open_basedir problem

I have something very strange on one of my modx sites.

All of a sudden my site stops showing up and I get this message:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/tmp/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/admin/:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx.xx/public_html/manager/includes/config.inc.php on line 60

Fatal error: session_start() [<a href=’function.session-start’>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx.xx/public_html/manager/includes/config.inc.php on line 60

My other sites on the same server still run ok.

If you know a solution, thanks!

I have the same problem now as well with one of my sites. nothing was changed on the site. Any idea’s anyone?

Contact your hosting provider; they have broken session support in their PHP configuration.
