Hi all, tried asking this in the Joomla forum but didn't get a response so I figured we should try here:

After spending eons pouring through the various threads about open_basedir errors, we've come up empty handed. Hopefully someone out there can help us figure this out!

My sister and I have been running a Mambo based site for a while now and just recently upgraded to Joomla. We've been having some problems installing components/modules, so we did a patch to the newly released Joomla 1.0.5 stable. Unfortunately, we are still unable to install components, etc. This is our error message:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/apocaly/public_html/nathan/media/com_joomlaXplorer_1[1].3.0.tar.gz) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/apocaly/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home2/apocaly/public_html/nathan/administrator/components/com_installer/admin.installer.php on line 175

Any ideas? We've checked our phpinfo and we are not set to safe mode. This problem may be plainly obvious and we're somehow missing it, but any info you can give us would be greatly appreciated!

ETA:
Looking at our PHP Info tab in Joomla, I see these entries for open_basedir:

LOCAL VALUE: /home/apocaly/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp
MASTER VALUE: no value

It appears your installer is in /home2/ attempting to deflate a tarball in /home/.

I think you need open_base to reflect /home2/ and would ask support for help.
