Topic: extern.php problem

Hi,

I've just changed my hoster. I have transferred all my DB.
The forum works good but I have an only problem on my index page of my site concerning extern.php
In my index I have this:

<?php
include('http://www.pluriservices.net/forum/extern.php?action=active&show=8');
?>

It gives this:

Warning: main(http://www.pluriservices.net/forum/exte … amp;show=8): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/ju37853/index.php on line 149

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'http://www.pluriservices.net/forum/exte … amp;show=8' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/ju37853/index.php on line 149

I think it is due to the host migration.

How to correct this problem?

Re: extern.php problem

your hoster is disable allow_url_fopen in php.ini
allow_url_fopen = Off
so you cannot use extern.php in your site sad

>How to correct this problem?
modify or build another extern.php file to include it as normal file let us name it as internal.php
include('./forum/internal.php');

see
http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=89
there is a file active_topics.php i included in home.php to show the active topics in home page.

If your people come crazy, you will not need to your mind any more.

Re: extern.php problem

any idea Rickard?
May the problem be linked with dns?
Do you think reinstalling the forum in the whole would solve the problem?
Can it be done whithout loosing messages and settings.
Last question: Has the install process a link with the good working of extern.php ?

Re: extern.php problem

Well, try including it with a relative path instead of using the full URL.

Re: extern.php problem

You might need to use a full path: /home/ju37853/forum/extern.php

Re: extern.php problem

Isn't the problem here that '?action=active&show=8' is getting treated as part of the file name rather than as a paremeter being passed to extern.

I tried with that and it always gives the same error message.
I really don't understand what is happening because this worked good with my foreign hoster.

Any idea?

Re: extern.php problem

Paul: Yes, but that would mean that allow_url_fopen is disabled, but according to Ludo, it isn't.

Ludo: I honestly don't know what's wrong. What does this script output:

<?php exit(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')); ?>

The scripts execute and it gives  1

I also tell you that I've just tried to reinstall the forum but there is always the error

Re: extern.php problem

Try chmodding the extern.php script to 777.

That's done but no result... always the same error.

just a precision. I have several websites. As I'm curious, I tried to call the inculde.... from another website not hosted in the same hoster. I'm very surprised to see extern.php works when it is called from the outside.
I really think it's a hoster problem.
Is i t possible to call extern.php with fopen?

You can see my phpinfo here:

Re: extern.php problem

My hoster has just informed me that it is not possible to make an include with parameters for security reasons... He told me that you code is not secure enough...

So, I've tried another thing.
I put:

$_GET['action'] = 'active';
$_GET['show'] = 8;
include('/home/ju37853/forum/extern.php')

And I got the following error:

The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first.

I don't understand. My config.php exists and all is correct.
Any idea?

Re: extern.php problem

I've got the solution!

in extern.php , I modified punroot with '/home/ju37853/forum/'

and it works now!

But there is now another problem.

The navigator don't read anything after the code calling extern

<?php
$_GET['action'] = 'active';
$_GET['show'] = 8;
include('/home/ju37853/forum/extern.php');
?>

All the code after this is not seen. So I only got an half page...

What's happening?

I see it works.

The problem is when it is integrated in a page with the include fonction. This is why I try others solution.
One of this solution works but does not enable the page to screen in the whole.
See here:
http://www.pluriservices.net/test2.php
and here:
http://pluriservices.net
and you'll see that there is the footer missing.

Re: extern.php problem

I also tried with that code but it has the same effect:

<?php
$ancien_get_action = $_GET['action'];
$ancien_get_show = $_GET['show'];
$_GET['action'] = 'active';
$_GET['show'] = 8;
include($_SERVER['HTTP_RACINE'] . '/forum/extern.php');
$_GET['action'] = $ancien_get_action;
$_GET['show'] = $ancien_get_show;
?>

I know Rickard that your code is secure. My hoster disagree.
As I don't want to change again of hoster (I've just done it two days ago...) I'm trying to find a solution.

May the problem come from "exit" in extern.php ? Someone told me that I could replace exit by return. What do you think about it?
