open_basedir error message.

Hello. I need an explanation of this error message please. This is the entire result of my upload of a jpg to a blob and I get the open_basedir error on straight uploads also. Although they do get uploaded. On this one I started from scratch with some 5 star directions and still flunk out. :-< == Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory. in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/webpay.com/httpdocs/php/pic2blob/do_insert.php3 on line 10 Warning: fopen("/tmp/phpfbQ1wb","r") - Invalid argument in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/webpay.com/httpdocs/php/pic2blob/do_insert.php3 on line 10 Warning: Unable to find file identifier 0 in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/webpay.com/httpdocs/php/pic2blob/do_insert.php3 on line 10 Success! You have inserted the following into your database: tn_999.jpg, a 2937 byte file with a mime type of image/pjpeg. == Here is the offending line 10. $binary_junk = addslashes(fread(fopen($img1, "r"), filesize($img1))); Can someone tell me what's going on here. I don't seem to have a problem in fact, but there are enough messages that say I do. Thanks. Floyd --
