And if so, what is the default value.
Definitely easier (and correct) to change the php_admin_value in the server's configuration. The default value is whatever you want it to be. If you need php to be able to access files in /usr/share/pear then that should be the value [provided user 'www' has access to read that file/directory, which it looks like it does]. If one doesn't specify a php_admin_value for basedir, I'm not sure what the default will be assumed as. You could be correct with your guess that it might be /.

Not sure if its too "trivial" but I'm sure the fine folks on this list don't need to hear the speculatory details of what that value might be :>. We can just research/test it separately and report findings back to the list when done. Regards, Jay -- Jason D.
