Can't open URL

robbiez · Post by **robbiez** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 8:16 pm

Script URL: http://www.thepictureframingexperts.co. ... /link.html
Version of script: 1.7
Hosting company: 1and1
URL of phpinfo.php: http://www.thepictureframingexperts.co.uk/phpinfo.php
URL of session_test.php: http://www.thepictureframingexperts.co.uk/test.php
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: various and I have read many posts

Write your message below:

I am sorry for repeating other posts but I have read through every topic related to my problem.
In the admin panel I have a message saying users will not be able to submit a link as allow_remote_url is off.

Allow_remote_url is turned on - check the phpinfo.

I have also tried the simple script posted by Klemen that should display Googles homepage - this works as well and can be seen at the link above.

What am I missing??

Thanks

Does everything else work fine?
Not sure why that would be when it seems it is set to On ...

When you say it works fine - myself or people wishin to submit links are unable to as they receive a Can't Open URL message.
I have ensured correct URL are being used.

Thanks

Ah it sounded like you ment it only showed up in the admin thats why I mentioned what I did, not sure on that one as I see it is indeed on in your
info I will edit the other so as not to confuse anyone.

I hope Klem has some ideas and a good answer for you on that one.

How about if you copy the test page into the linkman folder - does it still work? It's possible you have a htaccess or something blocking allow_url_fopen locally.

I have put the test page in the linkman folder and now get an error:

I do have a htaccess file that contains various rewrite rules and "AddType x-mapp-php5 .php" but there is no reference to allow_url_fopen

Thanks

So LinkMan was right after all

You can either remove the htaccess or upload the phpinfo file in the linkman folder, see what php.ini gets called under "Loaded Configuration File" and enable allow_url_fopen in that php.ini file.

I wouldn't consider suggesting it was wrong in the first place!!

I have 'cured' the problem by placing a copy of the php.ini file in the linkman folder. I had put the phpinfo file in the linkman folder and that showed the all_url_fopen to be off.

I presume there are no issues with having duplicate php.ini file in different folder.

Thanks for your help
