Hi,

I'm confused. I admit it.

I have installed Pear and while my question involves getting it to work, this is really a PHP question as I understand it.

"How do I have to change my configuration to allow PHP to include /usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR/Mail.php when being called via a browser?"

- phpinfo() currently reports the include_path (LOCAL) as .:/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR:
- phpinfo() currently reports the include_path (MASTER) as .:/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR:
- phpinfo() currently reports open_basedir (LOCAL) as /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR:
- phpinfo() currently reports open_basedir (MASTER) as /usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR

Some very simple PHP code:

<?php require_once 'Mail.php'; ?>

won't complete because /usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR/Mail.php isn't readable.

The error_log reports:

[Mon Jul 21 22:39:08 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Warning: require_once(Mail.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ms.htm on line 7
[Mon Jul 21 22:39:08 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'Mail.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR:') in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ms.htm on line 7

Some PHP code to determine 'readability' using is_readable()...

- Shows proper settings/readability from the command line:

# php readable.php
/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR/Mail.php is readable ** <br>/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR is readable ** <br>/usr/lib/php/pear is PHP Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/lib/php/pear) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR) in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/readable.php on line 13
not readable ** <br>/usr/lib/php is PHP Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/lib/php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR) in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/readable.php on line 13

not readable ** <br>

- but fails within a browser:

/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR/Mail.php is not readable **
/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR is not readable **
/usr/lib/php/pear is not readable **
/usr/lib/php is not readable **
/usr/lib is not readable **
/usr is not readable **


- generating:

[Mon Jul 21 00:44:32 2008] [error] [client w.x.y.z] PHP Warning: is_readable() [<a href='function.is-readable'>function.is-readable</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Yes, that says "File(/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR) is not within the allowed path(s): (...:/usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR). Did I mention that I was confused?

For kicks I tried adding a trailing slash (i.e. /usr/lib/php/pear/PEAR/) in "all the right places", but no dice.

I'm open to ideas. Any thoughts?

Thanks hugely, in advance.

Umm, am I posting in the wrong place? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?

Maybe some actual code (though essentially irrelevant) would be helpful:



If I'm missing anything that would help pinpoint the problem, please let me know.

Thanks,

David
