After uploading mp3 files (via ftp) in image-folders I get the following error message at the mp3-file-name:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: tempnam(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/usr/local/share/pear:/home/villiger-meier:/var/webs/www.villiger-meier.ch/public_html)

Filename: /imagevue/include/getid3/getid3.lib.php

Line Number: 1158

whats this and how can I avoid this error?

ok - not problem I upload with admin instead - I thought. When doing this I get the same error...

Thank you very much pain for the help! The hosting provider told me that it's not possbile fro them to disable open base dir but I should make a directory called tmp because php wants to open there. Or alternatively make a virtual directory.

Because I want to play different songs in different folders this solution doesn't sound good to me.

any other suggestions?

strange things are happening:

In one content folder '2005' the mp-3file is playing. interstingly it shows a thumbnail of an existing img-file...: the img-file is saved as 01.jpg, the mp3 as 01.mp3

in other folders 2006, 2007 or 2008 the mp3 files are not playing at all. Another strange thing: for those mp3 imagevue has created tn-files as well. When I delete those tn-files the mp3files show up in the playlist but are not playing. And strange again: this applies for the 2008 folder only but not for 2007 and 2006 although the procedure was the same for all folders...

pls see youself:

P.S.: In folder 2008 some tn-files are missung, I assume because of large file sizes...

and why are the mp3 playing in one folder and not out of the other?

what about the open_basedir - I mean the basedir is a directory where only hosting provider have access to, right?

well well, after removing the id3 tags and renaming the mp3's all works flawless!

I would be interested though to have an explanation why this behaviour can happen:

- no playing of mp3s
and open base dir error from php?

Or in other words: what are the requirements of an mp3 file in order to work?

Thanks for the explanations!
