i know this has been discussed in other topics but it's not clear to me

1) What is the basic method of doing this (if the host isn't a problem)
2) What should i ask my host if that is necessary
3) Is this really important?

Oh and "check if protector works well": both links show the site, does that mean it doesn't work?

I installed MediaWiki and in the install they pointed out I should have the have the allow fopen turned off. I asked my server about it and they simply turned it off for me. Apparently that is a function only they can do from the server level. After my request, (not because of it), they turned off that function for all the sites they were serving. As a Security measure.

I don't know about protector.

This is more a php question but I will answer it for you

Partly cause I am a nice man...

This is the function you have to use http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

What you will have to do is alter main.php so it has the following command:

 ini_set('allow_url_fopen',TRUE); # Will enable it 
ini_set('allow_url_fopen',FALSE); # Will disable it

^^ which main.php? there's a lot of directories that have one, i added the line (ini_set('allow_url_fopen',FALSE);) in the protector directory but that doesn't seem to work
or do you mean mainfile.php?

Yes that is right!! mainfile.php just put it at the top after
Some hosting providers stop you from being able to use ini_set also turn off (FALSE) url opening.
