After running a backup using Backup and migrate files, I get the following error:

Warning: include_once(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/pear/PEAR5.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/u01/www/vhosts/www.cir.ed.ac.uk/httpdocs:/tmp) in include_once() (line 766 of /u01/www/vhosts/www.cir.ed.ac.uk/httpdocs/drupal/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate_files/...).

The backup appears to be successful. I copied the pear.php, pear5.php and tar.php files into the /includes folder of the module.
I have Backup and Migrate version 7.x-2.2.

Can anyone give me any advice?
Many thanks
Gina

Hi GinaF,

My best guess is that the server has some restrictions on where PEAR5.php can be called from. I found this article that discusses it.

Hi Gina

I had the same problem, I tried the .htaccess but got no Joy. So I contacted my Host and it was solved :)
Ask your host, they should be able to resolve it for you :)

All the best
