We have two servers

1 one dedicated on whicn php is 4.3.2 and the same script is running fine

2. we have VPS with plesk 6.0 and here php is 4.2.2 and we are facing above error

Above kind of error we are facing in most of php scripts wheb we contacted our vps provider they say this is script problem we said that when it is running on other dedicated sever why problem in your server(VPS). we told that we are getting same kind of error in lot of php scripts. we understadn some thing is to be done at server level not at domain level as on other dedicated server we are running all scripts fine

Can you guide what should be done at server level so that we should not face this error in most of domains

our registered globle is ON

can you not update the PHP version? Im no expert with servers but I have now managed to setup apache and updating PHP is almost just copying and pasting from what I can tell.

Also just like to point out to you that your signature is 5 lines long when the rules (http://www.codingforum.net/rules.htm) state it can be no more than 4 lines

I assume on your VPS you should have access to the php.ini ? if so just disable open_basedir directive , else you will have to ask your provider to do so for you.

We contacted our server provider he says tell me the suggestion I will do it for you but he will charge 25USD for any modification so
please let me know what should we ask him to do either ask him to have new version on virtual private server or ask him modification in php.ini

[firepages]

OK before you spend any $$
If its a VPS you should have access to your own php.ini [and should be able to modify it]

usually @ /usr/local/lib/php.ini but this can vary ,
do a find/locate and then

cat /usr/local/lib/php.ini

look for the open_basedir directive and see what it is set to , if it has no value then this is not the problem else post that value here ...or if you are feeling brave , backup the php.ini , comment out the directive , save and restart apache.

Dear firepages

Thanks for your support

we checked the php and found

open_basedir no value

well you can check the php here

Hi , the local value which is the value that your installation is using is ..

`/home/httpd/vhosts/megrihost.com/httpdocs:/tmp`

you need to add to this the absolute path to the files you are trying to include , e.g.

`/home/httpd/vhosts/megrihost.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/path/to/wherever/`

the colons : seperate the paths the same as with an include path
