open_basedir restriction in effect IIS

[exorgroup]

I have installed PrestaShop on IIS server using Plesk to a root folder of a domain - it installed without any apparent issue

 

Once I open the site, I get a bunch of similar errors:

PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\inetpub\vhosts\pharmamalta.com\httpdocs/themes/default/modules/blocksearch/C:\inetpub\vhosts\pharmamalta.com\httpdocs/modules/blocksearch/blocksearch-top.tpl) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:/inetpub/vhosts/pharmamalta.com\;C:\Windows\Temp\) in C:\inetpub\vhosts\pharmamalta.com\httpdocs\classes\Tools.php on line 1380

 

 

I found that php.ini needs to be altered to have the following settings:

extension = php_mysql.dll

extension = php_gd2.dll

allow_url_fopen = On

register_globals = Off

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

allow_url_include = Off

 

My server had these settings before installation.

 

Any idea how to fix this?

I just installed PrestaShop myself, and I started getting the same errors as you!

 

After some digging around and playing around with its code, I found out that this is most probably caused by the fact that error_log php.ini setting was not set!

 

If you set "error_log=<some_file_path>" (replace <some_file_path> with an actual file on your system) then PrestaShop should start working!

I followed gnl's advice and it did not work - reason > I am running plesk therefore the php.ini in the windows folder is not really used.

 

If you are running Plesk then you should alter the setting in php.ini found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP53 or similar depending where PHP is installed for PLESK

 

It also works if you set error_log = syslog
