Birger,

It's not a CK Forms specific issue. Try these:

1. Was Joomla working properly before you installed the extension? Check the configuration of Joomla to make sure the paths are correct.

2. The open_basedir warning is due to the configuration of your hosting. You can set the open_basedir parameter in your php.ini, httpd.conf or .htaccess file. If you don't have access to those files I suggest you contact your hosting provider and inform them of the warning message.


Regards,
Allan.

Hi,

I found why you have this message (It’s a warning and not an error).
Because your provider (or you) changed a PHP parameters (“open_basedir”);

To the value of this parameters, go in your joomla administration site et and open the screen help > information > php settings and now you can see the value of “open_basedir”;

If the value is different of “none”, every time your joomla use a PHP File function (like fopen ou gzopen) and the path or file doesn’t exist or with restriction you receive a warning.

To avoid this message :

- Change the PHP settings to set open_basedir to none;
- Or change “/” with an existing “path” (you can create a TMP folder)
- Or wait the next release of CKForms (I’ll do something to bypass this message).

I fixed some bugs in the new release. Try it to see if the problem exists again.
Don't forget to backup your CKForms data (see manual) before uninstall the previous release.
