Unable to write after Upgrade?

Hi guy's
I have forum software that allows me to upload files etc.
But i keep getting this error?

Directory does not exist!
Test failed. Either the directory was not found or cannot be written to by the web server.

Its one of them situations where 3 things were going on and its
difficult to figure if any are to blame?

1. Forum Software 95% sure its not that.
2. New Upgrade to 1.29.2 (Auto Update).

The File Test
I'm thinking that some permissions some how on the server may have
changed, as i have 4 forums with the same problem now.

The file test checks to see if a directory is writeable and exists.
I have the test running to a subdomain.
Where the test is fine with in its own domain name.

These domain are under the same re-seller account, only diffrent users.
As i needed a way to prevent control bandwidth without loosing the
functionality of my website / forums.

www.mydomain.co.uk
www.images.mydomain.co.uk

The file test worked until now? And until i changed the folder in its path
its now stopped working, even putting the old path now fails the test?

I have put this forward to my forum support,
but i can perform a file test provided its not on a subdomain.

Are there any tests i can do, to check the server is working as expected?

PHP SafeMode Configuration
Open BaseDir ON
Safe Mode OFF

Or Has the recent DA Upgrade somthing to do with it.


If anyone can advise please do, or explain where i could look for
more help, Log Files? Which Ones?
Questions please ask :)
 
Ive got it sorted now.
How i'm not sure..

I did add the following lines to the Httpd config

<Directory |DOCROOT|>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

I know that enables cgi to operate outside the cgi folder.
But more than that i dont know.

What i found strange, was that the OPEN BASE DIR
No matter what i changed it to ON or OFF always remaned in the httpd.config?
"php_admin_value open_basedir /home/mycom/:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/"
But isnt in the first domain that is working fine.

Not sure what was right or not as i'm a newbie at understanding
the workings of it all, its working now :)
Hopefully could help some one?
