open_basedir effects?

[thoroughfare]

Hi,

What effect will turning on open_basedir have? Anything negative? Will http://servername.com/~user still work?

Thanks guys,
Matt :)

Well it would greatly depend on what you set it to :) There should be one in the templates that should work.

The ~username may or may not work, depending on the domain you're calling it from. If you have domain1.com with open_basedir, and then run domain2.com/~domain1user, you probably won't have permission, as it would be outside. If you go 1.2.3.4/~domain1user, then it would work since the domain virtualhosts don't have effect over the IPs (I think).
