what is the best way to modify open_basedir restriction to allow authorized items

[durangod]

On of the addons for my whmcs is giving a warning about open_basedir and the file is not in the proper path.

The file for the addon is in public_html/whmcs/modules/addons/filename.php
I am calling it from public_html
and i am also calling it from public_html/whmcs/filename.php


Do i have to turn off open_basedir or can i adjust it via htaccess ? Or can you point me to some docs on the subject thanks.

here is the warning:

Warning: is_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/xxxxxx/public_html/whmcs/modules/addons/index.php/index.php.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xxxxxxx:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/whmcs/admin/configaddonmods.php on line 0

Hello

Disabling open_basedir restriction through .htaccess is not possible. open_basedir can only be set by inside the php.ini or httpd.conf. You may need to change the httpd directive or change the php handler to SuPHP from DSO to disable it.

Hello,

Also you can you create custom php.ini to enable "open_basedir" for particular user and disable on server using suPHP. You just need to create custom php.ini in you user home directory and put below code in .htaccess file :

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html/
