fopen: failed to open stream

[ed_m2]

i keep meaning to check this out... if i do a phpinfo() readout i should see if this setting is disabled ?
my host has an option for custom configuration variables in the control panel, just not the fopen one.

Yes, look for "allow_url_fopen"

Ed,

As Ichbin mentioned in a previous post (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=31608.msg252938#msg252938), this issue was likely due to the problems we were having with the TinyPortal server at that time.  If you are still having the issue, there is probably something else causing it, likely on your end.

i know... and yes.
although the smf feeds work fine which is assume is also an fopen.

In my experiences, fopen are either server issues or chown/chmod issues.

Are you still getting the error? If not, then I would consider this solved. If you are still getting this error, there is not much we can do. The file is there as you can see if you actually click the link for it on this site. I'd have a talk with your host if you can't connect to it from your site.

i just checked.... at present the panels/blocks page takes a looong time to load and either:
- times out with "The requested URL could not be retrieved"
- or loads as far as the latest block snippets with no content.

i will raise it with the hosts at some point

i guess the answer i really need is.. is the implmentation of these feeds any different to the smf ones that appear on the admin panel front page & packages page in smf ?

Ed,

I haven't had any problems with this since the Server problems here were fixed.  I don't personally know if the method for grabbing these pages from the SMF site is the same or different than the TP pages.  I think it has something to do with the packages server.  If you check with your host about it and nothing on your site seems to be amiss, post back and we can ask Bloc to check the Packages Server to see if there are any further issues here, but it seems to be working well on all of my sites, at least right now.
