# function errors when uploading images

 * Hello.
 * I have been trying to upload some new images to my site. Whether I attempt this
   from Pages, Posts or Media, I receive the same error message, included below.
 * Everything was working fine, until now. (haven’t you heard that one before!) 
   I’m not sure if this is a WP problem as I recently upgraded to 3.3.2 from 3.3.1.
   OR, perhaps its a server-side issue. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the
   error message.
 * Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
 * Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

 * I don’t understand Esmi, this topic describes exactly my problem, why is it closed
   without a resolution but marked resolved?
 * Did the person who started it close it and mark as resolved?

 * Hi,
 * Sorry, but yes I did resolve my own problem and didn’t post the solution as it
   was a server issue. I had recently had some server upgrades done by my hosting
   service. I didn’t realize at the time that they had changed my login. Therefore
   that affected some of my WP admin functions.
 * Specifically related to this issue, the fix was to go to Settings -> Media ->
   and update the Store Uploads in this Folder area with my new pathname.
 * Hope this helps!
