Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(D:\inetpub\vhosts\maxires.com/wp-config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (d:/inetpub/vhosts//maxires.com\;C:\Windows\Temp) in D:\inetpub\vhosts\maxires.com\httpdocs\wp-load.php on line 31

Answer 1

This error means that the PHP script is trying to access a folder for which access is not allowed. For security reasons, PHP options for domains hosted in Parallels Plesk Panel (Plesk) allow access to the /tmp and http(s)docs folders only by default. Restrictions are limited by the open_basedir PHP variable for each virtual host separately. Source: http://kb.sp.parallels.com/en/432

From what I can see you've got your WordPress files installed outside of your hosting web root folder.

Your hosting is as follows: D:\inetpub\vhosts\maxires.com\

You will have a folder within D:\inetpub\vhosts\maxires.com\ called httpdocs (D:\inetpub\vhosts\maxires.com\httpdocs).

You need to have all of your WordPress files kept within httpdocs for PHP to be able to read the files.

It is much easier to use the Plesk "one-click installer" ("applications"?) so that your server instsalls WordPress to the right location. This is guaranteed to work as the hosting company have configured Plesk to be able to install WordPress - not you - so they'll be responsible if it's problematic.

Answer 2

goto settings in the plesk panel and then click on php settings

then change "open_basedir" to "none".

thats it worked well for me.
