Vesta Control Panel - Forum

[/code]Hi All, i'm a novice Ubuntu user and I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my vps and then installed vestacp to manage my websites, one of my apps (elgg) needs a data directory outside of the public_html folder to store the sites media files. I've been trying to find out how i can disable and set openbase_dir to none. Although I set the openbase_dir = none in php.ini this hasn't worked.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

HI

You can disable it directly from httpd templates or modify your templates to add new path in open_basedir and then you need rebuild vhosts

Edit for exmple Or any orther templates you use

The run v-rebuild-web-domains

Code: Select all

/usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/httpd/phpfcgid.stpl
/usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/httpd/phpfcgid.tpl

Or any orther templates you use

The run v-rebuild-web-domains

Thank you for your response!

When I nano into the files you mentioned above they are empty, is this correct or should I be using a different method to edit them?
When I try to cd into the directories through ssh it just says No such file or directory exists?

Thanks again for your help!

Try access to dirs, dirs may change if you use ubuntu ( httpd / apache), I not know what system you use so, names may vary, try access to /usr/local/vesta and then find files into dirs

Sorry not see in first post than you use ubuntu

Thanks a lot for your help @skamasle.

I finally managed to get some time yesterday to look into this and manage to sort it out with your help.
I will just put the steps I took below in case someone else gets stuck with this.

vestacp set up open_basedir Ubuntu 18.04 server.

File locations
To setup invidual website open_basedir find the individual website configuration file in:
/home/username_here/conf/web/sub.domain.com.apache2.conf

To setup the template file so that each new site created vestacp will be configured open_basedir:
/usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/apache2/default.tpl

Changes required.
To set a base to a directory of you choice find the line below and make sure your change the_username/sub.domain.com and change the basedir directory location of your choice to this end of the line where I've put /directory_name_here***
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/the_username/web/sub.domain.com/public_html:/home/the_username/directory_name_here***

Hope others will find this useful.
Thanks
