I have the following errors in my log:

Line: 1521

Am I missing a file somewhere?

Hmm, on this link (tpadmin;sa=modules) I have the following errors as well:

Line: 1479

2: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource

Permission issues with your host, they need to set *allow fopen*
You need to contact your host and ask them to change the settings on the server.

I saw people posting about similar issues and they got warned about sequrity issues. So what's the risc and why does TP use functions that are sequrity riscs?

[G6Cad]

TP itseöf does not come with any security issues what we know about, and fopen are not used with in our script, but in your own content, so one or more of your own added things causes the serrors, not tp itself

[Akyhne]

fopen, fread and fclose are used in TPmodules.php in the function TPparseRSS(). That's where I have the errors.

Just wondering, do you have an RSS blocks enabled? If so, disable them and see if the errors go away.

2: fopen() [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen[/url]]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

That makes me think there's a server issue. Possibly, files not having the correct permissions or not owned by you?

No.

I only have the error when clicking some of the TP admin links in the admin center.

TPParseRss() is what creates the RSS Feeds. allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include are php settings that allow you to grab a file remotely (like an RSS feed) to parse it and display it on your page. These PHP settings can be a security risk if your PHP script is not written with security in mind. As G6 said, if you don't want these errors, you have to tell your host to enable those settings. You see this error in the TP admin panel because there is an RSS feed in their to display the news etc.

I have full access to my php.ini file at my host, so that's not the issue. the trouble is that I understand it's a sequrity risc. I don't think I have enabled anything that provides rss feed. I only use what you can see on the forum.teamhd.org, nothing else.
