Help Openbase Dir Restriction

[amw_drizz]

okay i have a few problems with my script i am creating to help in tracking donations.

 

 

The problem is when users try to register they get the following error

 

>Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/config/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/username:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/username/public_html/donations/scripts/forms/purchase_info_final.php on line 2

Warning: main(/config/config.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/username/public_html/donations/scripts/forms/purchase_info_final.php on line 2

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/config/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php') in /home/username/public_html/donations/scripts/forms/purchase_info_final.php on line 2

 

the problem is that my general config for the entire script resides in one folder and cannot be access by the script.

 

If i have it like

 

>require_once("config/config.php");

 

then i trys and goes to the folder within were that script is located

 

but when i try to use the general fall back to root web method it does not work

 

>require_once("/config/config.php");

 

i get the error above, and i dont want to move the config file as when i decide to publish it and make it avalible to the general popualtion i dont want to edit multiple config files across the site with the same info

 

any help would be appreciated

 

thanks

You do not have permission to access /config/config.php on the server.

 

You should use /home/username/public_html/config/config.php as the full path. where username is your cpanel username.
