 * hello.
    my problem is on my blog ([http://www.woweezowee.de](http://www.woweezowee.de))
   the links to the feed (+trackback) won’t work. Here are some installation details:–
   different directories – permalink structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * One example of the problem is this: at [http://www.woweezowee.de/feed](http://www.woweezowee.de/feed)
   I get the following message:
    Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction
   in effect. File(../wp-blog-header.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/
   htdocs/v153569/) in /www/htdocs/v153569/wordpress/wp-feed.php on line 5 (and 
   more, please take a look) Similar with trackbacks, problem: “wp-trackback.php
   on line 7”
 * But then again, [http://www.woweezowee.de/wordpress/wp-rss2.php](http://www.woweezowee.de/wordpress/wp-rss2.php)
   is working. And: Going back to normal permalink-structure makes /at least trackbacks
   and comment-feeds) it working. But as I don’t want the usual permalink-structure,
   what can I do?
 * thx for your help. Markus

 * Try putting /archives/ at the beginning of your permalink structure.

 * I had a temporary solution: Editing the wp-feed.php and wp-trachback.php like
   this:
 * change all lines with “require”
    from: require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); to: require(‘./
   wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
 * But that made my feed to not be recognized by german important ping-update service
   blogg.de for example. So I really look desperate to solve the real issue here.

 * I guess I solved it: Moved all wordpress-contents to the root directory.

 * That sucks. I have the same problem, but I really do not want to move to the 
   root dir. I know wordpress is free, but sheeesh at all the bugs…

 * Just do it. With a good FTP-Tool it is just 2 clicks and the files are moved.
   It may not be a nice look to see all the files in the root directory, but at 
   least that problem is solved.
