fopen(/tmp/pvbx-etc failed to open stream: Operation not permitted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, Ubuntu 10.4, followed a number of guides and installed phpvirtualbox 
however after logging in the site appears to load, some frames are started to 
be rendered then it fails with the following errors:

fopen(/tmp/pvbx-4e2d4254205e7983f9e52bc4008e83ae-346fdd64d140c90dcc018f7ec9f4660
d.dat): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted

What version of phpVirtualBox, VirtualBox, and PHP are you using? On what
operating system?

It looks like php/apache can't open cache files it places in /tmp because of 
some permissions. Either filesystem permissions or the PHP setting 
open_basedir. It's most likely the php setting. What do you see when you run 
the following as root:

find /etc -type f | xargs grep open_basedir

?

find /etc -type f | xargs grep open_basedir
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini:; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the 
defined directory
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini:;open_basedir =
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to 
the defined directory
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:;open_basedir =

Sorry for the delay. What are the permissions on /tmp?
