/home/myusername/mysite.com/ossndata/
/home/myusername/ossndata/
/home/web/mysite.com/ossndata/
/home/web/ossndata/
/home/ossndata/
/home/mysite.com/ossndata/
/myusername/web/mysite.com/ossndata/
/myusername/mysite.com/ossndata/
/myusername/web/ossndata/
/myusername/ossndata/
/web/mysite.com/ossndata/
/web/ossndata/

in any case, the script returns an error: "Invalid data directory or directory is not writeable."
Anybody know, what path is correct for this super-usable setup?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your feedback, Fox.
In case you're not planning to share your server with other sites, I recommend to remove the openbasedir restriction completely, because it has a negative impact on the php performance in general.

Hi Arsalan Shah!
Thanks for your advice, it really helps. So, for all Vesta Users: You need to check file
/home/youruser/conf/web/yoursite.com.apache2.conf. In this file, check the string
phpadminvalue openbasedir /home/youruser/web/yoursite.com/publichtml:/home/your_user/tmp
Substring after ":" will be your writable data directory (in my case it is "/home/admin/tmp"). I think to create a subdirectory will be a good idea, but I didn't check it.
Also sorry for my English. It, not my native language.
Thanks and regards,
Fox

Make sense now because in vestacp you can not use data folder outside public html due to their openbase_dir restriction, you may remove that restriction by searching their community or asking them directly.
