Errors: Table Headers

[Phil Macino]

I am getting the following errors after moving my forum to a new server. The forums are there but under the following:

"Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/board/global.php on line 224

Warning: fopen("/proc/loadavg", "r") - Operation not permitted in /home/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/board/global.php on line 224

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/board/global.php on line 226

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/board/global.php:224) in /home/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/board/admin/functions.php on line 1712"

Is there anybody who knows where to point me or a f.a.q. that handles this?

T.I.A.

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.

Hi Steve,

I uploaded the phpinfo.php to the site. http://birdsandmoons.com/board/

Let me know if you can't get to it. There seems to be some DNS resolution issues with the site right now. If needed, I can send you the physical IP and you can add it to your host file.

Symptom update:

It looks like users are unable to log in as they are continually prompted for there user name and password. Once the finally get to screen to reply to a post, they get prompted once again than booted.

I tried logging in with my admin account though the forums main page and received the same result. However, by logging in via the admin console, then clicking the link in the upper right of the admin cp....it works...with the same messages showing as in my first post on this issue.

First of all, I strongly recommend that you upgrade to PHP 4.3.4. The version you are running (4.2.2) has a number of serious problems.

Second, you have open_basedir restrictions on your server. To get uploads to work you need to create a 'tmp' subdirectory under your httpdocs 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/httpd/vhosts/birdsandmoons.com/httpdocs/tmp

Hopefully this will be enough. However since you are on a 'vhosts' server you may also need to followthe instructions in this thread:

Thanks Steve. Will do, and post a follow up.

I did the suggestions and now get this...

Something was not done correctly because you are still getting the open_basedir error. Either that or you will need to follow the extra instructions in the link I posted:

I did do the extra step in the link...I followed the directions for a dedicated server. Should I try it again?

[Steve Machol]

As far as I know either my instructions ot those instructions should have worked. I suggest double-checking everything.

[Phil Macino]

I did check everthing twice and everything is as you suggested. I tried doing a second parallel installation with a database I created in Plesk on the same domain and this was the result...even though I verified all of the info in the config.php prior to install

Attempting to attach to database...

I should also add that I did use SSH to access the db through root and entered the db after using the same credentials that I am not allowed to connect with through the vB install

My original dB was moved over from a shared server and "just worked" (with the errors in the first post) after uploaded the forum files via ASCII to the mirrored directories on the dedicated server even though the IP address was never changed from the original install.

After I changed the original IP address in the config.php to reflect the new server "birdsandmoons.com" (since I am using Plesk now) and I now receive this...

I am beginning to wonder if there wasn't something I missed in the transer or some other Plesk vB issue that I failed to see.

[Steve Machol]

Try setting the servername back to 'localhost'.
