> andi: can you refund our losses
> Customer Service: Andi! I understand how you might be feeling and sorry about the inconveniences caused in the past. I have already checked the settings but couldn't locate anything. I am also not aware about any recent software changes. The open base dir restriction is also nothing to do with this error

> andi: So how can we move those 2 remaining sites to the new server?
> andi: for one of the domains it should not be so difficult I guess as long as yu help us to safe the content and
> andi: for the account domain it is more difficult as we don't know where we can change the nameserver on our main domain so that this is using our new server
> andi: I am going now to the office whoch will give you about 30 Minutes time to solve the problem
