php require not functioning

[massimo]

Hi all,

I'm using a php require to include another file which has worked fine, until I checked my site yesterday. Here's the code I've been using.

<?php require $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/includes/top.php"; ?>

Standard stuff. What's weird is that I'm using the same code on all pages but only get the following warning on some pages and not others.

Warning:  require() [[URL="http://www.krazybov.com/advertise/function.require"]function.require[/URL]]:  open_basedir restriction in effect.  File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/includes/top.php) is not within the  allowed path(s): (/home/:/tmp) in /home/massimo/public_html/krazybov.com/advertise/index.php  on line 1

Warning:  require(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/includes/top.php) [[URL="http://www.krazybov.com/advertise/function.require"]function.require[/URL]]:  failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/massimo/public_html/krazybov.com/advertise/index.php  on line 1

Fatal error:  require() [[URL="http://www.krazybov.com/advertise/function.require"]function.require[/URL]]:  Failed opening required '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/includes/top.php'  (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/massimo/public_html/krazybov.com/advertise/index.php  on line 1

Warning appears on this page http://www.krazybov.com/001/

No warning on this page http://www.krazybov.com/contact/

A solution that doesn't involve me going into every page to change the php require would be much appreciated.

Got any bright ideas? I'm stumped!

Unfortunately, $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] seems to be the culprit with the new server configuration.

Seems like you will have to go in and change it to "/home/yourcPanelUsername" in all your scripts.

Hmmmm. Not sure if there is a way to use .htaccess for this. I will try to Google up some things but no promises.

Edit/Add: if you have a huge amount of scripts with this problem, you might think about a script that will do the editing en masse.

Well, .htaccess is a no go. You can set environment variables there . You can unset DOCUMENT_ROOT . But it won't let you set DOCUMENT_ROOT. I tried.
Not sure if that is Apache or just x10's settings.

I got 500 error with requesting a Mysql function...

It seems there is a bug in the x10hosting or apache setting..??

Is it possible to get a solution ?? what to do ?

Thanks to all, technicians operating the x10 servers... Keep on but tell us the progress on this issue

Thanks Descalzo, looks like I have a lot of cutting and pasting to do

What's really puzzling is why the same code works on some pages but not others. I don't mind fixing the problem (honestly) but sometimes I just like to know why / what's causing the problem.
