Error for upgrade.

Ok so im guessing this is how you use the support for. I appologize for posting in the other thread.

This is my problem:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /arcade/functions/functions.php on line 908

Someone told me to edit my server config...which i dont know where it is or what to edit.



My temp fix:

functions.php on line 908 i added "//" for getinagesize() and it fixes the error but users avatars arnt displayed in arcade.

Thanks for finally arriving here

You need to use that original getimagesize()-function to display the avatars, and as told before the problem is in your server's configuration, not in ibProArcade:

URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

Please contact your root administrator to adapt your server-settings

ty for the help. Now my only problem is actually contacting them lol. Some company just bought out the old company and he either doesnt respond to my requests or takes a long time to.

[MrZeropage]

sorry, but there is nothing we can do about that here

Hmmm, don't know how fix this problem. No problems in all version incl. 2.6.1, except 2.62
Any hints? safe-mode? I'm not the php/apache crack...

[MrZeropage]

This is a server-configuration-problem, contact your root webmaster.

v2.6.1+ was not resizing avatars, so this worked before, but just make sure to adapt your server-settings and v2.6.2+ will work fine

Hi!

Have received the following information about this problem:

We recommend to activate you the fopen function purposefully in the respective places in the Scriptcode. Otherwise you have to activate/deactivate alternatively the possibility the FOPEN Wrapper directory to directory over the server interface of the operational readiness level.

:::

The global, unrestricted use of the fopen function (fopen() Wrapper) is according to standard deactivated on our servers for safety reasons. Otherwise aggressors would be to be merged potentially in a the position by means of CROSS Site Scripting strange code into your applications. Of course you have to activate the possibility the fopen functions in the places in your applications purposefully again, at which you need them. You find an appropriate guidance in your server interface. Only in absolute exceptional cases (no access to the source code etc..) have additionally the possibility of activating fopen functionality global for a whole listing.

I am not reliably whether I this pre-setting (due to safety aspects) to change am. Or how could one go around the problem alternatively? My avatar's has fixed size. Exclude the getimagesize() block? I think many people has the same problem due to safety aspects...!?

Yea my provider told me its turned off due to saftey reasons also...im still trying to ask him to turn it on though or see what it will take to have it on.

Can we disable the resize function? I'd really rather not stare at errors all the time, and I am not going to change hosts for the arcade.

I submitted a ticket to my hosting support. Could someone please advise how to disable the avatar resizing or something in case I get the same "security" response as others have gotten?

My host (surpass) fixed mine. Yay

[patbrandy]

Yes, I think exactly the same. I would not like to change the safety parameters of the server! Never touch a running system!
