cannot upload files via http

["Carlos A. Benavente" <cabenave@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

I've installed PHP Version 4.3.9 as an Apache module, Apache/2.0.52, and 
RHEL 4.

I have a script that uploads files fine when open_basedir is commented 
out but fails whenever open_basedir is set to "./"

With open_basedir = "./", I specify the upload_tmp_dir = /tmp and also 
have included /tmp on my php_admin_value open_basedir directive in the 
httpd.conf just in case. With all these set, the file never gets 
created. However, if I create a file, named foo.txt at the shell prompt 
and then try to upload the same file foo.txt file via http, it 
overwrites it. So, it only fails when it tries to create a new file over 
http.

Here is my upload script:


if (is_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name']))
{
move_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'], "$full_path") or die 
("Couldn't copy");
print "file uploaded!<br><br>";
}

Any clues?

TIA,
Carlos
