# Errors: Reading pages from D drive?

 * I’m unable to update my site. I can log in, but before I get to the dashboard
   or anything, I get a page with the erros below:
 * Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../wp-config.php) is
   not within the allowed path(s): (.) in D:\hshome\msadmich\msadventures.net\wp-
   admin\admin.php on line 5
 * Warning: main(../wp-config.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
   in D:\hshome\msadmich\msadventures.net\wp-admin\admin.php on line 5
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../wp-config.php’ (include_path
   =’.;c:\php4\pear’) in D:\hshome\msadmich\msadventures.net\wp-admin\admin.php 
   on line 5
 * I can’t figure out why the directory for the admin.php page seems to be part 
   of my D drive. The only changes I’ve recently made to my site were to add the
   smiologic plugin for google analytics, and then adding google analytics. After
   I managed to do that, I found these erros. I removed the google analytics javascript
   code from the header.php file of my theme, and removed the plugin, but it hasn’t
   removed the errors.
 * I know that part of the problem is that my site currently runs on a windows server,
   and I’ve had one or two problems before ith some plugins making it appear as 
   though things were being read from a D drive. Anyway, can someone help? I’ve 
   looked through MySql, I can’t figure out how to fix this.
 * Thanks.

 * if d:\hshome… is ACTUALLY your home machine’s path, you have something hard-coded
   somewhere pointing to it.
 * otherwise, it is the raw path to your data on your windows hosting server.
 * generally, it is from a file trying to do a relative include rather than a raw/
   absolute include. but I don’t think any core files should be doing relative includes,
   so color me confused.

 * Color me confused, too, I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol.
 * Except that I do know I didn’t hard code anything to read off of that D:\…thingy.
