How to disable open_basedir for one website
First of all be aware that it’s not secure to disable open_basedir, however some applications really require this to be turned off.
Here are steps to disable open_basedir for a single website:
1. Open apache config file (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf on Debian/Ubuntu , or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on CentOS)
2. Find VirtualHost for a domain name
3. Remove existing value for open_basdir and set it to none:
php_admin_value open_basedir “none”
4. Restart apache, on debian/ubuntu:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
on CentOS:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
