php require file

Question

I have trouble for requiring a file:

$path_requires = "/var/www/vhosts/website.com/v3" ;

require("$path_requires/vars.inc.php") ;

The error is:

/var/www/vhosts/website.com/portraits Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/vhosts/website.com/v3/vars.inc.php'

If i do from a terminal:

cat /var/www/vhosts/website.com/v3/vars.inc.php

I checked the permissions on the directory. website.com. it's:

drwxr-xr-x 17 apache psaserv 4096 Oct 18 03:32 v3

I changed the permissions to that directory with no success.

Does anyone know what is going on. Why I can't require this php file ?

Can you show the permissions on the v3 folder and on the .inc.php file ? — Jonathan Muller

It's normal that your path require is /var/www/vhosts/website.com/v3 and in your console you ask /var/www/vhosts/bookonlive.com/v3 ? — ke20

The error message looks in /var/www/vhosts/website.com/, and you cat from /var/www/vhosts/bookonlive.com/ which is not the same folder. — Bgi

v3 folder: drwxr-xr-x 17 apache psaserv 4096 Oct 18 03:32 v3 for the permissions on the file. i don't know. i can't access to the server anymore. connection timeout! — defacto

Chances are it's looking for the /var/www/vhosts folder inside your actual hosting and quite obviously not finding it. Try:

$path_requires = "/v3" ;

require("$path_requires/vars.inc.php") ;

I have the same error. But there are 2 sub-domains: sub1.mysite.com sub2.mysite.com I have to be able to require a file from one sub1 when the script executed on sub2. That's why I try to require the file from the root system /__/__/etc...

Try adding one level up then, the website.com I am pretty sure what's happening is since it's in a browser it's getting confused by the directory structure. Your site externally (in a browser) is not seeing the internal structure of your web host.

Check using this

$path_requires = "https://www.website.com/v3" ; (base url)

require("$path_requires/vars.inc.php") ;

phpinfo() result:

open_basedir    /var/www/vhosts/website.com/portraits/:/tmp/    no value

The /etc/php.ini:

;open_basedir =

How to change the local value ? If I change /etc/php.ini the local value have the upper hand.

/website.com/portraits/ portraits is the directory of the sub-domain portraits.website.com
