Hi,

Thank you very much for RSFirewall.

I'm trying to move my configuration.php file and don't know the best way to do it. I've tried to move the configuration.php info to another location outside the www root, but when I move the file and try to call it using require(), I get a open_basedir error.

My php.ini file has basedir set to the web root. Is there a way to get around this error without opening up the site root, which would kinda defeat the whole purpose anyway.

Any thoughts/suggestions,
Thanks

Hello,

Please try contacting your hosting provider in order to add another folder to your open_basedir(), then you will be able to move the configuration.php file into the respective folder that was added and you will no longer receive the respective warning message.

After your hosting provider has added another folder to the open_basedir() you can refer to this article where it is described what you need to do in order to move configuration.php :

Do you have a tutorial how to move files and folder out of the public folder

I know that you have to make a configuration.php with a code that point to the new path of the file, about folder the Same?

Do you have to put any security code in the head of the modify configuration.php file

same question. openbase_dir is not a problem, my hosts allows own php.ini file.

yet placing configuration.php outside of public_html and having defines.php adjusted accordingly is a bit difficult.

i could really use an example of modifying of JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT.DS. for a configuration.php beyond public_html.

define( 'JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT.DS.'..'.DS.'myfolderoutsidepublic' );

The folder outside the public viewing area is here:

/home/mysite/myfolderoutsidepublic

and here is where your website would be:

/home/mysite/public_html

If you have moved your configuration.php to

/home/mysite/myfolderoutsidepublic

you might have to express your define as:

( 'JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT.DS.'../myfolderoutsidepublic' );

It worked for me like this.
You also might have to change the php.ini file name to disable it and RSFirewall will create a new one with your new settings.
