After many installation issues and tons of help from Marcus, I finally have a Matrix install up and running. I was beginning to explore the admin interface an all was well, until I tried to create an asset.
The first thing I tried to do was create a design asset and upload my parsefile. As soon as I commit I get tons of errors, here is a tail of the error log:

Whew! so I thought this would be simple to fix, just adjust the directory permissions right? Well I tried everything, the entire MySource Directory is 777, I even tried changing owner:group to nobody:nobody, and nothing worked.
Any other ideas on things I can try? I'm kind of at a loss here. I'm on a shared server environment, but it's my server and I have full root acess. At this point I'd consider giving someone shell access to my install to look around, I just want this thing to work!
Thanks in advance!
It looks like a problem with open_basedir in place. Can you turn this off, even if it's just for this virtual host? You might also want to turn off Safe Mode, as this can cause other problems when going back to edit previously created files and folders.
That worked, I had to delete that asset and start a new one for some reason but I seem to be able to make assets now. Thanks for all of your help!
