 * I’m still getting this error no matter what I try or do:
 * “PHP message: PHP Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect.”
 * I tried figuring it out with my WebHost Kinsta and even after they added the .
   aws directory to the open_basedir the issue still persists.
   Please, I need to
   get this fixed!
 * Thank you
