Error popping up outta nowhere
 

I havent done any modifications to my gallery on this site in quite sometime, but I started getting this error in the header:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/louisian/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/louisian/public_html/galleries/header-inc.php on line 57


Any clues on this one?

> what version of software you using it seems very old but open_basedir is a PHP restriction meaning you can only open files within your server path /home/louisian so you need to find out where your calling on a file outside that path. Line 57 of said file for me has nothing to do with a path so what is your line 57?

4.8.2 chuck.... i need to upgrade but i'm going to be upgrading vBulletin on the same site shortly so i'll wait... id like to fix this error though until then

As long as your server paths are both on the same domain path /home/lousian you will be fine. That error tells me that you have a path entered in your header include that is not from the same site which your host has locked down the ability to do.
