If you get an error similar to:
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
on 1and1, create a blank file called php.ini, and place the following line in the file.
allow_url_fopen = ON
then upload the file to the root folder of the domain, and it should solve the problem.
This works but the php.ini file should be placed in the same directory as the script trying to make the outbound call.
Thanks for the tip!
I want to confirm that the solution works when you put php.ini in the same directory as script trying to make outbound call.
Hi
I’m with 1and1 also. I run WP 3.2.1 on PHP5.
I added that line to a php.ini file in my root AND script folders, and still I get the error.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance
This solution works for me on my 1and1 sites. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks, this worked for me too, running WordPress 3.3.2 on 1&1 servers.
Brilliant.
Gracias! Funciona!
Thanks. It Works for me.
