 * I noticed that several images don’t show its preview in the media list. And when
   I press “Edit”, I get this messatge at the right of the screen, under the button“
   Update”:
 * Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
   File(/home/distrito/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/cartell-indicador-
   df-urba-taronja.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/distritofallas.
   com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/distritofallas.com/httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/
   media.php on line 2750
 * Is it any bug of WordPress 4.0?
