I previously ran Vesta CP on Ubuntu and wanted to run something a little faster so chose centOS7 minimal. Installed Vesta CP and restored my backup. All my sites are running fine. Except for the ones running Craft CMS.

I would like to stress that the backup worked perfectly before

I get the error "Please ensure that $craftPath is set correctly" Now I'v been (honestly) trying for the past 6 hours to fix this on my own but I can't figure it out.

PHP runs as adminBOB (determent using: ) And checking my chmod the user and group are adminBOB:adminBOB (same as if I make a new folder or upload a new file)

Apache/httpd runs as "apache:apache" changing the owner of all my files for this site doesn't make the error go away either.

I'm also my http.conf (and tried php.ini) configured to have:

php_admin_flag safe_mode off

php_admin_value open_basedir none

So I'm almost certain those two are not on. Everything (folder/files) wise is the same. Same control panel (that installs all services)

I have no idea what to do next to try and get CraftCMS working again. Please assist! Thank you!!

  • If I move my /craft/ folder (and adjust the index.php setting) Craft works. But I really want to have it outside of the public_html folder. So it's not a craft specific problem, but something else? – Kitsune Jul 11 '16 at 20:15
  • By chance do you have something like Suhosin or mod_security installed? – Brad Bell Jul 11 '16 at 20:23
  • Thanks for the fast response. Just checked with phpinfo(); does not show mod_security nor Suhosin. – Kitsune Jul 11 '16 at 20:29
  • I'm no sysadmin, but what happens if you change PHP to run under the apache:apache user and group? – Brad Bell Jul 11 '16 at 23:26
  • No worries. I did try that. "chown -R user:grouphere /home/kitsune/web/" (holds all my websites) where user:grouphere had any possible combination. PHP appears to be running as root (lsof -i | grep :http) – Kitsune Jul 12 '16 at 09:37

So as it turns out Vesta has a funny way of handing httpd config files. There was another one tucked away somewhere where "open_basedir" They are kept in "/home/admin(username)/conf/web/httpd.conf"

Removing that fixed it.

Such a pain, tooks me hours to figure out something so simple. I had already removed it from the httpd.conf in the default location.

Something to keep in mind if anyone has the error and is running VESTA CP!
