open_basedir is a PHP security feature. It specifies which folders and/or files can be accessed via PHP.
For example:
open_basedir = /path/to/open_basedir
Then, PHP cannot access /path/to/other_folder.
For security reasons, this cannot be freely configured on our shared hosting plans.
The following options are available:
{DOCROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}{:}{/}var{/}lib{/}php{/}sessions{:}{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}tmp
Allows access to:
- the document root of a domain.
- the PHP directory, which allows you to use PHP itself.
- a directory for temporary files.
{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}{:}{/}var{/}lib{/}php{/}sessions
Allows access to:
- all directories and files in the hosting.
- the PHP directory, which allows you to use PHP itself.
- a directory for temporary files.
