I had everything fixed and working fine!

Then today i went to index.php using the "home" link from admin.php and it gave me this error

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/kevinoz.com/httpdocs/mainfile.php on line 75

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'db/db.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/kevinoz.com/httpdocs/mainfile.php on line 75

The I tried to go back to admin.php and it had the same thing!

Please help me!

Thanks

Assuming that you haven't changed anything, this would indiciate that your 'host' has modified and misconfigured your php configuration file. Contact them and have them verify their
open_basedir and/or include_path settings.

I had my host take a look at it and they said

I've taken a crack at it but i can't figure out the problem. If you didn't change anything with the actual database settings, or change any of the PHPNuke code it should all work.

If you simply changed your modules and blocks in admin.php and then received this error, this is definately a PHPNuke issue that they need to resolve.

Thanks

Wrong. Nuke is not the issue; that is a major copout. Unless, like I said, you made a change and are trying to reference a file that is not in your 'restricted' safe mode place. 99.9% of the time when a user receives this error, whether using nuke or not, it is a host setup error. They do not have their include_path setup correctly.
