ERROR/Install fix for Godaddy users

Post by Golden »

I'll try to keep it short and sweet:
To fix the ERROR message :D
1. Login to Godaddy
2. Go to your hosting account ftp server (Control Panel) or thru (My Network Places)
3. Download the (php.ini) file, to your harddrive.
4. Open with Notepad text editor.
5. The second option: (allow_url_fopen = off) needs to be turned on. (change the off to ON)
6. Click the X to close the window. Click Yes, to replace existing php.ini( :!: Do NOT do Save As...this will change the .ini to a .txt, which is BAD :twisted:)
7. Upload the new php.ini file back to your ftp server in the same spot it was.
8. Quit pulling your hair out.
9. Linkman will work now, test it, as long as you have installed everything else correctly.

PS: Keep in mind, with Godaddy, you probably have to upload Linkman files to the "php_uploads" folder for this script to work.
PSS: Awesome script! Thank you PHPJunkYard.com

One way of doing it is to use a FTP program

Everything works except for a file access error.

My site is currently hosted at goDaddy.com. I keep getting this "Couldn't open links file for appending! Please CHMOD all txt files to 666 (rw-rw-rw)!" error.

When i tried to set permission using filezilla, it mention that "/link/linkinfo.txt': command not understood"
I use goDaddy directory management to create a folder with Read
Web, Browse, Write, Set Root permission but the program returns the same eror too.

I'm trying very hard to get this link function to work but to no avail. Really need help from anyone who has experience this problem using the link program with goDaddy hosting. I'm using their economy plan.

For testing purpose.
My link site: http://www.perfectmobiletones.com/link/form.html
Website URL: http://www.perfectmobiletones.com
URL with reciprocal link: http://www.perfectmobiletones.com

http://www.perfectmobiletones.com/phpinfo.php

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well since you're on Windows CHMOD won't work, you need to make sure your scipt has WRITE permission for the linkinfo.txt file. I'm not sure how to do that on Windows, you might need to ask your host to set the correct permission for you
