turning off allow_url_fopen (protector)

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?

Re: turning off allow_url_fopen

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.

Re: turning off allow_url_fopen

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 usehttp://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

Re: turning off allow_url_fopen (protector)

^^ 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.

Thanks
