Some issues with advanced package.

[DaTaX]

For some reason, when i get to my site (http://www.datax.x10hosting.com) I get an error message saying

[B]Warning[/B]:  include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in [B]/home/houlema/public_html/templates/mbt_biz/index.php[/B] on line [B]2[/B]

[B]Warning[/B]:  include(http://staff.x10hosting.com/adCode.php?ad=advanced) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in [B]/home/houlema/public_html/templates/mbt_biz/index.php[/B] on line [B]2[/B]

[B]Warning[/B]:  include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'http://staff.x10hosting.com/adCode.php?ad=advanced' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [B]/home/houlema/public_html/templates/mbt_biz/index.php[/B] on line [B]2[/B]

Now, I know it means that the adCode cannot be displayed because the link can no longer be accessed on the server. It's probably happening to other users as well and I was just wondering if it was because of a temporary problem or because the text link code changed and I need a new one.

The other issue I have is with the MySQL database server. In my profile page in x10 forums, it says that all services are up and running (including MySQL). But when I go see the status page (the new beta2 page), it says that MySQL is offline. I take it that the beta2 status page is the one that shows the good status.

The only thing I would like to know is if these problems are temporary and will be fixed soon, or if there really is a problem with my account that need attention to be taken care of.

I'm pretty sure those errors are specific to your account, since the address throwing them is your directory, however I'm not sure what is causing them.

these errors just came up of nowhere. one day all was working fine and the other i just showed them. i didn't do any modifications that could have caused these errors lately. i also have a phpbb2 forum bridged with joomla so that when a user logs in to their accounts and click on the forum link, they are automatically logged in the forums. the login form of phpbb2 is supposed to link back to the joomla login, but now nothing is working with the bridge. this failure also corresponds to the moment where the php errors came.

any ideas?

Edit : I found something about php.ini and the allow_url_include funtion in php5 (which i don't know if I can temper with, or if it is administrator stuff) and i think the problem comes from there.

Actually, those errors are caused by settings in the php.ini file. Allowing includes/requires to use a full url is sort of a security risk. You can always use the JavaScript version

i created my own php.ini file and allowed the includes and placed it in my root directory, now it works. should i remove it if it really poses a security risk?

the joomla-phpbb bridge problem is also solved. was there an update in the php version x10hosting is using? because the updated bridge i installed was published to solve problems that appeared after the installation of php 5.2

That is a problem now I am fixing, the firewall is blocking the socket opening attempt so it shows off line, but it is problem online.

server configuration in /home/houlema/public_html/templates/mbt_biz/index.php on line 2

That is the only real error -- the others are spin offs from that one. You need to use the javascript ad code.

i disabled my homemade php.ini file and removed the php adcode to replace it by the javascript one. everything works like a charm now.

seems all my issues are solved now! and thanks bandon for the info about the mysql status.
