CMS installation issue

[dcalori]

Hi! 

 

When i try to install Concrete5, it adds the tables on the database, but the installation stops and shows the following message: 

 

is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/lib/php/session) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/buenosairesdry.com.ar/:/tmp/).
 

 

What could be the reason for that? is somethin on your end? 

 

Thank you very much for your answer!

Hi @dcalori,

Which version are you installing and which PHP version are you using?

Are you setting Concrete CMS to save sessions into files? What happens if you set it to save into DB?

This behavior is by design. Open_basedir prevents users' scripts from reading files that are outside their home folder, which session files are (they're in /var).

You'll need to reconfigure the software to not save session data in that folder.
