Accessing Admin Error!!!

Hi all,
I have just installed Zen Cart on my site and i cant get into the admin area. I am using 34sp.com web hosting.

this is the error that i am getting when i try and access the admin through this link:
www.yorkshirepride.me.uk/zen_cart/admin/

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks Mav

Check the paths in your admin/includes/configure.php.

Make sure you have the name of your sub-directory in the paths where appropriate (/zen_cart/). If you're not sure, then post your admin/includes/configure.php file (without the password/username/database name).

This is admin/includes/configure.php
I have not changed anything

This is the standard dist-configure.php file that comes in the zencart zip file - it won't work as it is, it needs to be 'installed' so it has the settings and paths unique to your site.

When you say you installed the shop, did you run the installer in the /zc_install/ folder, or have you just uploaded all the files in the zencart zip to your site as they were?

I have unzipped the cart and uploaded to my site, i then installed it from

www.yorkshirepride.me.uk/zc_install

after installation i then renamed the zc_install folder

Try running the installer again.
