Installation via FTP went smoothly but after renaming the install file all I now get is a tempnam() error:

Warning: tempnam() function.tempnam (http://doc.tikiwiki.org/function.tempnam): open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/iff:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/iff/public_html/wiki/lib/init/initlib.php on line 101

Possible Solution : I had the same issue and I solved using the hack
modifying the function tempdir() in file ./lib/init/initlib.php
from this :


/** Return system defined temporary directory.
* In Unix, this is usually /tmp
* In Windows, this is usually c:\windows\temp or c:\winnt\temp
* \static
*/
function tempdir() {
static $tempdir;

if (!$tempdir) {
$tempfile = tempnam(false,'');
$tempdir = dirname($tempfile);
@unlink($tempfile);
}
return $tempdir;
}

}

to this :


/** Return system defined temporary directory.
* In Unix, this is usually /tmp
* In Windows, this is usually c:\windows\temp or c:\winnt\temp
* \static
*/
function tempdir() {
static $tempdir;
$tempdir = '../tmp';
/* if (!$tempdir) {
$tempfile = tempnam(false,'');
$tempdir = dirname($tempfile);
@unlink($tempfile);
} */
return $tempdir;
}

}
