Attach Problem

[MikeCoutermarsh]

Hello,
My users reported that they were unable to attach files. I did a test and this is what it said.

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpH5Ln0m) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/) in /home/revo7/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 1751

I checked the functions.php, on that line it says(and lines below):

$filesize=filesize($attachment);
if ($maxattachsize!=0 and $filesize>$maxattachsize) {
// too big!
@unlink($attachment);
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_attachtoobig")."\");");
exit;
}

Im not sure what is wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Upload the phpinfo.php file from the 'extras' directory of the zip file to your forums directory. Then post the URL here. This will help us troubleshoot the problem.

I know the server's admin pretty well, anything that needs to be changed I should be able to get done.

Well the easiest thing would be to have him remove the open_basedir restrictions he's placed in php.ini.

Failing that to get uploads to work you need to create a 'tmp' subdirectory under the 'home' directory and chmod it to 777. Then in the Admin CP set "Upload In Safe Mode?" to 'Yes' and point the "Safe Mode Temp Directory" to that directory. If you placed the tmp directory in the right place, the path to the Safe Mode Temp Directory will be:

/home/tmp
