I am aware there is an error that pops up when trying to upload images in this forum.

Images:
Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/..) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/…../:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/…../public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/forum/uploader/sf-uploader.php on line 75

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/.) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/…../:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/…../public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/forum/uploader/sf-uploader.php on line 75

I've just upgraded from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 and the error message still remains.

Functionality still works, the directory is still listed and ability to upload pictures is still working.

This error has only been noticed since the 4+ hours outage occurring on July 13, 2008 as mentioned here.

I am also noting it has nothing to do with the change in permalinks to get rid of the “post-id” from the url for each post inside the forum. I tested with/without the change and the error still showed up. Since upgrading to the latest version of Simple:Press Forum the permalinks have reverted back to containing that extra “post-id/” path.

I'm noting that I am changing the sf-permalink.php on line 37 from

    if($postid)            $url.='/post-'.$postid.'/#p'.$postid;
to
    if($postid)            $url.='/#p'.$postid;

This has been fixed now. I just spoke to live support from webhost (3ix) online and had it all sorted.

My initial question was to enable php openbasedir function and return it to whatever it was a week ago. Then during the live chat, I copied and pasted the warning text, then I just remembered he could just come here and view the error I was talking about. I knew this forum would come in handy :)

Anyway, it turned out that he disabled openbase dir function, rather than enable it as I thought was required. I checked shortly after he said he disabled the function and everything was good again. I hope it doesn't affect other functionality for myself and/or others now!!!
