I moved my web site  (http://hombrelobo.com) from one server with PHP 4 to another one with PHP 5.

My WP suffered a bit, some incompatibilities, but managed to get it all working at the end, except for Simple:Press Forum.

I was running WP 2.51 and S:PF 3.11. When I press on the S:PF plugin activation
, the page for the forum (http://hombrelobo.com/foros) freezes and all the other pages of the web site behave wrongly, with posts all wrong.

So I downloaded S:PF 3.13. and tried to install it and I get this:

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/sf-startup.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/hombrelobo.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/hombrelobo.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-control.php on line 26

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sf_load_foundation() in /var/www/vhosts/hombrelobo.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-control.php on line 33

I changed the contact form plugin, after reading in the FAQs of the forum, for the one you recommend.

I upgraded WP to 2.6.

All seems to work well, except for S:PF that still has the same problem: version 3.11 freezes the forum pages and damages the whole site (and the menu doesn't appear) and version 3.13 doesn't install (error mentioned above)

As far as I can see, the change that has affected S:PF is moving it from PHP 4 to 5.

Any suggestion ?  Thanks

SPF works fine with php 4 and 5…  the issue is the php 5 setup on your host… they have disabled openbasedir functionality… this allows php to limit the paths from whicih other files can be included…  that would be a problem for a bunch of WP stuff as you can see….  you need to ask your host to enable like it was on your php 4 setup….

Thanks a lot. I found the way to do it in this post. It basically says this:

 Disable open_basedir in Plesk

Add the following contents in the file /var/www/vhosts/<your domain>/conf/vhost.conf

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/@domain_name@/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
</Directory>

Run the command

#/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a

And now everything works great.

Thanks a lot.

for others with this issue, it can be set in either the vhost.conf (for vps or virtual setups) or in the php.ini file for shared hosting…  the fix above is the proper virtual host solution…  in shared hosting, just comment out (which is the default) the open_basedir= statement in php.ini
