Description
People often have open_basedir restrictions set in PHP, and then open a ticket because Blesta shows that the uploads or logs directory is not writable under Settings > System > General: Basic Setup, but they are convinced that the directory is writable and that it's Blesta's problem.
Let's check if open_basedir restrictions exist, if they do exist, let's list them in a red alert box above Basic Setup. The box should not appear if there are no restrictions, and if there are restrictions we should list them.
Here's some pseudo code. Obviously this will be done differently, but it shows the basics and includes support for Windows.
<?php
function checkOpenBaseDir() {
// Get the open_basedir setting
$openBaseDir = ini_get('open_basedir');
// Check if it's empty (no restrictions)
if (empty($openBaseDir)) {
// There are no restrictions, do not show alert box
return false;
}
// Determine the separator based on the OS
$separator = (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') ? ';' : ':';
// Split the string into an array of paths
$restrictedPaths = explode($separator, $openBaseDir);
// Output the restrictions
$message = "An open_basedir restriction is in effect. Remove all restrictions to remove this message. If any paths below are not writable, make sureThe following paths are allowed:\n";
foreach ($restrictedPaths as $index => $path) {
// Clean up any empty or malformed entries
$path = trim($path);
if (!empty($path)) {
$message .= ($index + 1) . ". " . $path . "\n";
}
}
return $message;
}
// Run the function and evaluate to determine if we need to display the box including allowed paths
checkOpenBaseDir();
?>
