-    PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
+Usually serious problem, can be a hardware issue, not all data written to disc
+for example. Check PostgreSQL log file and search PostgreSQL issues/mailing
+list for hints.

 
 

-You need to adjust the
-[open_basedir](https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir)
-setting in your PHP configuration (`php.ini` file). By default this setting may
-look like this:

-    open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/

-The Apache log may contain lots of PHP warnings like this:

-You should set the default time zone as instructed in the warning in
-your `php.ini` file. Find the entry about timezone and set it to
-something like this:
+Otherwise it's best to start the full setup from the beginning.

 
 

-    ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
-    ; https://php.net/date.timezone
-    date.timezone = 'America/Denver'

-You should use the extracts and updates from https://download.geofabrik.de.
-For the initial import, download the countries you need and merge them.
