   I think the key issue here is the "open_basedir restriction in effect".

   Back when I was young and smart, I knew what that meant. Now, it just raises a vague alarm of some sort... perhaps see if your host will disable it?

   Maybe something helpful in these related posts: http://wordpress.org/search/open_basedir?forums=1

   I see that -- have you actually that file and renamed it to wp-config.php ?

   open_basedir restriction in effect.. <-- that btw, is a reference to safe_mode in PHP.
