Hi I am trying to use extern php but i am getting the following error messages

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/letters/extern.php?action=active) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs/index.php on line 142

Warning: main(/letters/extern.php?action=active): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs/index.php on line 142

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/letters/extern.php?action=active' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs/index.php on line 142

Re: extern php error messages

Maybe you have to change the open_basedir restriction in your php settings :
http://gr.php.net/features.safe-mode

If you cannot do it then maybe your host will do it.
Otherwise you have to move extern.php to /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs , but then you also have to change PUN_ROOT and such.

Re: extern php error messages

So, what is your punBB installation directory then?

Is it /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs/
or is it /home/httpd/vhosts/lettertogod.net/httpdocs/letters/ ?

Re: extern php error messages

Well, in your php page that you put wherever you like you place the line

<?include "http://lettertogod.net/letters/extern.php?action=active";?>

where you want the list to appear.
That's all.

Re: extern php error messages

Well, the page including the extern.php must be a php file as well.
And of course your PHP configuration must allow the inclusion of URLs. Some don't but your host can tell you.

Re: extern php error messages
