hi everyone,

i have spent the whole day browsing here to look for a solution to my problem which is mentionend above. my standalone gallery2 is working great but unfortunately i can't integrate it to my mambo site due to this matter.

i always got this error when i attempt to view the gallery from my main site.

Quote:

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/web/web309/html/digitalworld/embed.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/web309/html/:/var/www/web309/phptmp/:/var/www/web309/files/:/var/www/web309/atd/) in /var/www/web309/html/components/com_gallery2/gallery2.php on line 77

Warning: main(/var/www/web/web309/html/digitalworld/embed.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /var/www/web309/html/components/com_gallery2/gallery2.php on line 77

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/var/www/web/web309/html/digitalworld/embed.php' (include_path='.') in /var/www/web309/html/components/com_gallery2/gallery2.php on line 77

this problem has nothing to do with the path configuration in mambo admin panel. i would like to know if there is a different code that can replace this require_once(MOS_GALLERY2_PARAMS_PATH . 'embed.php'); to bypass open_basedir

any help you can do to this matter will be highly appreciated.

many thanks in advance.

install gallery2 multisite, leave the orginal one. Install one where you are running mambo and connect to that one with mambo.

i don't know if this will over come the open_basedir restriction but i though you could use one set of foto files with multiple gallery2 install.

but i could be wrong,

no, it won't. forget multisite.
you'll have to add /var/www/web/web309/html/digitalworld/ and /var/www/web309/html/components to your open basedir paths (php.ini).

or why not set open_basedir path to /var/www/web309/html/ ??

hi michiel and valiant,

thank you so much for your kind support. it's not possible for me to change the open_basedir path because i have no access to this area. i have talked to my host about this matter and he explained to me that they are not going to change it for security reasons. well, i think i have no other choice than to find for another solution.

by the way, i was experimenting this morning. i changed the "require_once" command to "include". mind you what, the gallery integration was halfway perfect. everything was there and i can even login from mambo site to gallery admin. the only thing is...the thumbnails doesn't show. i can see the folder of the sub-album i created, but no thumbnail...just a broken link is visible. maybe because i removed this code

MOS_GALLERY2_PARAMS_PATH .

.

i really don't know whatelse to do. i find gallery2 is superior to other existing mambo gallery component that's why i desperately want to have it.

@include vs require:
from http://php.benscom.com/include/

Quote:

The documentation below also applies to require(). The two constructs are identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error. In other words, use require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page.

so i wonder why anything works at all. there should be no difference between include and require in the sense how open_basedir restrictions are handled.

perhaps your host actually changed the open_basedir and that's why it works.

as for MOS_GALLERY2_PARAMS_PATH:
why did you remove it?
michiel_1981 will have to handle this, don't know what the meaning of this mambo integration constant is.
