I am using joomla and SMF with Orstios bridge. Everything has been fine. I have not changed anything and all of a sudden today I have this problem
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/QueryString.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/rpmmagazine.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/rpmmagazine.co.uk/httpdocs/rpm/forum/SSI.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/QueryString.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/rpmmagazine.co.uk/httpdocs/rpm/forum/SSI.php on line 57

Have you installed any components or modules in Joomla lately?
Nothing
It was working fine today... I went to work... came home and it just doesn't work and I have no idea why??
Paul
Check the file Settings.php in your forum directory. Make sure there is a definition for the $sourcedir variable.
okay... I also asked the support on my web server and they said very simply

Very convenient of them! So I have asked exactly what went wrong and why it went wrong so when i find out i will post it here but otherwise its all working again??
Paul
They have now said
QuoteDear Ricky ,
We found that Setting.php file under /rpm/forum folder was renamed to Setting.php_back , this file was causing problem which we have renamed again to Setting.php ,
Feel free to contact us back.

Could anyone tell me why this would just happen on its own?? I didnt do this so how would this happen. I have also asked my support the same question... So again I will post that here...
My very uneducated guess is that they changed the open_basedir setting in php, then changed it again.
