Tell me the version of php that you are running and tell me the two values given for the variable allow_url_fopen (should be quite close to the top of the section labelled PHP Core.

If allow_url_fopen is off, then we have the immediate answer to your problem. You need to check with your ISP to get this reconfigured as "on" in php.ini.

Then, upload the attached (debug) version of local_links.php. Go into its admin page and revalidate. It will create a file debug.html in your main forum directory. I'd like a copy of that file (you can email it to ad_rodin@noos.fr)

Everyone else - please do not use this version of local_links - it is not intended for production use.

Okey dokey! Thanks so much for your help!

PHP version 2.3.4

allow_url_fopen is off in both columns, so it looks like we have found our problem. Weird, though - does this mean it turned itself off spontaneously, as the links were working previously.

I have a co-location server, so I'm going to need to make that php.ini change myself - is it something easy to to do?

Oh, and do you still need a copy of debug.html, now we've found this?
