It looks to me as if the setting of open_basedir on your server does not allow scripts to read/write files that are actually within your web site directories (which DOC_ROOT points to).

The message

web server DocRoot /servers/httpd/htdocs seems to point to a non-existent directory

actually means "I can't find out if the directory exists or not", and the reason is that your php.ini setting of open_basedir is forbidding this to happen.

If there is a good reason for excluding your web site from the open_basedir setting, you can still get LDM to work, but you have to make sure that uploads and and files that you provide to your community are stored in directories that are authorised by open_basedir. LDM will not be able to store thumbnails of images, because these have to be placed within the web site itself.

You achieve this using the LDM settings local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix. This is explained in the wiki, see url in the first post.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, you will need to speak to your site admin
