fsockopen() has been disabled

[gillic]

Hi guys before the server went off and now that it's on again I got this :fsockopen() has been disabled
and nothing works for me...
It was working before.
Don't ask technical questions as I'm totally lost when it's about servers, php and etc...
One word: HHHeeeLLLppp
Lol
:drool:

 

[Corey]

What are you using that needs fsockopen?

 

[gillic]

I saw others relating the same message.
Is there any news?
Thank you.

 

[TheJeffsta]

Yes, news from a while back - not sure if posted fully though.

Many php functions have been disabled due to security reasons.

What script are you trying to run that uses it?

 

[gillic]

Hi corey,
I suppose it's vbulletin components and plugins like RSS included with the BB
Ok, more precisely, I found their names:
ICo-Content : Warning: fsockopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 95
and
RSS Poster Robot : fsockopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 95
There might be more going wrong, I don't know, it happens that I found 3;
The 3rd :
Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /admincp/index.php on line 994

Thank you for the news TheJeffsta (Jeffrey N).

Its been disabled for security reasons, as your error message stated. Can you tell us why you need it enabled? ( Also, please next time start your own thread so we can handle each request separately )

@gillic - Can you tell me if your vBulletin is legal or not?

 

[gillic]

yes, it is a legal one.

 

[Brandon]

Well then, how come "includes/vbulletin_credits.php" was tamped with, like a nulled one, they should be links but it just lists there names. (When you view the ACP).

 

[gillic]

Huh ???
I cannot tell, as I don't grab half of it, I tried to check what you write in your post, but I can't.
I understand, anyway, that something is wrong.
Edit:
Ok,
What do you want me to do now, I can uninstall everything if you're certain it's a bad version.
I'll find free BB, if you have name it'll help.

 

[Corey]

Gillic, Brandon has stated that you're vB is nulled(Illegal). If you purchased it please send me the license # corey[@]x10hosting.com so I can verify it with vBulletin. If it is valid we will help you get it working.

[gillic]

I puchased a cd.
I searched for "license", but cannot find any.

 

[Corey]

Did you buy vBulletin from vBulletin.com? If you didn't buy it from them and don't have a license number the copy you bought is illegal and is not allowed to be hosted here.

-Corey

 

[gillic]

No, in a shop.
Yes, you're right I'm afraid.
So, what now?
Erase the files and?

 

[Corey]

Yes, erase the files... You can use a different CMS or you can buy a legal copy from vbulletin.com

 

[gillic]

Sorry for the infringement.
Done, any good free BB names you can think of?
Oups and if I need some php functions to be activated, like fsockopen(), will it be ok then?

 

[xeross]

Good free bulletin boards, PHPBB and SMF

 

[gillic]

Thank you xeross.
Anything that can start a board with auto posting like ico-content?
Or is it something currently integrated in all or almost all boards?

 

[Corey]

Once you pick software and get it installed you can request that we enable it for you.
