PHP Warning

I’ve been getting this warning when I open PhpMyAdmin and since it doesn’t affect anything, I haven’t bothered to fix it.

PHP Warning:  is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(js/codemirror/lib/codemirror.js) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/) in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/js/get_scripts.js.php on line 31

Today I had some time, so I looked at what might be causing it. By grepping on part of the error message,

/usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/

I found four files with that text, and more importantly, it was prefixed with
‘php_admin_value open_basedir’.
They were:

./apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
./apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf
./apache2/sites-available/wellgolly.com
./apache2/sites-enabled/wellgolly.com

I tried adding ‘/usr/share/javascript/’ to the first one and restarting Apache, but that did’t work. Then I added it to the sites-available file and the did the trick.
