Hello,

I've just got a new server with plesk 8.3 installation on centos, but having trouble with installing silverstripe. When I run the install.php everything looks allright exept for my php.ini. There's a warning that says:

allow_call_time_pass_reference is set to '' in php.ini. You can install with allow_call_time_pass_reference not set, but some warnings may get displayed. For best results, turn it on.

When I click install the installer stops at: "Building database schema..." and is immediatly finished loading. There are no errors on my screen. When I look in the errorlog of the domain i see a couple of errors, the first one is:

PHP Warning: is_dir() [<a href='function.is-dir'>function.is-dir</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/../) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 93, referer: http://www.mydomain/install.php

Does anybody know what causes this problem?

Thanks in advance!

That's most likely because PHP Safe-Mode is enabled (http://ch2.php.net/features.safe-mode). You should be able to disable safe-mode in your Plesk Control Panel.

Edit
Since your Error comes from a open_basedir restriction (possibly locking you out of the tmp directory where the ManifestBuilder wants to write to). It should be sufficient to disable open_basedir, or (more secure) set it to the required directories (separated with a colon).

Still no solution for this problem? Also struggling with this here.
