[Fwd: [eGroupWare-users] vhost and absolute path to the users dir for filemanager]

[Pongracz_Istvan]

Hi,

I installed the latest stable release of egroupware (1.0.0x) to a Redhat
server.
This webhosting company made virtual servers, normally working, no problem.

When I setup the absolute path (/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.hu/tmp) for
configuring the document root, the filemanager told me the Base directory not
exist.

We checked the path, I gave read/write permissions to world, but it
never can use this directory.

If I wrote the /tmp, which is out of my virtual environment, it can use
that directory as base directory and the app working well.
The guy checked the permissions and said, the apache is able to
read/write that directory (/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.hu/tmp), but the
application said:“Base directory does not exist, Ask adminstrator to
check the global configuration”.

So, how can I check, what the hack happened?
I don’t like to use the database to store files.

Maybe I have to setup something in php.ini too?

Any help/tipps are really welcome

Regards,
István

Hi Istvan,

got similar problems with a hosting service using Plesk (version 7.5.4 in
my case. Solution differs in different versions).

if u or the hosting server are using it, check the next links:

http://www.egroupware.org/knowledge_base&menuaction=phpbrain.uikb.view_article&art_id=11
from
the knowledge base of egroupware.

http://forum.sw-soft.com/ here u have the best information about how to
configure vhost.conf. Just write in the search engine of the forum “
vhost.conf”

in my case the content of vhost.conf:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/dominio.com/httpdocs>
php_admin_flag engine on
php_admin_value open_basedir
"/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs:/var/www/vhosts/dominio.com/tmp:/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/egw_files"

php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir “/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/tmp”

but in ur case the location is different, so be careful.

just a tip… don’t use notepad or any windows environment editor to create
the file. Apache doesn’t like it… the best is to use a Linux machine and
with almost any editor works ok.

hope that this can help u. Good luck!
