Making the store at webroot level

[idbeu]

Hey, I have a smallish question.

 

I have been trying to create the store at store.websiteaddress.com. I don't want store.websiteaddress.com/catalog/.

 

I dumped everything in the /catalog/ folder into the root directory, and put the admin folder inside root also. I set everything up that way when I configured it.

 

It seemed to work just fine, but when I tried to upload an image for one of my products, it gave me a 'cannot put image into folder... wrong directory, something something' error. My question is, is this a situation somone else has already solved, or is it simply not possible?

 

Thanks!

The specific error I recieve is:

 

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/.newman/jbeck/store.jamesbeck.com/catalog/admin/ includes/functions/general.php on line 783

 

Although I noticed that this happens in any configuration I use. Hmm. Perhaps it's something else.... my browser (Opera 6.04)? Any ideas how I can get rid of this error?

Did you change your configuration.php to:
