 * With the latest version (WP 3.2.1 / CCTM 0.9.4) activated, I get: `Warning: is_writable()[
   function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within
   the allowed path(s): (/nfs:/tmp:/usr/local:/etc/apache2/gs-bin) in /nfs/c04/h02/
   mnt/12345/domains/xyz.org/html/wp/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 133`
 * Deactivate it and site works as expected. Sorry, but site is in development so
   can’t post link.

 * Aha… the open_basedir is a PHP error that has to do with your server settings.
   The plugin attempts to create a directory where it can store definition files(
   and some other things are slated for future storage). I’d love to tinker with
   this on your server if you’re willing to provide me FTP access. If that’s not
   an option, my guess is that the following will fix the error:
 * 1. FTP to your site
    2. Navigate to your **wp-content/content/uploads** directory
   3. Create a directory named **cctm** 4. Go inside that directory, then create
   a sub-directory named **defs**
 * The plugin attempts to create those directories if they aren’t there, but it 
   looks like it’s failing. This might be representative of a permissions problem
   larger than the CCTM plugin. What are the permissions on your wp-content/content/
   uploads directory?

 * I have changed my upload directory in WP’s Media settings. Would that cause the
   problem?
 * The new directory is `/assets` and has permissions of 755.
 * There is also a vestigial `/wp-content/uploads` directory with permissions of
   755.
 * There is not a `/wp-content/content/uploads` directory though.
 * Where should I create the required `cctm/defs` directories and what should their
   permissions be?
 * Finally, the old version of your plugin didn’t exhibit this problem, and I do
   have others that also create directories that don’t seem to have this problem.
 * Thanks for all your help

 * Sorry, you’re right: it should be `/wp-content/uploads` — I mistyped. Yes, changing
   the uploads directory would cause problems — this should be a feature request
   to make CCTM read from the Media settings for where to store files. Version 0.9.3
   didn’t make as much use of that directory, so there was less possibility of a
   problem.
 * Could you file this as a bug in the bug tracker? Thanks!
