open_basedir work around
Hello people,
I need to put some files outside the webroot of my site, namely the database conection file and a few others. The problem is that i cant put anything outside the webroot because of the open_basedir restriction. A work around i have heard of is to move the document root up one level with an .htaccess file and place all files that need securing in the old document root, and pubic files in new root. Bit confusing so below is how it looks CURRENTLY /var/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/ httpdocs is webroot SUGGESTION /var/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/root/ root is now webroot, httpdocs is where i place secure files Does anyone know if this will work, how to do it and if it really is secure, OR any other better ideas?! Thanks
