv account that a client had. Maybe this KB article will help you:

There is probably an open_basedir restriction in effect.  This setting prevents a script from being able to include a script from anywhere other than within the user/domain accounts’ folders.  In your index.php file, if you remove the @ symbol from the line:

if ( ! @include($system_path.'core/core.system'.$ext))

And set error_reporting(0) to error_reporting(E_ALL), this will reveal the specific details (as long as display_errors is enabled on your server).

Edit: Crossposted!  Thanks for the link to (mt)‘s specific handling here, Ryan.

Hello,

I am actually in the same case of the housingworks .

I am trying to follow the article given by ryan but am unable to do that correctly !

I have the foloowing error :
————————————-

Can someone give me the right direction or explain me how to resolve this ?

Many thanks

You need to contact your host to see how (if possible) to enable file includes from one domain to the other (it’s a server environment setting).  The open_basedir restriction that is in place simply won’t allow it.
