links found : 0 -- Fix!

[David_Hogan]

Hi, like many people who post here, when i tried to phpdig a site i always get the same thing:

SITE : http://www.whatever.com/
Exclude paths :
- @NONE@
No link in temporary table

links found : 0

For me, changing the allow_url_fopen setting to 'on' in php.ini (/etc/httpd/php.ini on my system) made it work.

allow_url_fopen = On

If you cant get access to your php.ini, but CAN get things added to your (apache) VirtualHost configuration, get this added:

php_value allow_url_fopen setting On

no, no '=' sign for that.

Adding it to a .htaccess file *may* work, havent checked.

An easy way to verify if the setting is turned on, is to call phpinfo() from a php page in the same directory.

Hope this helps some people with this extremely frustrating issue .. and maybe the install docs should mention that it relies upon it.

Cheers,
David Hogan
