Hello all,

And when i try to install on php 8.3 i get Warning:
Warning: ZEND OPcache API is restricted by "restrict_api" configuration directive in /system/storage/vendor/twig/twig/scr/Cache/FilesystemCache.php

First issue is this one.
https://github.com/opencart/opencart/issues/14734
You will need to manually check or remove your open_basedir PHP setting and then remove the broken open_basedir check from install/controller/install/step_2.php.
The other issue is this one.
https://github.com/opencart/opencart/issues/11596
It looks like it won't be fixed, but there are some suggestions to work around it.

I still don’t understand it... Could you explain this in a bit more detail?
P.S. I’m using the hosting provider mijn.host and I have DirectAdmin access there.
Do I need to contact them for this, or can I adjust it somewhere myself? I don’t see any setting related to ‘open_basedir’.
Pff, looks like no OpenCart 4.x for me just yet.

No one here recommends OC4 for production sites - just for developers to test and assist in fixing the bugs
OC3.0.4.0 is stable, updated and supports php8
It is available on the official Opencart download page

As long as your open_basedir is set to one directory above where you are installing OpenCart, you just need to remove the following line.

That setting should work as it includes a directory above the install directory. If you do need to change it you will have to ask your host.

I’ve tried several things with my provider. I CANNOT get past this point.
What a crappy installation. Even the checkbox under Status says "passed." But it keeps showing this error:
Warning: open_basedir needs to allow access to /home/un119489/domains/<domain>.nl/
Please help

Yes, 4.x seems to be very buggy which is why a lot recomend using 3.0.4.0.
Did you try removing the following line frominstall/controller/install/step_2.php?
Code: Select all
$json['error'] = sprintf($this->language->get('error_open_basedir'), $required);

Hello Creative,
I just removed the line you described. That works!
Thank you!

Did that and we pass the installation process BUT now we have
Warning: realpath(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/..../webapps) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/..../webapps/.......:/var/lib/php/session:/tmp) in /home/..../webapps/....../admin/controller/common/security.php on line 58
at the top of the admin pages
If Opencart 4.x is difficult from the start what we should expect later ?
Thanks

You need to ask your host how to allow "/home/..../webapps" in the PHP open_basedir setting.
