PHP Warning: realpath(): open_basedir restriction

    We get these in our logs about a million times a day,

    PHP Warning: realpath(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/example.com) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/example.com/www/:/usr/share/php/:/usr/local/lib/wordpress/plugins/) in /var/www/example.com/www/public/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-maps/legacy-core.php on line 385

    Looking at that code… does it really need to guess the document root? Or rather, what special form of the document root does it desire? Normally ABSPATH is what you want.

    In any case, the correct document root for us is /var/www/example.com/www/public. It never should have made it up to /var/www/example.com.

  • Hi @michaelorlitzky,

    Thank you so much for getting in touch, we really appreciate your time.

    This is done due to the plugin using the user defined path which the plugin needs to determine and in doing so cannot make use of ABSPATH. ABSPATH is used when pointing to Core files, but may function incorrectly if used to locate files/folders within wp-content for example.

    I have, however, informed our lead developer of this report and we will kindly look into this further for a future update of WP Google Maps.

    Thank you kindly for bringing this to our attention.

    Kindest Regards,
    Steven De Beer
