[wp-hackers] Running WP with open_basedir restrictions

Hi all,


Anyone have any suggestions for running WP on a host with PHP open_basedir restrictions such that files in a parent folder cannot be included with require_once or include?

I want to avoid hacking WP too much so I don't have to do a major recode each time a new version is released.

The installer doesn't even work because it includes wp-config.php from the parent directory.

I'm thinking I might try and move the wp-admin folder contents into the parent folder (the WP "root"), at least for the install, then see what happens...


Evan.
