Re: "open_basedir restriction in effect" (new install)
“What’s the problem?” he asked.
Well, other than an internal server error, 503 error, and a page of error messages, including one that tells me to contact the host.cpanel administrator, not much is wrong…
And the basic “My Site, My Pithy Slogan” web page doesnot appear.
All this does not happen on my localhost installation.

How do you expect us to help, if you do not provide the information required to do so.

Hi Harry
503 error The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).
Maybe you should contact your host

503 is also the default ‘die’ error message that TXP gives.

Re: "open_basedir restriction in effect" (new install)
To Yiannis, msg. no. 13: I did put in a trouble ticket. Response is below.
To Gocom (msg 17) and others: Free web host means “you get what your pay for.” Just Google “free web host” and you’ll find more free hosting companies than you can shake a stick at.
Re message no 11: I put in a trouble ticket on the TXP-generated warning: “mysql_list_dbs, ini_alter, pfsockopen, openlog, syslog, symlink, link, chgrp, …”, and their response was essentially, “You get what you pay for.” What they actually said (translated from their broken English) was, “Our servers do not permit the actions required by your CMS. I don’t know of any free web host that does…”
So for this web site—for an impoverished service organization (supported by a church in Sri Lanka)—I’m just going to have to do it the old-fashioned way…in straight CSS/HTML.
BTW I’m doing for free (there’s that word again)!

Re: "open_basedir restriction in effect" (new install)
Read the FAQ. It’s very unlikely that the disabled functions are causing the problems you’re having.
BTW, we’re not getting paid for supporting you here (attempting to avoid the word ‘free’). We don’t mind. We like to help people. For free! (oops) … but you ignore the fact that the disabled functions are not the cause of the problem and do not provide enough information to diagnose the problem (things like a complete list of error messages and where exactly they appear. An URL that displays the problem would help).

Re: "open_basedir restriction in effect" (new install)
Well, folks, I found the solution and would like to share it. My thanks to my friend from the other side of the world, Mr. Andrei Dimitriev of Belarus (www.belcanex.com), who talked me through it.
The problem was with .htaccess. He gave me some different settings, and now everything seems to work. BTW he said this problem sometimes crops up with those cheap or no-charge web hosting outfits.
Here’s the text he gave me:
#quick custom error “document”..
ErrorDocument 404 /error_pages/404.php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0
=============
I tip my hat to all who spent so kindly helped me. Thank you so much!
