Open_basedir error out of the blue

Question

I recently started getting errors in the control panel on a site that has not been touched in a while.

Message: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/hosting/webs/mysite/mysite.com/web/themes/) is not within the allowed path(s)

Filename: libraries/Core.php

Any idea what could have caused the issue?

Have you checked with the hosting company? They may have updated the server software recently and enabled open_basedir.

P.S. You shouldn't post your real server paths publicly, it's a security concern.

I'm having the client check with their hosting company. I've edited my post. Thanks!

It ended up just being a path issue. When they moved the install, they didn't update some of the paths to the new server path.
