I had a similar case. Even though your apache config file at some point 
says "User base", are you really sure that the httpd process is running as 
base? (ps -ef | grep httpd)

If it's for example running as the user httpd or similar you could easily 
change BASE's configuration:

$config["username"] = "base|httpd";

to allow this user as well.
