Warning when installing YARPP plugin in Wordpress

[Rosko]

I'm installing YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Pluggin) in my Wordpress site and i get this warning:

Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/log/php.log) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/home/*************.com/:/usr/home/phpMyAdmin-plan6/:/usr/home/webstats/) in /usr/home/*************.com/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 199

I know it's something related with the path not accessible due to my host restrictions. I contact them and they say they cannot give me permissions. Is there another way to fix in the code or something and not get this warning?

Thanx for your help

If the open_basedir directive is set within your php.ini file and your host doesn't allow you to change that, then I'm not sure there's anything else you can do here. It's obvious that the plug-in won't work without having access to other files. I would definitely find out about changing this directive with your host, and if they don't allow it, I'd find a new host that gives you more freedom with your server settings.

No, my hosting doesn't allow the change. I thought the code might be slightly modified to avoid this warning.
