open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):

Question

I\'m getting this error on an avatar upload on my site. I\'ve never gotten it before and nothing was changed recently for me to begin getting this error...

Answer 1

To resolve this error, you must edit the file httpd.conf. Way before it can be seen in phpinfo in apache2handler section directive Server Root. For example, in my case this way - / etc / httpd / httpd.conf. Open the file httpd.conf, find the mention of the parameter open_basedir. And set it to none. (php_admin_value open_basedir none)
