 * Hi all, I’ve got this error message when I use the function “Add file from server”
 * Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
   File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/usr/
   lib/php:/tmp) in /home/a8916609/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/download-
   manager/wpdm-server-file-browser.php on line 6
 * Any idea ? Thanks a lot for helping me !
