php.ini change - allow_url_fopen Setting

The allow_url_fopen option is being set to "Off" in the default php.ini file. If necessary, a customer can change this back to "On" when needed. Instructions to change the setting back to "On":

Customers can edit and upload the php.ini file to the following location.

 

PHP 4 location:
cp /usr/local/php4/lib/php.ini ~/www

 

PHP 5 location:
cp /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini ~/www

Customers may override existing options of PHP by placing a copy of php.ini in their /www/ directory (shown above) that has those overrides. However, by overwriting the entire file they may lose functionality. Without a customer’s /www/php.ini file, our server will default to our version and location of php.ini on the server.
