[Plugin: Shadowbox JS] open_basedir() restrictions

Do media uploads work on your site? Or automatic upgrades/installs?

It looks like there is a misconfiguration for open_basedir.

Your document root appears to actually be at /usr/home/deb4664/ and open_basedir has specified /home/deb4664/. Note the lack of /usr in what is specified in open_basedir.

I’ve contacted my hosting provider and will see what they come up with.

Let me know, hopefully we can get it worked out.

It seems that /usr/home/… and /home/… are aliases but the real problem is that the function checks for an absolute file in /shadowbox-js/… and that is blocked.

Hm, that indicates that the wp_upload_dir function, which is a built in WP function, isn’t working.

A couple of questions:

1) What version of PHP are you running?
2) Do media uploads work correctly? (Media->Add New or When writing a post)

PHP version is 5.2.13 and media uploads pose no problems. You can see the server setup using this link: https://phpinfo.antagonist.nl/. Note that this is for the “administrator” so some settings are a bit different for me as a mere customer.

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/shadowbox-js/f673da587d70eb8d9f92b19c526abd4c.js) is not within the allowed path(s): (/f5/daede/:/nfsn/apps/php5/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php/lib/php/:/nfsn/content/content/nfsn/) in /f5/daede/public/wp-content/plugins/shadowbox-js/inc/frontend.php on line 94

Exact same problem. Media uploads work fine. I updated the plugin with the automated script with no issues, now my page craps this out.

It is searching for an absolute file path in the relative location /shadowbox-js, and this is contrary to the proper operation of open_basedir.

I’ve been watching this thread for about a month now and there hasn’t been an update to it. Is the shadowbox-js project abandoned?

I’ve downgraded to 3.0.0.3 in the meantime. Hope to see an explanation/fix soon ??

I am not sure why this is happening, and it is not that the plugin is attempting to put /shadowbox-js in the root of the file system. For some reason wp_upload_dir() is returning ”, which when the plugin append ‘/shadowbox-js/blah.js’ it is only ending up with the appended string.

You can try the development version of this plugin which may help:

Your linked development version works fine for me – thanks a lot!
