Novice htaccess question

[gripper111]

Hi fellow board members,

I am a complete rookie at htacess issues. Here is the question

I have a webhost reseller account and I have a website blog on an account on this host.

I get the following error
"Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set"......

I contacted the hosting company who tells me that safe mode is off and that because of this being on reseller machine they cannot turn off open_basedir.

They did not say but I am assuming it is for security purposes. On the one site can I override this setting using an entry in the htaccess file?

If so what do I add.

I thank you in advance for you assistance

Hi

As [tt]open_basedir[/tt]'s changeability is [tt]PHP_INI_ALL[/tt], theoretically you can use [tt]php_value[/tt] in your .htaccess :

php_value open_basedir none

If not works, that means it is only settable with [tt]php_admin_value[/tt], but that is allowed only in httpd.conf ( or its equivalent ).


Feherke.
