• Hi everyone, ok i have uploaded wordpress many times with no problems, but im now trying to upload to a new server which i have not used before and wp is giving me these messages when i get to the sutup-config page:

    Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../../wp-config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs:/tmp) in /vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs/wp-admin/setup-config.php on line 25

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs/wp-admin/setup-config.php:25) in /vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs/wp-admin/setup-config.php on line 34

    I have contacted my host support and this was their response:
    All files indeed need to be placed in the /httpdocs folder.
    The error message is pretty self explaining:

    File(/vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/wp-config.php) is not within the
    allowed path(s): (/vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs:/tmp)

    This means that for some reason the application ( wordpress ) thinks he
    needs to look into /vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/ while he should
    look into /vhosts/platteinttechnologies.nl/httpdocs

    You will need to check the code of wordpress for any configuration rule
    which implies this.

    If anyone could tell me what i need to do so i can get wp working properly, it would be great.
    Im really lost on why i get these messages and what i need to do to fix them?

    Thanks for any help..

  • You need to make sure all files are in the httpdocs folder.

    Hi there, i have uploaded all word press files into the httpdocs folder and those are the messages i get?

    Do i need to take all the files which are in the wordpress wp-admin folders ect and place them in with the other wp files in the httpdocs folder or leave them in their sub folders?

    As i said i have uploaded all the wp files into to httpdocs folder and still i get these messages..

    Would you be so kind and try to upload wp onto my server for me?

    Thanks again,..

    Hi,
    I’ll look at your file structure this aft. if you want. Click on my name and then the contact form for the blog. Send me your ftp log in details. It would be about 2 p.m. cdst when I got to it.

    Hi There samboll, thanks for the reply and sorry i have not replyed sooner..
    This problem seems to be with wp sites that are on a plesk based server, as i have just had the same problem with uploading another wp blog to a different plesk based server..

    the new site is up loaded but when i try to click on a post url it goes to a 404 error page.. and if i try to update a plugin from within the wp admin i get a list of errors like before..

    Does the offer still stand, with regards to looking at the file setup for me?
    If so i would really appricated your help and im sure it will help others if this is a general plesk server problem?

    Let me know..
    Thanks again..
