Error popping up outta nowhere

[NSXTC]

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?

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.
