Just transfered my installation to a new server. I’m having trouble debugging this, to my knowledge all permissions are still identical or MORE open than my old server on the folders that the server creates/reads files in…
From all I can tell, it’s just that a temp file can’t be created somewhere, but I have no idea where…

You’re dealing with a restriction called open_basedir as indicated by your error message. You either have to check the value in
php.ini(you can usephpinfo()to check this quickly) and put files in the directory indicated, modify the value, or simply disable it entirely. If you disable it, you’ll need to make sure to do sanity checks on filenames, such as using basename to remove potential "../../" traversal.
