Heres the basics:

  • we've just switched host
  • we only have 2 sites hosted on this server, no one but me has access
  • on our other host, we could include and write server wide, for example:

/home/sitea could include:

<?php
include("/home/siteb/public_html/script.php");
?>

We now get errors such as:

[function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in...

We could also write files to different websites on the same server, etc.

I know this is a potential security issue, but we don't and never will host other people on this server, and nobody else has access.

It is not an ownership issue.

I have logged in to WHM and excluded these domains from open_basedir

What is wrong?

Is this to do with user:group ownership? – Latox Nov 7 '11 at 17:23
Can you post the rights of the home folder your having trouble with? As well as who the web server is running as? (Owner and group should be fine) – Jeffery Smith Nov 7 '11 at 17:46
