Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

I have recently moved shop to another server.

now I get this: (when I press "backup" in admin pages)

-Everything else works fine, as far I know.

 

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/helihob:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/helihob/public_html/admin/backup.php on line 443

The code in backup.php only looks if the file/executable of gzip and zip exist to determine if you can zip or gzip backups. Unfortunately, the open_basedir stuff was invented after that and while the file exists it won't allow you to use it.

 

The remedy is to make sure backup.php thinks the file is not there. This is a bit hidden IMO, in admin/includes/application_top.php around line 40:

// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', '/usr/bin/gunzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', '/usr/local/bin/zip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', '/usr/local/bin/unzip');

If you change it (I think this should work) you won't have the problem anymore:

// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', 'gzip'); // originally: '/usr/bin/gzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', 'gunzip'); // originally '/usr/bin/gunzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', 'zip'); // originally: '/usr/local/bin/zip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', 'unzip'); // originally: '/usr/local/bin/unzip');

maybe you should ask in the joomla forums

[snelsnel 0]

Hi,

 

Very fast indeed. I googled a part of the error message and found this page with a simmular question and a working reply!

Therefore: exuse me for posting on the wrong forum, but still it seems like a topic with contributions from members with true knowledge and possibly an answer to my problem.

snelsnel we really shouldn't support that issue here since it has nothing to do with oscommerce but one sugguestion which would get the error "messages" to stop, is to put an @ sign in front of is_file and is_dir on lines 363 and 127. This only supresses the errors. If there are any other issues you really need to go to the correct forum.

 

is_dir would be @is_dir

 

I only provided help because I know the frustration of trying to find the answer

 

oscommerce members, this soultion will work for you as well but i would recommend the method Jan Zonjee used

If you are getting open basedir errors, it is usually because you are trying to access a global tmp directory or something (which you are obviously not allowed to do on most shared hosting setups).

 

Usually (almost certainly in osC), if you change your configuration from the standard /tmp to simply tmp, it will work.

In addition, you would need to create the tmp folder in the root (most likly) and change the permissions to 777 on the folder.

[Mibble 0]

sometimes you do not have access to the root thus you can create a tmp at /home/name/tmp and change the permissions to 777

[snelsnel 0]

Even when this forum was not the rigt one for my question, you guys were sure very helpfull.

In this case the problem was due to a serverupgrade.

The solution: at the global configuration of Joomla! change /usr/local/psa/home to /var/www both on server and system tab.

 

Thanks a lot, good luck with your forum.

snelsnel.

[heinerle 0]

you are right, that fixed it.

Thank you very much.

 

NO, this is not fixed

this solutions eliminates the error message, but the problem was not fixed

 

this is a path to gzip:

define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');

this is not a path to gzip:

define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', 'gzip');

 

test (with 'zip'):

	  if (file_exists(LOCAL_EXE_ZIP)) {
	echo "<br><b>ZIP (zip vorhanden)</b><br>";
  } else {
	echo "<br><b>NO ZIP (keine Kompression)</b><br>";
  }

 

RESULT: "NO ZIP (keine Kompression)"

 

ZIP works in my account. my templates and modules for websitebaker are zip files and this works fine.

 

I speak with the technicians and looking for a solution.

The code in backup.php only looks if the file/executable of gzip and zip exist to determine if you can zip or gzip backups. Unfortunately, the open_basedir stuff was invented after that and while the file exists it won't allow you to use it.

 

The remedy is to make sure backup.php thinks the file is not there. This is a bit hidden IMO, in admin/includes/application_top.php around line 40:

// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', '/usr/bin/gunzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', '/usr/local/bin/zip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', '/usr/local/bin/unzip');

If you change it (I think this should work) you won't have the problem anymore:

// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', 'gzip'); // originally: '/usr/bin/gzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', 'gunzip'); // originally '/usr/bin/gunzip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', 'zip'); // originally: '/usr/local/bin/zip');
 define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', 'unzip'); // originally: '/usr/local/bin/unzip');

 

Thank you very much, i had the same problem, i fixed with your advice.

 

Regards.

Hello to all,Well I need a huge help from you guys..I really get problem in installing the osecommerce v2.3..please help

 

Well fisrtly I upload all the files in the oescommerce v2.3 using 2 software:

1) Dreamveaver cs5

2) Zymic hosting site

 

Next After uploading all the files,I set all the permissions required..

However When I open the webpage,I get these errors:
