 Hi,

 I already saw the 2 similar bugs that won't get fixed, but I believe that
 the code is still faulty. Have a look at the thrown message:
 "Warning at /srv/http/mythweb/classes/Modules.php, line 30:
 file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
 '''File(./modules/welcome.php/init.php)''' is not within the allowed
 path(s): (/srv/http)

 In fact, the file ./modules/welcome.php/init.php is nonexistent.
 Modules.php makes a list of files in the modules directory, assumes they
 are subdirectories and tries to load init.php in each of the directories.
 welcome.php isn't a directory, hence you shouldn't treat it as one.

 Here's a cheap fix:
 In includes/utils.php is a function called get_sorted_files. Replace

 if ($file == '.' || $file == '..') continue;
 with
 if ($file == '.' || $file == '..' || $file == 'welcome.php') continue;

 Probably there's someone that can do a lot better than this, but this did
 it for me.
