From your phpinfo file I see the "allow_url_fopen" is disabled. No script will be able to open URLs (check reciprocal links) with that setting set to off, try asking your hosting company to enable it. LinkMan needs this setting ON to work (it is on by default in PHP installation).

[sfera]

ok i have contacted them ill see what i can do.

aslo deos this script say it didnt find a recip after it counts a certain amount of characters? i submitted my url on a friends site and that is what it told me. not sure its a problem with me or them.

[Klemen]

Not sure what you mean?

allow_url_fopen is definitely disabled, you should have that enabled first, we'll work from there if the problem persists.

here is what my host said to me, I dont understand how to do what they are asking.

Unforutnately going over the intricate details of this setup is not
something I can help you with, as we do not provide official support
with
these things. I can, however, give you some quick pointers to the
right
info.

This requires downloading the php source from php.net, and compiling it
with the options you want, then utilizing an Apache .htaccess file you
redirect the scripts in the site or subdirectory to the correct php
interpreter.

Some of our customers have put some usefull info in our wiki regarding
php compiles here:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Cus ... pile_PHP_4

Also see the documentation on Apache.org here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/

Finally, the php documentation here:
http://www.php.net/docs.php

Let me know if you need anything else.

Are you on a shared host or do you rent your own dedicated server (and have root access)?

If you are on a shared ost thethe HOSTING COMPANY needs to enable allow_url_fopen, if you are on dedicated find file "php.ini" (in /etc/php/cgi), edit it with a plain text editor and activate the allow_url_fopen directive (just find allow_url_fopen within the file and read instructions above it).

i am on shared, if you look at the response above from me host this is what they said. am i able to drop a php.ini file in this directory or something?

[Klemen]

If u're on a shared host without root access you can't do a thing about it. Your host has to.

Same problem with my script, allow_url_fopen is ON!

Well I have successfully added Google to your LinkMan so it does work. The problem could be that you probably have a closing / in your URL in settings.php $settings['site_url'] variable.

Try changing

$settings['site_url']="http://www.astrel.co.uk/";

to

$settings['site_url']="http://www.astrel.co.uk";

Note that I have removed the last /
