Drupal 7.x

i'm getting this error message i can't seem to get rid off.

Whenever i try to upload a user picture i get an error that the pictures folder does not exist or is not writeable even though the folder is there.
I've tried multiple paths like "pictures", "files/pictures" and a full path from the public WWW map.

I checked the database in PHPMyAdmin for the correct paths in 'variables' and everything seems fine.
Folders are also writeable; 777.

The weird thing is; sometimes it displays this:

Warning: is_file() [function.is-file]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpaF5KcW) is not within the allowed path(s): (.) in image_get_info() (regel 127 van /home/tecumseh/WWW/includes/image.inc).
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpaF5KcW) is not within the allowed path(s): (.) in drupal_realpath() (regel 2179 van /home/tecumseh/WWW/includes/file.inc).

This line was added the .htaccess file that installs with Drupal 7.

I'm using Rules 7.x-2.0-alpha4. Certainly I can't expect this module to work perfectly at this stage but I've actually never used Rules before and I'm curious to learn more.

I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if this current version of Rules is not working. This is what I'm trying to do:

Event
- After saving new user account

Condition
- None (for now)

Actions
- Create a new entity (a piece of content)
- Send mail (to a specific address)

I need a module that works like a questionnaire moodle reputation

Hi,

I have been working on a development site on my laptop and am now in the process of transferring it to my desktop PC using the Backup and Migrate module.

I have an identical file structure on the desktop and have imported the database over to the desktop PC without any problems using the restore option. The site functions as it should, however as soon as I try and do anything in terms of administering the site i.e. modifiying the content, adding content, modifiying any kind of settings and click (for example) the "save settings" button, drupal responds by doing apsolutely nothing! There is not even an error message! It doesn’t crash, it just sits there as if I havent told it to do anything.

How can I embed language switcher to page.tpl.php?

I can put it to region with block control but that's not the way I like to go.
