It'll be because open_basedir is set. This is set for security reasons to prevent injection of malicious code on to your server via log files etc. It's very unlikely that your host will change this for you so I suggest you comment out line 16 as shown in my previous post. That line will only have an effect if the URL you are downloading from uses a page redirect, if it doesn't, then the line will do absolutely nothing anyway.
