Sage looking for /vendor folder in site root, not theme root

We have uploaded a dev site to Kinsta and seeing this error on multiple installs.

is_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/mydomain/vendor/composer/installed.json) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/mydomain/public:/www/mydomain/mysqleditor:/www/mydomain/web:/www/mydomain/deploy:/www/mydomain/deployment:/www/mydomain/deployments:/usr/share:/tmp)

It seems that vendor is being looked at in the site root ie. the /public/ folder, rather than in the theme root.

Anyone experienced this before on Kinsta and if there is a way to set the /vendor/ location somewhere to point to the theme directory?

We’re tried adding a path in PHP.ini but had no effect,

Any help will be appreciated.

So if anyone needs the solution to this, you need to upgrade Acorn.

Or you can make the change in:

/vendor/roots/acorn/src/Roots/Acorn/Application.php

~line 269 (which the later versions of Acorn already include):

->filter(function ($path) use ($files) {
                    // return $files->isFile("{$path}/vendor/composer/installed.json")
                    //     && $files->isFile("{$path}/composer.json");
                    return @$files->isFile("{$path}/vendor/composer/installed.json")
                    && @$files->isFile("{$path}/composer.json");
                })

Hope this helps,

Phil

Let me just add a few keywords here for people having the same problem as I did.
Ultimately this thread pointed me in the right direction. THANKS!

This issue is relevant for me since I’m working on Kinsta and have a restricted open_basedir variable. And roots acorn seems to look for the installed.json config file in the wrong (restriced!) directory.

Which is causing the following error message in my logs:
FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: is_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/mywebsite_dir/vendor/composer/installed.json ) is not within the allowed path(s): (...
