open_basedir restriction

open_basedir restriction

Hello,

I'm having an issue with the open_basedir restriction. I would like to only allow php scripts to access files in "/var/www". Unfortunately some modules create temporary files in "/tmp" instead of the moodledata directory and won't work if I set the basedir restriction.

Is this is something that could be fixed in future versions of Moodle or if this is something I should just deal with? If it's something that can be changed I'm more than happy to help find places that access "/tmp" and help update them to point to the proper place in the moodledata directory.

Thanks!

I solved this one myself. You can setup two base directories:

Just do:  "open_basedir = /directory1:/tmp" in your php.ini file
