Hi

As an update...

I uninstalled everything and re-uploaded SS v3.1 beta3 and this time it installed ,
but I still have these errors at the top of the page and in the admin page.
The admin page shows the first, second and the site tree columns, but I cannot open anything , it just sits there.

Can anyone help please

Regards
Mike

Update

my host(34sp) chief engineer has looked at the errors, also this forum and has cured the problem.

His reply is as follows.....

the errors seem to be a check for the root directory in the framework files.
As per suggestions from another user on the Silverstripe forum, I have surpassed the warnings using @ for the directory checks.

Is this a bug in v3.1 ?

Mike

EDIT: Oh sorry totally missed the capital SOLVED in the title, will leave this here in case someone else has a similar issue.

This doesn't look like a bug in SS, looks to be an issue with the shared hosts php configuration
(before I go on, they look to be warnings rather than fatal errors, have you tried proceeding ignoring the errors?)

Looks to be a miss configuration with the open_basedir setting http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir

See the second to last comment on this page, someone having trouble/success with the setting http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

On my dev machine this setting isn't set at all and the installer works without issue.

open_basedir	no value

Maybe try finding out what your host has this configured too and I can try replicate....
