Blank white pages loading after moving from Shared host to a VPS HELP

[Sharingan_Okami]

Hey guys, I'm having a serious 'permission' problem i think. Just after changing hosts from Shared host to a VPS Server. I have tried to change permissions and some Apache setting but with no luck whatsoever, i have been stuck like this for almost a week now and searched high and low for a solution.

I'm currently running Vbulletin 4.2.1

Here are my error logs:

Any help on this problem is much appreciated.

To resolve this error, you must edit the file httpd.conf. Way before it can be seen in phpinfo in apache2handler section directive Server Root. For example, in my case this way - / etc / httpd / httpd.conf. Open the file httpd.conf, find the mention of the parameter open_basedir. And set it to none. (php_admin_value open_basedir none)

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work :(

There was no "parameter open_basedir." in httpd.conf

It's also disabled in php.ini

Some more logs:

Did you check for a .htaccess with open_basedir in it?

[Sharingan_Okami]

Hi, yes there is no .htaccess on the doc root

[kh99]

Do you have a phpinfo.php you can look at? If you don't, you can make one, it's just this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>


in a file named phpnfo.php (or I guess whatever you want to call it), then put that in public_html and point your browser at it. I'm not an expert on all the info in there, but it might tell you something if you search it for open_basedir, and maybe look at what php.ini it's loading.

I solved this problem, it was a .htaccess error. Thanks for all the help though guys!
