ERROR Can't open remote URL!

[milesa]

Thanks Klemen, but I am decide to don't lose my time and to find other server (it's free ).
Your script work perfect on my paid server

Thx for your FREE scripts!!!

Again me... I tested many hostings but it's same. I find host with php support, but again with same error! (script is here http://www.bighealth.byethost8.com/heal ... links1.php ).

I don't wont to disturb you, so this is why I posted last message

[Klemen]

Yes, that's usually the problem with Free hosts - they offer "PHP support" but disable half of the most usable functions for "security reasons". I think that is the case here too - your host has probably disabled some functions needed to read remote websites from scripts. You can upload this file and post the link here to confirm it:

GoDaddy Hosting:
The php settings by default have "Allow url fopen=off"
but you will find a php.ini file in your root directory that you can modify to set fopen to "on".

Simply modify the PHP.INI GoDaddy supplies in your root directory to change the fopen settings.

Details:

It's not the actual php.ini - it's just 1 line that allows you to change the 2 most common parameters.

Download PHP.INI from your root folder
Open php.ini in a text editor

Change: "allow_url_fopen = off"
to: "allow_url_fopen = on"

Save the file
Upload the modified file back to your website root (original location).

And your done - the script should now work, provided you've done all the other requirements.

Works very nicely - thanks for the scipt and I hope this helps the GoDaddy Users .

Thanks for sharing, I never used GoDaddyfor hosting so I didn't know each hosting account has a php.ini file in the root

Hi,

I had no problems adding a test link to your site. Are you sure you get this EXACT error: Can't open remote URL!

If yes check:
- the website URLs are valid in the form
- the website is available (server not down)

Regards,

[birkenstam]

[birkenstam]

ok i can see your test.

i have tried about 10 times now.

i will appreciate if somebody else in the forum tried too.

Warm regards anders

[Klemen]

Can you tell EXACTLY what error are you given and what URL are you trying to submit but doesn't work?

[birkenstam]

ok it works.

i have figure out why it dident work for me. when i wanted to try the script, i made up an url so it could not find it.
that is the reason why i got ERROR Can't open remote URL!.

so guys if you are going to try the script you acctully need an url that exist.

Fantastic script Klemen.

and appreciate alot the time you have taking for me.

warm regards anders

[birkenstam]

is it possible to change the link.php to another name?

and if how?
