Hello,

I have installed tiki cms (through softaculous) and received the relevant email with configuration / access settings. But I can't finalize the installation. Trying to access either /tiki or /tiki/tiki-admin.php i get a "tiki installer cannot proceed" message, followed by:

Code:
The directory '/tmp' does not exist or PHP is not allowed to access it (check open_basedir entry in php.ini).

Your options:   
1- With FTP access:     
a) Change the permissions (chmod) of the directories to 777.    
b) Create any missing directories    
c) [URL="http://freekingdoms.x10.mx/tiki/tiki-install.php"]Execute the Tiki installer again[/URL] 
(Once you have executed these commands, this message will disappear!)

I followed the instructions found here: http://www.bestdesigns.co.in/blog/tikiwiki-installation-error as well as changed permissions to 777 for the following folders (as per instructions on other sites):
backups, db, dump, files, img/wiki, img/wiki_up, img/trackers, maps, mods, modules/cache, styles, temp, templates, templates_c, tiki_tests/tests, whelp.

But still, no go.

Anyone care to pitch in on what I might be doing wrong?

contents of custom php.ini file:
Code:
[PHP]

session.save_path = /home/user_name/public_html/tmp;

I am guessing the problem is that safe mode is turned on, as my joomla states. Can you say 'false advertising'? Cause here http://x10hosting.com/free-php-hosting it says : "We support almost all functionality of PHP and do not limit you with hundreds of disabled functions or safe mode."

ps: I know, i could have edited my original post and added this tidbit of info, but thought to bump it since no one has taken a position yet as far as a fix goes
