==Document Root issue==
===$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']===
If you set up an application in an ibay you may have some odd results due to the usage of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] by the application.
By default this is set in php.ini to :
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html
This can cause lots of issues.
To test this, create a file called phpinfo.php in the root html folder of your ibay.
nano /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/html/phpinfo.php
Now add the following line :
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Save by ctrl+x And access it with a browser :
http://yourhost.myserver.com/mybay/phpinfo.php
Look for the Document Root setting.
===How to overcome $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] issues in ibays===
The simplest way to avoid this is to setup a subdomain and point it to the ibay.
For example
Your current host/domain : yourhost.myserver.com
In server-manager Add Domain :
Domain Name : test.myserver.com
i-bay : mybay
DNS Servers : resolve locally
Now you can access the mybay directory like this :
http://test.myserver.com
Try phpinfo.php
http://test.myserver.com/phpinfo.php
If you want external access then create a new A record with your DNS hosting pointing your IP address to test.myserver.com
