Safe_mode - did something change in recent WHM Release builds ?

[eva2000]

New issue I came across today. I have a vBullein forum and in past I've uploaded custom avatars with no problems. Today, one of my members say they can't upload their custom avatar and I run a diagnostic check and out of the blue open_basedir is chucking a fit and it seems my php.ini upload_tmp_dir has changed to /home/safetmp ?

I've never edited upload_tmp_dir before ???

file_uploads: On
open_basedir: /home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp
safe_mode: Off
upload_tmp_dir: /home/safetmp
upload_max_filesize: 16.00 MB

/usr/local/apache/conf/sites/mydomain.com.conf

    <IfModule concurrent_php.c>
        php4_admin_value open_basedir "/home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp"
        php5_admin_value open_basedir "/home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !concurrent_php.c>
        <IfModule mod_php4.c>
            php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp"
        </IfModule>
        <IfModule mod_php5.c>
            php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
        </IfModule>
        <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
            php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/myusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp"
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>

in httpd.conf same entry for my virtual host at bottom says

# To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
# Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/myusername/mydomain.com/*.conf"

but /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/myusername/mydomain.com/ doesn't exist on my server ??

Only recall, recently re-running /scrips/upcp which said I already running latest RELEASE build at the time

cPanel 11.24.4-R34599 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9

Anything changed in recent builds that would of caused changes ??

edit: okay i just remembered in WHM for PHP open_basedir Protection options i had that site excluded originally, but re-checked and it's included now - but i didn't uncheck the domain to be included ??? /scripts/upcp reset that option ?

thanks
