    I’m unable to upload any images to the media library. It keeps telling me there was Error saving media attachment.

    This a a brand-new install (last weekend). It is installed in a subfolder in the current live site. The current live site is simple html, with no database other than the MySQL that I created for the WordPress install. Everything else seems to be working fine.

    Update – I switched to the flash uploader and it gave me some more information:

    Unable to create directory D:\webspace\millsysadmin\nightofspadmin\nightofspectacles.org\www\newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Well, I figured out I needed to set the permissions on my server to accept the uploads, which worked, sort of. The files are being uploaded, but I’m still getting this error message.

    Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\php\uploadtemp\php3D3.tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (d:\webspace\millsysadmin\nightofspadmin\nightofspectacles.org) in D:\webspace\millsysadmin\nightofspadmin\nightofspectacles.org\www\newsite\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2402

    I’m not sure it matters, as the uploading and linking is working. However, I just don’t like loose ends that might come back to bite me. Any idea what’s going on?
