[Plugin: Google News Sitemap Generator] Error with XML path

  • The plugin seems to be working correctly but occasionally I get this in the error_log.

    Error: PHP Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
    File(../google-news-sitemap.xml) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/XXX/subdomains/blog/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/XXX/subdomains/blog/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/google-news-sitemap-generator/google-news-sitemap.php on line 205

    I’m guessing the current working directory is wrong – it might possibly be related to /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron being run

    Perhaps changing line 204 from
    $xmlFile = "../google-news-sitemap.xml";
    to
    $xmlFile = ABSPATH . "/google-news-sitemap.xml";
    might fix it?

  • open_basedir restriction in effect.

    this is a host “security” feature
    ask them how to get around it

    The problem isn’t with open_basedir – occasionally the script gets the path it tries to write to wrong.
