Taking the warning at face value, it's saying that the pmwiki
software isn't in the path given by PHP's open_basedir configuration
variable.  In particular, open_basedir seems to be set to

   /srv/www/vhosts/celok.de/subdomains/rpg/httpdocs:/tmp

which means that PHP will only include files that appear in
the /srv/www/vhosts/celok.de/subdomains/rpg/httpdocs or /tmp directories.
Since /srv/www/vhosts/celok.de/httpdocs isn't a subdirectory of either
of those, PHP is denying the include.

I'd say to try changing the include_once() line to a path that
is in the basedir, or see if you can get the open_basedir restriction
changed or removed.
