Website Problems

~shellz~ · July 31st, 2007, 8:18 PM

My website is fully done in php and I'm having problems. Everything was working fine before I moved. Now on all my pages it displays :

Quote:

"Warning: main() [function.main]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration "

Here is a screenshot of one of my pages: http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/9849/problembg6.jpg

My header & footer extensions are correct, none of my file names changed. Is there a solution for this?

I believe it's because you are trying to include remote files, which has been disabled on the server probably because of security issues.

Instead of this:

PHP Code:


			
include "http://da-mania.net/header.php";

Try this:

PHP Code:


			
include "home/damania/public_html/header.php";

Or even just

PHP Code:


			
include "header.php";

It's still not working. For some reason, all our pages that are not in folders, are fine, but the ones in folders are the ones that are displaying that error message.

Perhaps the path to the files in your code is messed up?

What are the folder permissions? At the most they should be 755, if you have them set to 777 you will encounter problems....

That error happens because you are trying to include remote files. What that means is that you are linking to your header.php file via a URL rather than locally. Most servers that I have been on disable remote inclusion for security reasons. It's better for you to include locally, anyway, because it saves you on bandwidth.

I realised I'd left a "/" out of the php code in my previous post, it should have been:

PHP Code:


			
include "/home/damania/public_html/header.php";

If you used just header.php that I'd put at the end of my previous post, that would probably be why it's not working in sub-directories.
