multiple errors updating options after upgrading to 2.8.1

  • Hi folks,

    Just like the problem I experienced after using the automatic upgrade from 2.7.x to 2.8 and updating pages, the same thing appears to be happening when updating the (main) settings after a manual upgrade from 2.8 to 2.8.1. Thus far I haven’t got any plugins installed and Akismet isn’t active.

    Here’s the errors again:

    Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/.htaccess) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/home/[username]:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /usr/home/[username]/public_html/wp/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 130

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Robert

  • Check out my solution:

    https://www.dzuchara.com/wordpress-upgrade-bug-fix

    I had this problem too, and read up on all the forums.
    But I solved it by doing all this (don’t know which one actually fixed it).
    I’m more of a designer than a programmer.

    Errors I was getting:
    a. 500 Internal Server Error
    b. Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/.htaccess) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/home/[username]:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /usr/home/[username]/public_html/wp/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 130

    c. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    I had WordPress in a subfolder (wp-folder) and a domain pointing to another folder (old-folder)
    I wanted the domain to point to wp-folder. (this is supposed to be easy right?!)

    1. Making sure that my Settings > Miscellaneous > Store Uploads… is “wp-content/uploads” (and not something else)

    2. Deleting theme-my-login plugin because that was causing my site to redirect in a loop, and I couldn’t get back into Admin. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL – The Relocate Method worked, and got me back into my login page.

    3. Whenever I changed my blog and wordpress address in Dashboard > General it would stuff up.
    So I made sure that the wp-config.php file had

    define('WP_HOME','https://mydomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://mydomain.com');

    4. Deleted my .htaccess file completely and then made a htaccess.txt with nothing in it, and uploaded it in ASCII mode through FTP and renamed it to .htaccess. Changed the permissions to 777.

    5. Go Dashboard > General > Permalinks
    And flicked whatever options, saved it, then clicked on the “custom” one put what I wanted e.g. /%postname% and then saved it.

    6. With all the errors fixed and my site redirecting properly, I reinstalled theme-my-login plugin.

    I hope this helps a rookie wannabe-web-developer like me.

    3. Whenever I changed my blog and wordpress address in Dashboard > General it would stuff up.
    So I made sure that the wp-config.php file had
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://mydomain.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://mydomain.com’);

    This did the trick for me. Thanx retrosneak!
