is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/dev/urandom) is not within the allowed path(s):
Some user's have reported getting the following error (usually on the login page):
is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/dev/urandom) is not within the allowed path(s):
=Reason
This happens because the php configuration for open_basedir is limitting the directories that can be accessed. And Family Connections attempts to read from /dev/urandom, which is not in your allowed list.
=Solution
There are a few ways to fix this:
-
Change the open_basedir settings:
1.1 Turn it off completely
You can turn off this configuration completly and allow php to read from all directories, by setting your php.ini value for open_basedir to none.
php_admin_value open_basedir none
1.2 Include /dev/urandom in your settings
-
Silence the error
You can simply add
@
in front of the is_readable() function call on line 51 of inc/thirdparty/phpass/PasswordHash.php.
