 * Hi,

   the plugin i get this error message:
 * Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/wpau_helper.
   class.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs:/
   tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com//httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-
