I recently installed bbPress onto my WP/BP site however I am constantly getting the following error when I visit the site (http://forum.cgstudent.co.uk);

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/bb-config-path.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/forum/:/tmp/) in /***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/forum/bb-load.php on line 141

Every error I’m getting seems to be linked to a complete absence of a file called bb-config-path.php. Where can I get this from or can I create one myself, and if I do create it myself what do I fill it with?

Probably your host is set in safe mode which is a very bad things. You should ask your host to deactivate it.

Thanks. I’ve checked my server myself and confirmed that php safe mode is indeed off. If you check my site (http://forum.cgstudent.co.uk) you can see the error at the top of the screen. Would I be better moving to something like phpBB and integrating that instead into my WP/BB site?

FIXED THE PROBLEM: I ran a more extensive search online and followed the resolution proposed by noepiyu (visit https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-problem-bb-config-pathphp). I deleted lines 141,142,143 of the bb-load.php file. Now the error seems resolved. Crossed fingers!
