Tiki Problems...install again?

posts: 24

I have a big problem. I just created a tiki site over the last two months and everything has been working great. Today I get the following error though when I try to visit the site:
The directory does not exist or PHP is not allowed to access it (check open_basedir entry in php.ini).
Your options:


1- With FTP access:
a) Change the permissions (chmod) of the directories to 777.
b) Create any missing directories
c) Execute the Tiki installer again (Once you have executed these commands, this message will disappear!)''

So I went into my FTP program and changed all of the directory permissions to 777. I think tried to execute the installer again, and I am still getting the same error message! Please help! What can I do?

What directory does not exist, according to the error message?

The directories that should be 777 are indicated during the install process. No other directories need that permission. If the directory being complained about is in fact writable, then maybe your server set up was changed by the server admins (just guessing about this part).

This is the message it gives me when I try to access my index page ( http://www.jmignited.com/tiki/tiki-index.php )....I tried changing all of the folders to 777 permissions, however some of the folders (i.e. whelp) change back to 775 automatically. According to the documentaries 775 should still be fine. Is there anything else I may be doing wrong?

The fact that the directory isn't named makes me suspect it isn't a CHMOD issue. I think your server configuration was changed, maybe an upgrade of some component or a setting changed, maybe involving open_basedir. Can you contact your server admin and check if the server was upgraded or had a configuration change that might be affecting your site?
