allow_url_fopen Does Not Change

[denverdataman]

Hi,

I have a site running on PHP 7.0.30 with EasyAache 4. I am trying to change the PHP value of allow_url_fopen to ON and cannot. I have tried using php.ini, .user.ini, .htaccess, and with ini_set () in my setting file for Drupal. None of it works. I have tried the same code in another server and it works fine. Does anyone have a "trick" for getting allow_url_fopen to work on a cPanel server?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,


Are you running PHP-FPM or CloudLinux's Alt-PHP on the server?

 

[denverdataman]

Yes, I am running php_fpm.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

The change isn't taking place because it needs to be changed in the fpm configuration. The php_admin_flag for allow_url_fopen needs to be changed:

php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = on

Information on modifying the configuration can be found in the documentation here:
The php_fpm_config Script - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation
PHP-FPM User Pools - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Hl Lauren,

I am sorry if I am missing something. I added that line to the .user.ini and ran the rebuild command but no change. Is there another place I should be putting the code?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi @denverdataman

I apologize if I didn't explain properly, changes made in the .user.ini for this are overridden by the php-fpm configuration if the setting exists, since this one does, you'd need to make the changes to the yaml file for php-fpm based on the instructions in the documentation I provided.

Thanks!

Hi,

If anyone is reading this in the future I am not sure this is how it should be but I found my fix. If you look at the documentation for PHP-FPM (Configurations Values of PHP-FPM - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation) allow_url_fopen should be on by default. I turned it on using the instructions provided for cPanel. This made no change. It was OFF in the php.ini file at /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc. Turning it on in the php.ini did the trick.

This does nothing for explaining why trying to turn it on in any other place at the domain level did nothing.

Hi @denverdataman

User level modifications will have no effect if it is disabled globally. So you can enable allow_url_fopen in
/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc then disable it for specific domains but not the other way around.

Thanks!

Hi Lauren. I have the same problem as above but can't see where I should put
php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = on
I do not know if I have fpm enabled.
I have WHM, tried PHP ini editors for php 5.6 and 7.0, I have set allow_url_fopen to enabled, and restarted. Nothing happened.
tried the same in cPanel nothing happened.
Then searched my server for php.ini the highest level was at root level, when edting I have file generatored by
cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor it doesn't have either allow url fopen on or off, its just not included even though I had set enabled in the MultiPHP Editor.
I added
php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = on
allow_url_fopen = on
Nothing has changed.
Whats the point in having it in the Multi PHP INI Editor if it doesn't do anything? How do I enable?

Thanks

HI @SamL

You can see if you have php-fpm enabled in MultiPHP Manager through WHM it should be displayed to the right of the domain name list at WHM>>Software>>MultiPHP Manager. If you're changing the setting for PHP versions and nothing is changing I would lean toward you having FPM enabled.

Thanks!

Hi @cPanelLauren,

Would you mind telling me how to do this for one domain, instead of referring to two sets of documentation?

Hello,
Quite late but a simple solution is, if you have WHM access then search "MultiPHP INI Editor" then select your PHP version and enable "allow_url_fopen" Done.
Now go to your domain Cpanel and from "MultiPHP INI Editor" select your domain and enable "allow_url_fopen"

That's it.
Hope this help
Thanks
