Here is the information about Open Basedir Issue

open basedir issue

What is meant by open_basedir?

The open_basedir is a function that defines the locations or paths from which PHP is authorized to access files using functions like gzopen() and fopen(). If a file or document defined by open_basedir which is outside of the paths is outside of the paths, then PHP will deny to open it in shared web hosting.

PHP Error

Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is not within the allowed path(s)

The open_basedir function defines the paths from which PHP is allowed to access files using functions. If a file is outside of the paths defined by open_basdir, PHP will refuse to open it in shared web hosting.

You can set open_basedir to none to remove this restriction.

open_basedir limits all I/O operations in userspace PHP to a certain configurable subset of the filesystem, in particular to a number of directories and their subdirectories

How to fix this issue?

Step - 1 : You have an exclusive alternative to disable open_basedir in the php.ini by utilizing the following:

open_basedir = none

Check and alter the open_basedir settings in your hosting account and set them to none. Search and get the open_basedir setting below the 'PHP Settings' area of your Plesk/cPanel. And lock it as 'none' from the drop-down. I have shown them in the Plesk panel picture for Windows Reseller hosting.
