 * I just activated the plugin and it shows me this error msg:
 * > `PHP Error Message
   > Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in 
   > effect. File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/robots.txt) is not within the allowed
   > path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/********/public_html/wp-content/
   > plugins/robots-meta/robots-meta.php on line 280`
 * And this one:
 * > `PHP Error Message
   > Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in 
   > effect. File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/.htaccess) is not within the allowed 
   > path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/********/public_html/wp-content/
   > plugins/robots-meta/robots-meta.php on line 300`
 * The plugin isn’t working for now.
