global configuration area error

[xmanhattan]

Hello,

I am now using elxis live and received the following error when I entered into the global configuration area:

PHP: tempnam() [function.tempnam]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/enosi:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp)
uri: index2.php?option=com_config&hidemainmenu=1
path: /administrator/components/com_config/admin.config.php
version: Elxis 2008.0 Stable rev1891 [ Olympus ] 10-February-2008 00:39 GMT+2
WARNING(2): /home/enosi/public_html/includes/KFTP/KFTP.php, line 156

The installation went well and I have also checked the global checkin and system information and have not seen why this has happened.

First of all, tell us are you using FTP support (in global config)?

[xmanhattan]

Yes, I have included the information for ftp support.

I didn't see anything that says that I should not although if I am updating the site online I do not see the need for it especially if I upload graphics via my ftp program.

How do I correct the problem?

I just disabled it and now I have received the following error while entering a new section:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method mosSection::getErrorMsg() in /home/enosi/public_html/administrator/components/com_sections/admin.sections.php on line 284

Try to turn open_basedir on, just for a test, and tell me if error has disappeared.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I added that to the .htaccess file but the server does not like it.  Don't know if this helps.

Here are some of the specs from elxis sys info:

Since I disabled ftp, I didn't receive the first message problem.

Well, I have found a major problem that I believe should be known.  While I have been using phpmyadmin to export the db and then to import to the live site, I found that even with small version differences, the tables can have problems.
I then used the database manager in elxis to export the db in sql.  After that I used phpmyadmin to import the db into the live area and this worked correctly.

Now, I have a new problem which I cannot understand, and it is that the site has no menus or content showing but everything is in the admin and db.

Help?

pls see http://www.enosismyrneon.gr/elxis/

Check your database's encoding. It should be utf8 and not latin1.

[xmanhattan]

I have it set to utf8_general_ci.

Now, I have a new problem which I cannot understand, and it is that the site has no menus or content showing but everything is in the admin and db.

If you want, give me access to the Admin panel so i can check it for you. 

PM me, for more.

Hi, i'm answering from here, for future reference  I got in the admin area. Firstly i published the "select language" module and i saw it working fine. After that i did the same with the "Main menu" module. So i decided to go to the Tools area, and do a FIX LANGUAGE (see attachment).

Don't know what the problem was exactly as it seems the "fix language" process fixed the errors. http://www.enosismyrneon.gr/elxis/ is working fine.

- If u face other problems, plz update this topic.
- You may change your login password exc. FTP... didn't use it.

Thank you very much.  I can't believe that was all that had to be done.

I won't forget what Datahell told me, when i first started using Elxis. His post is somewhere in this forum 

Whenever you face problems with an elxis installation, try firstly to run the "fix language" tool.
