Thread:Project:Support desk/Warning messages after installation/reply

Hei!

That one should be easy to fix. PHP has a setting called open_basedir. Basically it disallows PHP to access files, which are not inside a certain folder (or inside a list of certain folders).

In your case, the path for temporary files is C:\Windows\TEMP and MediaWiki has to access this path. However, this path is not one of the allowed paths for open_basedir, so that you get this error.

The solution is to modify php.ini and to add "C:\Windows\TEMP" so that the entry basically looks like this:

open_basedir = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot;c:\PHP\uploadtemp;C:\PHP\sessiondata;C:\Windows\TEMP"

You can check, which php.ini file to modify and if the new value has been set by checking the output of a script with the content:



After each change, restart the server and try again.
