# setting open_basedir causes invalid path

 * Environment: Plesk
 * The warning message below does not appear when open_basedir is set to **“none”**,
   however when it is set to **{DOCROOT}{\}{;}{TMP}{\}** it shows the warning. Please
   note that Drive D:\ appears to repeat in the file path in question. It seems 
   odd that the root drive would be appended after the /plugins folder and that 
   it is referring to a non-existent path.
 * Any comment/feedback would be appreciated.

   path(s): (D:\sites\somedomain.com\httpdocs\;C:\Windows\Temp\) in D:\sites\somedomain.

 * Howdy Jmortell,
 * I would love to help you with this. It seems there is a bug in our library that
   is causing that duplicate path issue. I am talking to the devs about getting 
   a patch included in an upcoming version.
 * Until then I believe [this miniature plugin](https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2016/06/tribe-common-text-domain-fix.zip)
   fixes it, it does for me at least. If you install and activate it the errors 
   should go away. Did that work for you?
 * Cheers!
    – Brook

 * Hi!
 * We are having the same issues, 5 warnings in total from event tickets, events
   calendar and tribe common.
 * The mini plugin fixed it, but it would be nice to get permanent solution.
 * error log (before plugin):
 *     ```
