Can not upload image for product.

I am on modx revo 2.6.3, with the latest minishop2 / xpdotools.

all installs OK, I have added a category CDs and then added a product cd1 to that category.

however when I try to upload an image cd1.png from my windows 10 machine to the server using the Gallery tab for the product I get a pop up message

"cd1.png: Could not read file"

and I find the following in the modx error log :

[2018-05-05 10:57:42] (ERROR @ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/minishop/html/core/components/minishop2/processors/mgr/gallery/upload.class.php : 187) PHP warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

What am I doing wrong ?

[SOLVED]

this error was due to the way that my server (SME Server) implements the open-basedir php directive:

making the correction to the configuration makes the problem disappear.
