I have no idea what this means. I do not have access to php.ini. I am getting a similar error.

Warning: opendir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/forums/images/link-icons/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/path/to/my/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /path/to/my/forums/local_links.php on line 2630
 
Warning: opendir(/pathtomy/forums/images/link-icons/): failed to open dir: Operation not permitted in /path/to/my/forums/local_links.php on line 2630
				The following setting(s) are invalid
file_icons_dir : //forums/images/link-icons/

I put my icons under the /forums/images/link-icons directory. I have tried moving the images to a wide variety of locations and get the same error.

HELP!!
