Hi

If you are having issues using the Wordpress Plugin Auto Upgrader (versions 2.5 and later) and the issue appears to be with the /tmp folder..

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp//1233895433) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/domains/somedomain/:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/www/myfilemanager:/var/www/myinstaller:/usr/local/lib/php) in /var/www/domains/dangerousga.me/docs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1924
The solution for this is to add the following line to the wp-config.php file:

define ('WP_TEMP_DIR','/var/www/domains/domain_name/tmp/');

where domain_name is your domain name that is associated with the blog

Please be careful when auto-matically upgrading your plugins as well.
