What does "open_basedir restriction in effect" error in Error Log mean?

When viewing gallery or document sections, following error appears on admin-page "Tools > Error Log":

"is_readable() [function.is-readable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../../../extensions/saurus4/smarty_plugins/compiler.sync_folder.php) is not within the allowed path(s):.. "

This error indicates that your web host has enabled the PHP open_base_dir setting on your server.

Solution:

Add your Saurus CMS installation folder to the allowed paths for this setting.

The open_base_dir setting is primarily used to prevent php scripts for a particular user from accessing files in another user's account. So usually, any files in your own account should be readable by your own scripts.
