Hi,
I'm having a problem during setup.
Ez Publish is telling me that ImageMagick is missing but is is installed on the server.
It is in /usr/bin/convert - i have run it by command line.
I have entered this path (/usr/bin) and other combinations but can't get Ez to detect ImageMagick.
What could be causing this problem?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt, that might be a result of open_basedir restricting PHP to certain folders, and /usr/bin isn't in the white list.
If I had more time, I would write less code.

I run a VPS for a bunch of clients. Would disabling this likely to cause errors with other PHP apps or is it purely a security feature.
Also is there a way to add directories to this white list?

It is security realted. http://en.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.phpWe recommend to keep open_basedir and safe_mode disabled since this may effects some eZ Publish functionality (e.g caching).

Thanks - I'll disable open_basedir and let you know if it resolves the problem.
Is there no way to edit this White List?

In Apache config, you can try (inside the Directory tag of the ezpublish folder) setting:
php_admin_value open_basedir "/path/to/ezpublish:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/local/ezpublish/bin"
i.e a colon-separated list of allowed paths, and symlink the binaries you want to allow ezpublish to access in /usr/local/ezpublish/bin (or whichever path you want).

I disabled open_basedir and the problem magically disappeared!!
Couln't be bothered trying the other white list configuration - it seemed like a lot of fiddling when flicking the switch on open_basedir did the job.
I control the VPS so there is no major security issue.
Thanks to all contributors!!

It's an old post but I really need to know how did you disable open_basedir?
I did everything I know but the local value is still pointing to the root folder of my site.
If I add php_admin_value open_basedir none to the .htaccess I get server errors in return..
Please help!!

Got it!
Sometimes the solution is right there! You only know when you have found it out, though!
From the shell prompt:
# touch /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/vhost.conf # vi /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/vhost.conf
(esc+i to edit)
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs> php_admin_value open_basedir none </Directory>
(esc and then :wq to save and close)
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a # service httpd restart
..and there it is, basedir restrictions are turned off!
