Settings from config-site.php ignored(?)

[larsen0815]

Hi,

according to https://www.mailpiler.org/using-the-gui/

You may override settings in config.php (usually in /var/piler/www) by putting
the site-specific variables to config-site.php (it’s in the ${sysconfdir}/piler
directory, by default it’s /usr/local/etc/piler).

However, when I set SITE_NAME in "/etc/piler/config-site.php" this is ignored. I have to change it in "/var/piler/www/config.php" to make it work (so that after logging in, I can see the configured URL).

Tried both variants (using ETC as a marker):

['SITE_NAME'] = 'pilerETC.example.local';
$config['SITE_NAME'] = 'pilerETC.example.local';

Ubuntu 24.04
piler 1.4.8 installed via DEB package

What might I be doing wrong?

Revert back config.php for testing, and set $config['SITE_NAME'] = 'pilerETC.example.local'; in /etc/piler/config-site.php.
What happens when you visit pilerETC.example.local, and try to login?

Found the culprit:
"NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/etc/piler/config-site.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/piler/www/:/tmp/) in /var/piler/www/config.php on line 388"

Fixed by adapting the PHP config:
php_value[open_basedir] = "/var/piler/www/:/tmp/:/etc/piler/:/var/piler/stat/:/proc/meminfo"
