[Resolved] BuddyPress and the PHP open_basedir restriction
-
Hi guys,
A lot of servers now have the open_basedir restriction in place to avoid strangers from in some way getting into other accounts on the same server.
Sadly enough, it blocks BuddyPress from uploading an avatar to a profile:
`Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/salvi/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in /home/salvi/domains/site.be/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2104
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/salvi/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in /home/salvi/domains/site.be/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2095

Any clues on getting this solved?

I checked the media gallery, and when uploading something there, it didn’t give the php warnings, only a permissions warning.
I had chmod’ed the uploads folder previously but it seems I misread the WordPress page about the exact chmods (https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) and implemented the first table 755 (should have been at least 775).
Gosh, such a basic error. Sorry for waisting your time
PS: Keep up the good work, BuddyPress is an amazing piece of software (and even the default look is so sleek!). Thumbs up.
