php error...openbasedir
 

I get that when vieing http://xx.xx.35.138/~myusername/phpinfo.php
I've tested a few php files. Odd part is that it happens only to one account on the server but not the other (only 2 on the server total)

Centos 3.3
Cpanel 9.9.9 R-14
I've done an Apache Update in WHM using PHP 4.39 and all. Worked fine.

Any ideas?

There is a bug with PHP, which is triggered with certain permissions / configuration options while using relative pathing in php scripts.

A workaround is to edit your php scripts to use absolute pathing in your site (for example, instead of ../index.php, change it to /yoursite/index.php).

This appears to be happening only to virtual hosts which
do not have the admin flag open_basedir set.

Here is a patch to fix php:
http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php4/mai....512.2.10&ty=u

release 4.3.5 of php will resolve this issue.
