Hey guys,

Excellent little module here. I know it is good because I have it working on the test site, but the production site is throwing an error.

Here is the error in the UI when the module is enabled. I don't see this error on the other site I'm running. I can't find the difference as of yet.

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/31/d384714160/htdocs/aruffrufflife_live/modules/mod_kksouGoogleWeather/mod_kksouGoogleWeather_libclass.php on line 678

Apparently I can't do anything about my text being duplicated or tripled when I post. Sorry about that.

Hi,

As the error message says, the problem is with your php.ini. Some host are more conservative and set to block all file and web access PHP commands by default in the php.ini.

The google weather retrieves data from the wunderground.com weather server. It requires the web access for it to work.

If you're ok with allowing web access, please google for "php.ini allow file_get_contents". There are many articles that shows you how to enable file_get_contents() in the php.ini for your server.

Thanks Kksou!

Okay, here is my new question. On a J1.5 site or less you would see the PHP.ini file in the /root directory. What is the location in J2.5?

Also, this modules runs fine on test.aruffrufflife.com and not www.aruffrufflife.com (just a second instance of the site) on the same host. So that is what is confusing me. I know I have to see the contents of the file to figure this out.

I think I found the issue and the resolution from your help.

test site that works.
PHP Version 5.4.10

live site that doesn't work
PHP Version 5.2.17

Amazing! It was because I was specifying this in my .htaccess file (pre J2.5) which came over when I needed it.

########## Begin - Joomla! PHP5
#
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
#
########## End - Joomla! PHP5

So this will remind me to comment out this on all the sites. Thanks again!
