base configuration
 

I have installed a WordPress plugin called IDrive. It backs up the site and the database. It fails on the mysql dump with the following line in the err log.

[Mon Nov 14 22:31:16 2011] [error] [client 188.120.254.184] PHP Warning: unlink() [<a href='function.unlink'>function.unlink</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/IDW_WP_MySQL_dump.sql) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/pdhodges/data:.) in /home/pdhodges/data/www/pdhodges.com/wp-content/plugins/idrive-for-wordpress/idrive.php on line 1177

The client IP address is mine. How do I make /tmp/IDW_WP_MySQL_dump.sql available to specified IP addresses or if the IP address matches the IP address of the account. I plan on adding a unique IP for each client.

Hello, you should configure temporary directory in plugin's configuration (if possible) or try change PHP mode to PHP as CGI in WWW domain properties.

The plugin does not allow that level of control.

When I try to change an existing www account to PHP as CGI or create a new www account with PHP as CGI in the WWW domains section I get

PHP permission problem. The change or creation is no allowed.

I created a new account with a new preset. Everything was set as PHP as cgi. I still get the same err.

Are you have enabled PHP as CGI in the user and preset properties?
