    Hi, I changed my site URL from https://hfs.no/new to https://hfs.no, and now I can’t upload files using Contact Form 7.2.1.1. It gives the following error in the Settings area, after I save a form with a file upload control:

    Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/fgumsvvw:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/sqmail:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/fgumsvvw/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1942

    Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/fgumsvvw:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/sqmail:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/fgumsvvw/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1933

    Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/fgumsvvw:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/sqmail:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/fgumsvvw/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1942

    This contact form contains file uploading fields, but the temporary folder for the files (/wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads) does not exist or is not writable. You can create the folder or change its permission manually.

    /wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads does exist, and is writable. I’ve tried deleted the plugin and reinstalling from WP, but that doesn’t work, giving the same error, but for my /wp-content/uploads/2010/04 directory. I have to upload via FTP manually to get the plugin to Activate.

    Help please!

    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Sounds like you took some good, reasonable steps. Try this in Admin (which actually has nothing to do with Contact Form 7, my absolute favorite contact form):

    Settings… Miscellaneous

    Take a look at the two paths there. They might be borked. ?? On some hosts these settings have no problem when moving to a new folder, but I’ve run into some where this setting is a full path that didn’t change when moving to the other location, so any WP uploads will be messed up.

    If it’s not that, wow, not sure. Maybe some kind of cacheing issue or something in the guts of Contact Form 7?

    Dave, thanks so much. Path was set to /wp-content/uploads, not wp-content/uploads. I missed that!

    Thanks again.

    Andrew,
    Very cool, you’re welcome. When that happens, it can take awhile to come to light, because the site seems to look fine, until you start playing with some uploads.

    Cheers, Dave

    Woah, you really saved me a major headache! Cheers Dave!!

    Had the same problem, thanks for helping me out guys!
