Hi,
I am encountering a problem with the Themes. I believe it might be due to the PHP settings, can anyone help me find a way to solve this problem?
PHPInfo:
hmu162144.chinaw3.com/phpinfo.php
Error message I got when even trying to install Joomla with PHP 5.3:Warning: session_start(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/data/home/hmu162144/:/usr/home/hmu162144/:/data/home/tmp/:/usr/home/tmp/:/var/www/disablesite/) in /data/home/hmu162144/htdocs/joomla/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 532 Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /data/home/hmu162144/htdocs/joomla/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 532

When I chose PHP5.2 in the web host cPanel configuration, I can install Rocket Launcher, and then after the installation I switched the site back to PHP5.3. But now another problem appeared, the site was a total mess (I am guessing maybe CSS/LESS files are not loading?) so I changed that permission settings for the whole site and now the website looks ok in nearly every browsers except IE!!! It seems like the CSS is still not loading in IE (I am using version 10). Let me show you the link:

I am wondering if all these problems are related to the following PHP settings I got from my web host?
open_basedir=/data/home/hmu162144/:/usr/home/hmu162144/:/data/home/tmp/:/usr/home/tmp/:/var/www/disablesite/
magic_quotes_gpc=on
or is there another cause for such issue? My head has been spinning for nearly a week now, can't seem to find the reason for all these, has anyone also encountered similar problem in the past and found a solution for it? Will be ever so grateful for your help!!! 
(p.s. Can I modify Joomla settings to cater for the open_basedir settings set by my Web Host just in case they won't disable that for me?)
