Avatar Upload / Linking errors

[Pt1994]

Ok so one of my members discovered an error while trying to change his avatar

this is the error he got while trying to link to a offsite avatar

Warning: tempnam() [function.tempnam]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xdcdorg:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in [path]/includes/class_upload.php on line 276

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Filename cannot be empty in [path]/includes/class_upload.php on line 282

And this is the error he got while trying to upload his avatar to our site

Warning: tempnam() [function.tempnam]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xdcdorg:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in [path]/includes/class_dm_userpic.php on line 204

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Filename cannot be empty in [path]/includes/class_image.php on line 333
