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!

I'm using plesk and it works nice to me.

The problem is not in plesk itself, maybe you just haven't set a high enough memory limit? (check the forums for this)

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).

I am having the same problem. I have plesk 8.3. I have checked the memory settings and there is plenty of memory. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

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

Are you still having issues with this? Let me know if you do, as i use a plesk server, and have installed this many times without any issues.
