Hello,

open_basedir has trouble with symlinks:

File: /var/www/server/xyz.com/ezdemo/htdocs/classes/ezfile.php

Symlink: /kunden/hosting/server -> /var/www/server

Unless I set open_basedir to '/' I get some errors like these:


open_basedir set to '/var' or '/kunden/hosting/server/xyz.com/ezdemo':

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /var/www/server/xyz.com/ezdemo/htdocs/classes/ezfile.php on line 282

Warning: fopen("/kunden/hosting/server/xyz.com/ezdemo/htdocs/classes/cache/02208adcfca7b0a5f64d1e07f5f5c385.php", "w+") - Operation not permitted in /var/www/server/xyz.com/ezdemo/htdocs/classes/ezfile.php on line 282


open_basedir set to '/kunden'

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Failed opening '/kunden/hosting/server/xyz.com/ezdemo/htdocs/index_admin.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0
