I have a simple cms which is written in Codeigniter framework. It has worked just fine in many projects and it still works ok on my local machine. But when i put my recent web site online (server php version 5.5.17) and i try to upload an image, i get this error:
Message: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/var/www/vhosts/web-test-host.tk:/tmp:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/var/lib/php/session) Filename: libraries/Image_lib.php
I have tried everything, permissions are all set up, i have even set the open_basedir value to none and it still doesn't want to upload an image, neither doesn't get a name of the image.
Server php version is 5.5.17.
Seems you are trying to write a file to /. Since this is outside the allowed paths for your website / vhost you cant write to it. Check your script, path configurations, you must be missing something in the destination.
