We host 123shots-dot-com with you. We are not able to copy image files to a subdir under our home dir.
The open_basedir setting in php.ini file seems to have the following value
open_basedir /home2/snaps/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp no value
It allows /home2/snaps. But our home dir is /home/snaps.
This has changed overnight...
