What plugin are you trying to delete?
What operating system and web-server are you using?
Are you using WordPress 2.6.2?
I try to delete this bloody “hello dolly”. But I can’t automatically upgrade the plugins either, which is even worse. Yes it’s WordPress 2.6.2. latest Version. I’ not sure about the OS, it’s a simple Webspace at HostEurope
Can you delete the hello.php in wp-contents/plugins folder. Use FileZilla (or other FTP client) if you host doesn’t provide a ‘file manager’ application.
Hi, i get a very similar error. Also after upgrading to WP 2.6.2
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp//1224597172) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/) in /home/weightlo/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1559

Ideas on how to solve this are welcome.
I guess it´s something related to temp path but i´m not that good on this.
Thanks in advance.
I had the same error today with hosteurope on a fresh install of wordpress Ver.2.6.2. The issue seems to depend on their setup of the user’s temporary directory system AND maybe the username:password used when updating/deleting plugins – I’m not sure yet and have to analyze errorlogs…
I got this when trying to upgrade a plugin in WordPress 2.6.5. My installation is on Windows Server 2003 and in my case resetting file access did the trick – Internet Guest Account was set to deny write, I changed to allow for all files and subdirectories.
Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere how file access settings should be so I found this out using trail & error…
same here, i already change all permission to 777 but still i can;t delete the plugins file via file manager or via wp_admin
