What was not tried is to read and interpret the error message that this call
prints (either in the browser or in the log file). It should be something
along the lines "open_basedir restriction in effect".

Wrong. Apache configuration files only come into play when HTTP is used
from PHP, such as with fopen_url wrappers, like require('http://localhost/')
– for whatever reason), but that is not the case here either.

Which PHP, as it is only executed in this case when Apache runs it, could
not care less about, except when it contains `php_*' directives or includes
files containing them:
<http://php.net/php_value>

Sometimes, what you learn is wrong. If those wrong ideas are close to the
root of the knowledge tree you build on a particular subject, pruning the
bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
