I know these type of questions have been asked, I've search for them, but havnt found an answer to help me.

I'm trying to upload a picture and i get:

Code: [Select]

Impossible to move silentscreaming.jpg to albums/userpics/10002/ !



Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpfZXykq) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/content/k/h/i/khirsah) in /home/content/k/h/i/khirsah/html/coppermine1.2/db_input.php on line 258

No I'm not hosting my own server. My provider claims UNIX / Apache with PHP installed. (Godaddy.com) I'm running Coppermine 1.2.0 RC2 with PhpBB2. Albums, userpics, and include are chmod 777.

PhpInfo:

I noticed there is a value for open_basedir in local but not in master, and i assume (correct or not : p ) that this could be my problem area? What, if anything should be in either of these?

Thanks for any time and help,

To my knowledge, the temporary directory must be within the openbasedir for PHP to have access to uploaded files.  Ask your host to specify an appropriate temporary directory for you in PHP's configuration options.

@khirsah:
although I have no suggestions that will solve this problem I wanted to congratulate you on your posting: it has all the information (well, nearly: a link is always nice) that is needed to give support. I thought I'd mention this as a good example on how to post; I'll link others to this thread if necessary.

Well GoDaddy.com said they use global settings for their PHP server and this is the first time they've heard of this problem so it must be a code issue, and they wont troubleshoot code.

Sounds like BS to you too?

It would be nice to know what was wrong on my provers side.. but seeing as how i'm extreamly inpatiant i went ahead and setup my own server..  

I'm thinking they just didnt care seeing as how it works fine with minimal effort and research, and thats with not knowing a damn thing about php, mysql, or apache for windows. Download and installed in under 3 hours. Thats what I get for using a cheap provider.

Thanks for your time,

Since my provider will not change anything... 

is there a way to set the upload directory to something else then /tmp ?

[Joachim Müller]

"tmp" is not the upload dir, but (as the name suggests) a temporary dir where all http uploads go to first, before being moved to the actual place within your webspace. This temporary folder can not be set in coppermine, but is a php setting. Usually you can't mess with this setting when webhosted, so the answer to your question is "no" I'm afraid.

Okay, cancel my question - I have just found out where my brain error was
