I discovered that if the server uses Plesk, you have to edit the
vhost.conf file for the domain. I edited the file, and added the
php_admin_value line that you can see here:

<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/monkeyclaus.org/httpdocs>
RewriteEngine On
AllowOverride All
php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/httpd/vhosts/monkeyclaus.org/:/usr/
share/pear"
</Directory>

However, I'm still getting open_basedir errors.
