open_basedir problems when starting PHP CodeSniffer

I just installed PHP CodeSniffer. Everything went without errors.

Now, when I try to run it from CLI:

[dagrevis@localhost php-codesniffer]$ phpcs
PHP Warning:  is_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/../CodeSniffer/CLI.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/) in /usr/bin/phpcs on line 28

Warning: is_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/../CodeSniffer/CLI.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/) in /usr/bin/phpcs on line 28

What could possibly be the problem?

I checked php.ini for entry “open_basedir“ and this is what I got there:

open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/

Any support is much appreciated!

open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/bin/........) is not within the allowed path(s)

open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/

I think you will get it now.

Thanks for you hint. I just unset `open_basedir` at all.

P.S. Sorry for late reply.

Re: open_basedir problems when starting PHP CodeSniffer

Same problem here.  I don't want to unset my open_basedir just to work around this.

I've tried adding several paths to my open_basedir, including /usr/bin/, just to see if that works around the problem.  It doesn't.

[dave@apollo projects]$ phpcs

Hey Dave,

try to add /usr/ to open_basedir, works like a charm.

Re: open_basedir problems when starting PHP CodeSniffer

Confirmed that adding /usr/ to open_basedir gets rid of the error.  However, I'm not going to do that.  That's almost as insecure as removing open_basedir entirely.

If I could add /usr/CodeSniffer/, or /usr/bin/../CodeSniffer/ to open_basedir, I'd do it.  But neither of those gets rid of the error.  I think the stupid /../ in the path is causing the problems.

On the bright side, it does appear that phpcs is working.  It is just spitting out these errors before it succeeds.
