   I did the installation with the uoload-zip-method and it worked fine .. Then 
   I configured it with the new settings item but when I try to create a new post
   or page I get lots of PHP-Errors

 * I think it’s open_basedir because it’s configured well and it works fine with
   all other things I have on this server ..
    Maybe do I have to set a path for 
   a temporary directory in WP ??
 * Thnanks for helping !!

 * I can tell you what causes those error messages and how to get rid of them. But
   I can’t be sure of the wider consequences – so at your own risk.
 * In file post.php after installation of TinyMCE ((about line 1183) this causes
   that crash.
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists('realpath') )
       $path = trailingslashit( realpath($path) );
       ```
   
 * It seems to set the value of the $path to empty. I have just commented the line
   out (after making it a single line) so
 * `//if ( function_exists('realpath') ) $path = trailingslashit( realpath($path));`
 * The error messages no longer appear but I can’t be sure what problems it might
   generate elsewhere.
 * Regards

 * To resolve issue about php warning with realpath(), you have to test if a path
   exists before apply realpath() to it. So, for example, edit yourWPblogpath/wp-
   admin/includes/post.php, at line 1263 and substitute this
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists('realpath') )
         $path = trailingslashit( realpath($path) );
       ```
   
 * with
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists('realpath') )
         if (file_exists($path)) {
           $path = trailingslashit( realpath($path) );
         } else {
           $path = "";
         }
       ```
   
 * Obviously, this patch has to be applied on all others core files using realpath()
   function this way, i.e.
    `wp-admin/includes/class-ftp.php` `wp-admin/load-styles.
   php` `wp-admin/load-scripts.php`
 * This “bug” is due to the inclusion of the Hardened-PHP Project’s Suhosin Patch
   in many distributions of PHP (version > 5.2.3) by default (Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 
   for example).
    This patch replaces PHPs realpath function with the BSD implementation,
   which ignores the last path component.
 * The workaround is to use the file_exists function to verify that the file exists
   before using realpath to get its real path string.
 * Joomla! soffers of the same bug also and the patch was not included
    yet, even
   in the actual 1.5.15 version. Hope WordPress developer take care of this quickly.
