  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    goto settings in the plesk panel and then click on php settings

    then change "open_basedir" to "none".

    thats it worked well for me.


  2. This error means that the PHP script is trying to access a folder for
    which access is not allowed. For security reasons, PHP options for
    domains hosted in Parallels Plesk Panel (Plesk) allow access to the
    /tmp and http(s)docs folders only by default. Restrictions are limited
    by the open_basedir PHP variable for each virtual host separately.

    From what I can see you’ve got your WordPress files installed outside of your hosting web root folder.

    Your hosting is as follows: D:inetpubvhostsmaxires.com

    You will have a folder within D:inetpubvhostsmaxires.com called httpdocs (D:inetpubvhostsmaxires.comhttpdocs).

    You need to have all of your WordPress files kept within httpdocs for PHP to be able to read the files.

    It is much easier to use the Plesk “one-click installer” (“applications”?) so that your server instsalls WordPress to the right location. This is guaranteed to work as the hosting company have configured Plesk to be able to install WordPress – not you – so they’ll be responsible if it’s problematic.
