Fixing VestaCP open_basedir error

So, this. This has been a pain in the ass for EVER. Every time I install VestaCP, I have to fix this before doing anything else with my code.

This issue wasn’t there when I started using VestaCP. Then came an update. Yeah, you get my point. ????

I know it’s good for security. But still it’s a pain. So here’s how to get stuff working.

Please replace the following things with yours in my commands.

• User: admin
• Domain: example.com
• Text-Editor: nano
• Folder I want include files from: /home/%user%/web/%domain%/project

1. Change directory to your VestaCP user’s web config folder

   1	cd /home/admin/conf/web

2. List files

   1

   ls -la

   You should see some files like

   1 2	example.com.httpd.conf example.com.nginx.conf

3. Open up ‘example.com.httpd.conf‘ in a text editor
   Content will be similar to the follwing

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

   <VirtualHost ***.***.***.***:****>     ServerName example.com     ServerAlias www.example.com     ServerAdmin info@example.com     DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/example.com/public_html     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/admin/web/example.com/cgi-bin/     Alias /vstats/ /home/admin/web/example.com/stats/     Alias /error/ /home/admin/web/example.com/document_errors/     #SuexecUserGroup admin admin     CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/example.com.bytes bytes     CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/example.com.log combined     ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/example.com.error.log     <Directory /home/admin/web/example.com/public_html>         AllowOverride All         Options +Includes -Indexes +ExecCGI         php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/example.com/public_html:/home/admin/tmp         php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /home/admin/tmp         php_admin_value session.save_path /home/admin/tmp     </Directory>     <Directory /home/admin/web/example.com/stats>         AllowOverride All     </Directory>     <IfModule mod_ruid2.c>         RMode config         RUidGid admin admin         RGroups apache     </IfModule>     <IfModule itk.c>         AssignUserID admin admin     </IfModule>     IncludeOptional /home/admin/conf/web/httpd.example.com.conf* </VirtualHost>

4. Append the folder you want to ‘php_admin_value open_basedir‘ like the following example

   1	php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/example.com/public_html:/home/admin/tmp:/home/admin/web/example.com/project

5. Save and quit the file
6. Restart Apache Server
   You could use the VestaCP interface to restart the Apache Server OR use the following command

   1	service httpd restart

Cheers!
