Any ideas about the upload problem?

If the error is occurring at line 37 does that mean you're not running 5.31? Maybe that has something to do with it. Although since Chuck hasn't mentioned it, probably not

We just moved to a new host and are getting a similar error

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/httpd/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs/gallery/uploads/425/E8O8644.JPG) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs/gallery/image-inc.php on line 37

Where is photopost pulling the "/var/www/vhosts" from in the configuration? It should be "/home/httpd/vhosts" on the new server and I've been all through the pp_settings table, config-inc.php, and config-int.php and can't find any setting that still has /var/www/vhosts in it anywhere.

Photopost version 5.3
RedHat ES4

You need to change your uploads and data paths in admin => Global Options

[eWebtricity]

I just confirmed those paths are correct in ADMIN>GLOBAL OPTIONS

[Chuck S]

Check all your paths and set to the /var one they can not be set correctly and this error shows that

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/httpd/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs/gallery/uploads/425/E8O8644.JPG) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/anglersonly.com/httpdocs/gallery/image-inc.php on line 37

[eWebtricity]

# cat config-inc.php | grep www
# cat config-int.php | grep www

I can't find that path to change it. I've even been through the pp_settings table in MySQL looking for that value to be set in the DB. I found all instances in the table and updated them accordingly, but I still have this rogue value somewhere.

[Chuck S]

In Admin => Global Options the data and uploads server paths are set. Also in your config-inc.php file is the $PP_PATH variable

[eWebtricity]

I totally agree it should be in the config or ADMIN>GLOBAL but they are all correct. I've checked and rechecked them. Does the error message indicate to you where it's pulling that /var/www path? Where does image-inc.php get that tmp path from?

[Chuck S]

From the error you are showing me in global options you are using

/home/httpd

instead of

/var/www

in your global config for at least the minimum the uploads directory path

[eWebtricity]

I think our issue may have something to do with PHP and Apache and following symlinks because /home/httpd is actually a symlink to /var/www and thats why /var/www is showing up in the error message ....still investigating

[eWebtricity]

Updated all config-xxx.php files and settings in admincp to point to /var/www instead of /home/httpd and we are now able to upload images successfully. So Photopost doesn't like symlinks when it comes to uploading/manipulating images.

[Chuck S]

Has nothing to do with Photopost at all here. Your PHP has open_basedir set to the /var/www thus you can not use symbolic links

how about this error?

Unable to move file /var/tmp/phpRj2mcg /hsphere/local/home/screamin/dev.azsportbikes.org/photopost/uploads/1/03-31-06_0138.jpg

funny thing is every time i make a change the first line of text changes atthe end but the results are the same. ive checked permissions, settings, DB config, folder permissions. im completely lost on where to go from here.

[Chuck S]

Your permissions on your uploads and data directories must be set to 777 permissions at every level
