Hi,

I install the Mahara 16.10.0 version in the Eszterhazy Karoly College’s server (Hungary) and in the Administration section I have one Warning sign message:

• Your server has the php open_basedir restriction enabled. Some requests for external sites may fail to complete. This could stop certain feeds from updating among other things.

How can you solved this problem or how can I disappear this Warning sign?

I read the „Successsful Instalation now error 500” title post in the forum, but I can't resolve this Warning sign message.

Thanks,

Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

Here is some information about this php directive:

* http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir

Can you please make sure that you have the dataroot directory setup (i.e. it exists and is writable)?

This is the location of where all your uploaded files will be saved. In config.php, the parameter is:

$cfg->dataroot = '/path/to/uploaddir';

This path must be writable by the webserver (i.e. www-data in Ubuntu or apache in Redhat) and outside the document root (i.e. /var/www/mahara)  (i.e. outside of where your Mahara code lives).

Please let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks,

Ghada
