Including Files From Root

[MrFish]

I am trying to include files outside of the include scope. Currently the sites on the server I'm working on are setup in these directories /var/www/vhosts/{site_name}/{available_include_area} I want to redirect all requests from /var/www/vhosts/{site_name}/httpdocs/admin/(request_uri} to /var/www/base_admin/{request_uri} I'm doing this by dropping an .htaccess file in each of the sites admin directory. I thought I could just change ownership to the apache user but I get this error:

/var/www/base_admin/index.php Warning: include(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/base_admin/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/{the_site}.com/:/tmp/) in

I've tried google and looking through my php.ini and httpd.conf files but couldn't find anything i thought would do the trick. Anyone know what I could use?Side note- I thought about creating Symlinks for each site but I don't want to have to do that for each. Would that work though?

You need to disable the open_basedir option in PHP if you want to do that.
