I try to install moodle but moodledata folder need special permission.

path for moodledata folder: ~/web/koquistudio.com/moodledata

Display Warning in the top of the page:

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/admin/web/koquistudio.com/moodledata) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/admin/web/koquistudio.com/public_html:/home/admin/tmp) in /home/admin/web/koquistudio.com/public_html/moodle/install.php on line 333

You can change path for moodledata?

Something like:
~/web/koquistudio.com/public_html/moodledata

Look this:

If so, add additional location in php_value open_basedir

Yes, in /home/admin/conf/web/apache2.conf you can change path to one folder level up.

In that file you can find this:

Code: Select all

php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com/public_html:/home/admin/tmp

Simply remove public_html/
So it will be:

Code: Select all

php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com:/home/admin/tmp

And then restart Apache.

@skurudo
It will be good idea that in future versions Vesta allows to edit open_basedir path when you add/edit WEB domain (I mean on the same form when you can turn on/off SSL).

@dpeca,
I think a little secure add catalog and don't share all folders in domain folder:

Code: Select all

php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com/public_html:/home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com/moodledata:/home/admin/tmp

It's good idea, added -> https://bugs.vestacp.com/issues/371

Yes, just correct line, behind : should be only path, not php_admin_value
This way:

Code: Select all

php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com/public_html:/home/admin/web/YOUR-HOSTNAME.com/moodledata:/home/admin/tmp

Cheers and thank you for posting idea on https://bugs.vestacp.com/issues/371 :)
