Hello,

Yes, if you consider to set correct permissions and take care of basedir restrictions in PHP.

Unable to write

nope, i was unable to write it. the upper level which can write is

/home/username/thefolder

if i create one here /home/thefolder it can not write.

do i need to disable basedir, if gonna write there?

Yes, you really need to disable basedir restrictions in PHP at least for the desired user in order to achieve what you want.

Disable open_basedir will be a security hole if your site is hacked. then the hacker can access to other places on your server.

No need to disable it, just add your path for the domain, at Custom HTTPD Configurations
