Hi cPanel,

For some reason, Magento2 breaks when the include_path is left to the default, which is:
.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/share/pear

However, it works when I change it to a simple period:
.

Or if I change it to:
.:/php/includes

Can anyone tell me why that could possibly be behaving that way? It makes no sense to me! :/

Hi all,

Resolved - my own fault! Turns out my custom open_basedir directive in the MultiPHP INI Editor was breaking this.

I had:
[PATH=/home/myacc4]
open_basedir = "/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"

Since /opt/ is not in the list, the default include_path consequently was breaking Magento2 functionality. The resolution was to either change the include_path to just a single period (so the /opt/ directory wouldn't be used as an include_path) or to add the /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/share/pear directory to the open_basedir directive so the default include_path wouldn't cause trouble.

Note, it worked using /php/includes in the include_path because that folder doesn't exist. If it did, it would've failed also, just like the /opt/ directory.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time!
