Hey guys... i have been trying to make the messenger coexist with a joomla installation, finally I moved the Mibew messenger to a subdomain to keep the two applications separated so joomla runs under / at domain.com and the messenger runs under /.SubDomains/mibew at mibew.domain.com.
Joomla requires magic_quotes_gpc = Off to work, so I had to create a local php.ini file under / and it works perfectly. The problem comes with mibew as this php.ini affects everything under /.
I am getting open_basedir errors, like this:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/user/public_html/.SubDomains/mibew/libs/../) in /home/user/public_html/.SubDomains/mibew/libs/common.php
This is my php.ini:
register_globals = Off
safe_mode = Off
allow_url_fopen = Off
allow_url_include = Off
;display_errors = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 8M
upload_tmp_dir = /home/user/tmp
open_basedir = /tmp:/home/user/tmp:/home/user/public_html/.SubDomains/mibew:/home/user/public_html/.SubDomains/mibew/libs
disable_functions = show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, phpinfo, popen, proc_open
If I comment the open_basedir line altogether i still get error messages regarding /tmp not being within the allowed paths in open_basedir.
