    Hi, currently installing my blog on a new host as the old one is to slow and seems to becoming slower all the time :(

    Now i am exeriencing something i haven't seen before, might need some help with solving the problem. Not sure if i already figured it out but as i want a smooth transfer of the site i want to be sure it's the problem i think it is before i move it.

    I get a error when trying to access the blog from newhost.com/~USERNAME/ Saying "Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/USERNAME/public_html/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s):"

    It's a wordpress blog btw!

    Though got something that might be the issue, found a site explaining the basedir setting. It says as following:

    The open_base_dir setting is primarily used to prevent php scripts for a particular user from accessing files in another user's account. So usually, any files in your own account should be readable by your own scripts.

    That little text was taken from http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/kb/dynamic/open_basedir_re.html if you need to read more to help me out ;)

    Any reply's is appriciated!

    I dont think its related to your wordpress , i have never seen this error before .

    I think it's an error related to your server configuration .

    Contact your host , i'm sure they know how to solve this issue.

    Ah lol, it's not a big error. Acctually it was that basedir article that explained exactly what was wrong. You cant access most scripts from host.com/~username as you have to access it by yourrealdomain.com ;)

    Problem solved thread can be closed!
