When installing gallery 2 I get the following screen full of errors:

This happens right after I click "activate modules". This is on a generic DirectAdmin/Installatron box running CentOS 4. As you can see the paths it is calling for, such as "/home/eggycrew", would not be generating this error if there was an additional "/" at the end of it! Is this a Gallery 2, DA, or Installatron bug? Or is it a bug at all?

I haven't changed any configuration regarding open_basedir. All I did was enable it for this user. Safemode is off, open_basedir is on.

Thanks for your help!
 
Hi,

The Gallery script is not compatible with safe_mode or DA's default open_basedir configuration. If you want to keep open_basedir enabled, each path Gallery needs to access must be added to the open_basedir restriction. In the error you pasted, that includes /home/eggycrew (without the trailing slash--not sure why Gallery is even trying to access that though), /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/bin/. It's easier to just leave open_basedir off.

Wouldn't leaving open_basedir off be a huge security risk? It is my understanding that not having either safe mode or open_basedir enabled allows php scripts to read/write files under practically any directory that the webserver has access to. Or is that incorrect?
