allow_url_fopen & clean_url_test_failed

Just curious, why does having allow_url_fopen disabled trigger a fail for the clean url test? How are they at all related?

Re: allow_url_fopen & clean_url_test_failed

allow_url_fopen allows PHP scripts to open URLs (instead of a local file path). TXP uses this to test if clean URLs work, because you can’t really test that without using an actual URL. So if allow_url_fopen is disabled, the test cannot be done, so TXP can’t tell if clean URLs work or not. You’d have to enable clean URLs yourself and simply try it.

Right, I just realized what was going on. It’s not that clean URLs fail, it’s that the clean URL test failed.

Re: allow_url_fopen & clean_url_test_failed

You shouldn’t get any message if you don’t have allow_url_fopen turned off (see starting line 316 of txp_diag.php). So what’s happening is that Textpattern thinks you do have allow_url_fopen turned on.

Checking the comments here, would that explain what’s happening?

I just checked on the host and allow_url_fopen is turned on. I’m unsure as to what’s actually happening… the test url (/?txpcleantest=1) returns a 404.

(Sry for posting this thread in the “Testing” forum, btw…)

I get the same as reported here.

Actually, Mary, I just found this active thread. Feel free to remove this one, I’ll go over there. :)
