basedir (base directory) is an apache permission feature that is set on your server to restrict so that other users on teh server cannot access your account files

What may be happening is that you are trying to install Zencart with teh wrong user permissions. This easily happens if using FTP or access details that are not in sync with your basedir.

Or if you are using shell access, e.g. on a VPS, then you have logged into the shell session using the server root account details and not the login details of the account you created for that domain.

What you need to do is to try logging into teh shell, FTP program or whatever else you are using, with the account details created for that domain, i.e. username and password.

Atleast that will have eliminated one problem. Then see what the message output is.

Have you installed by running yoursite.com/zc_install/index.php yet?

The error messages you mention suggest that your configure.php files contain incomplete data.

Either that or your server's PHP setting for "include_path" doesn't contain a '.' reference and thus is treating everything as literal paths instead of relative to the current working directory. You might be able to override this with a custom php.ini file.

Which PHP version are you using?

In most cases you should be safe to proceed and ignore those warnings.
If you encounter errors later, these warnings may be an indicator about "why".

thank you DrByte..

That warning appears because of the restrictions brought in by basedir. Your server uses a directory named "tmp" which means temporary, to store things like php sessions. This folder can be shared by all accounts on the server.

Because basedir is in force, it shows you that message, that there are restrictions to accessing that file that is outside your account. But since you are not executing scripts in the “tmp” folder, this is normally not a problem.

As DrByte said, it should work fine, but if you develop a problem, contact your host so that a php.ini file that has settings for your environment can be copied to your account area. Then create a "tmp" folder within your account and set the path in the php.ini to point to this "tmp" folder instead of the default "tmp" file path. That should solve any problem.

But for now, as long as your site is running well, you can ignore this.
