# WordPress on XAMPP – Apache gets plugin paths wrong

 * I’m working on a project where WordPress needs to be installed on a Windows box
   🙁
 * It’s the first time that I’m getting an error like this:
 *     ```
       Warning: is_readable() [function.is-readable]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
       File(D:\xampp\apache\htdocs/wp-content/plugins/D:\xampp\apache\htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer/wordpress-importer-en_US.mo)
       is not within the allowed path(s): (D:\xampp\apache\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\;D:\xampp\apache\htdocs;
       D:\xampp\tmp;d:\xampp\php;D:\xampp\phpmyadmin) in D:\xampp\apache\htdocs\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 334
       ```
   
 * Apache got the path for the plugin wrong (the bold part). Is there any way I 
   can fix this?
 * I’m running **multisite network** on WP 3.2 development version (32-beta1-17999).

 * I just did a test using the stable WP3.1.2 on the same server and got the same
   result. However the warnings only appear when I converted it to a multisite network.
   Could it be a multisite issue?
 * I will re-post this in the multisite forum, please delete this thread.
