 * I recently moved my WordPress to a new host from 1and1. It all comes up fine,
   but in the header, there is a error message that reads
 * > Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in 
   > effect. File(/homepages/46/d119326795/htdocs//wp-content/uploads) is not within
   > the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/home/fhlinux172/m/maxblog.co.uk/
   > user) in /home/fhlinux172/m/maxblog.co.uk/user/htdocs/site/wp-content/plugins/
   > podpress/podpress_class.php on line 160
 * What gets me is that **/homepages/46/d119326795/htdocs//wp-content/uploads** 
   is the path of my **old** host, and the one after is the new one. Is this stored
   somewhere? Do I need to change it?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Max Hawkins
