You mean value "default" eh?

Anyway. I have no longer hope to get a solution that works. I did a workaround to get this to work. Plesk open_basedir = "default".

# installed Joomla 2.5.4 on my httpdocs (plesk document root).
# I did on my document root for installation and patches.
# installed com_multisites_V1.2.84.zip
# on my document root again.
# tried to install patches doesn't work. (same error as seen in my topic post)
# created a new folder named joomla
# moved all from "../httpdocs" to "../httpdocs/joomla"
# opened the url "www.mydomain.net/joomla/administrator"
# tried to install patches. In this case it worked.
# moved all from "../httpdocs/joomla" back to "../httpdocs"

With Joomla 1.5.x it is not necessary to install the patches in a joomla environment placed in a subfolder.

Concerning the update of the "httpd.conf", becarefull that this file is updated by Plesk and therefore any update that you would do manually will be lost each time that you manage the website from the plesk admin.

The update of Plesk configuration can be performed according the appendix II help procedure described in plesk.
They explain how to create a specific vhost.conf

I suggest that you report the problem to your hosting provider and ask him to help in the configuration of Plesk.

No I mean "none"!! Default is somthing with rootdir and temp folder.

I have only "default" and "{DOCROOT}/:/tmp/"

There should be the possibility to enter a custom value. You have to select the radiobutton and enter the value "none" if this possiblity is not there it is blockt for this Plesk user then you have to askt your reseller or Plesk admin to set this.
