WordPress Error: open_basedir restriction in effect

 I was trying to upload photo on my WordPress blog and I got the following  error :

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect.File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):


Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):


Solution:

Go to  Settings "Miscellaneous" >Store uploads in this folder:

Change  "/wp-content/uploads" to "wp-content/uploads" 

I hope this will help you.
