Earlier today Jack reported a proxy site operating on the hosting, I wasn't involved with the setup and configuration for this server, so when I looked over it I was horrified to see multiple network related libraries still available.

I am aware that there are completely legitimate uses for the libraries but due to the fact that they're being abused they have all been disabled.

The following libraries have been disabled:

curl - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

ftp - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php

sockets - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php

stream - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.stream.php

I'll just reiterate this, outside connections on Zymic hosting are not permitted, so if an application / script requires it, they will not work upon the hosting.

This wouldn't my all of a sudden problem of not being able to do FTP uploads to the server, would it?

Also, did the other servers like clanteam already have this disabled and someone just dropped the ball when creating this one? Or was no one abusing it on other servers?

Lastly, was this the only way to deal with the problem?

Not unless you used a web interface for FTP, standalone FTP applications are completely unaffected by this change.

As far as I know these are disabled on our other servers.

Yes, if they are available they are unfortunately abused.

I'm a little upset as I would like to be able to obtain information from my punbb extern.php file.

I initially attempted it with file_get_contents and that was disabled, so I setup a method using cURL.

Now curl is disabled, and I'm not even trying to connect to a non-vndv.com domain.

Please offer some sort of alternative!

If the domain is yours simply use a path, not a url then you can get the contents of your file.




This should output the contents of the file.

Is this the reason why I'm having a warning on my Forum? All the data on FTP view are now Read-only.

No that's a different issue. See here: http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showt...=10182&st=0

As I stated it would not allow me to use the function file_get_contents due to restrictions on the host.
Also, I don't want the code from extern.php, I want the resulting output.

@Slow: Use paths relative to web site root or use output buffers if you must but I don't understand your purpose of not including extern.php instead of capturing the output.

My code is at : http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10238

If you have advice for me, please post it there.

if these are down. how are we suppose to edit the html tag so I can post a news page saying that the website is off the air by proxy servers. I NEED BY BUSINESS RUNNING. I'm running a game called gambino's crime hall and i need it working or I wont get money. my website URL is http://gambino.vndv.com/. if my website is off, then I can't run the automatic time system on my computer and I can't rest till the website is running.

I also want to know when will it get back up and running, I can't get to sleep till I get my codes done. also I don't want to loose my memory n where I left off. I need to know an estimate of time so I have enough time to think.

No offense Gambino, but this is free hosting, there is no guarantee that this service will be working. I think if you "NEED your business running" you should have BOUGHT a hosting plan from someone else.

And as for your question, quite simply, you can't make a page saying your site is down.

The website is back up.

The FTP is not working for http://miranda-world.vndv.com/. I really need to start on the website and I need ftp. Why isn't it working? Staff, please reply.

hey, i was wondering, is the site thing still going on or is it over?

:unsure:vndv.com is down!!!!! I'm currently working on my site.. please fix this immediately.... please please please

why do i keep losing connection to my sql. it says.... lost connection to mysql server reading initial communication packet???? plz help

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'users = '-1'' at line 1
can anyone help me fix dis please

This is the wrong section to post in.

Also, unless you post your code, how can we? We have no idea what you're trying to do.

swordz

Are you asking if the original topic posted by bread is the reason the servers are down? Or was it another post in this thread?

If you asking because some of the php libraries were disabled, then no that has nothing to do with the server being down. otherwise I don't know since I didn't see the topic you're talking about.

cud anyone please tell me why im havin problems on my wordpress....it givin me error

Warning: fsockopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /www/99k.org/a/a/s/aasif/htdocs/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1150

is it bcoz of da servers r on read only mode ???

No please search the forum. fsockopen is disabled.

yeah my site isn't loading and my ftp won't connect. wtf is wrong??

This isn't the right topic.

please see the latest news topic (not the pinned one)

I can't put any files to my site with dreamweaver or an outside ftp client. It says I don't have permission. Is this related to the proxy issue? Any other theories?

This is the wrong thread to post in harpsandfarley, your problem had to do with the read-only issue that is currently happening.

I'm trying to delete a file and replace it with one of the same name. Can't delete and can't replace. Is this an ongoing problem? I transferred my web site to this area in hopes of having an better location but now I beginning to wonder as I had this same problem several times.
Thanks,

Daniel:



I just posted that... Please read the threads before you post.

I know this is the wrong thread, but could someone let me know when the ftp read-only issue will be resolved, or at least point me in the direction of that thread?

It was supposed to be resolved last Tuesday. It is in one of the news threads.

Edit:
See here - http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showt...t=0&start=0

Would this be to do with my SMF forum not working. I changed domain name, and now I get 'site doesn't exist'

I am unable to run the most cursory script in php here.

<?php
print("Hello World");
?>;

Why does this just print to the browser instead of printing Hello World?
I have set execute permission on the file.

James

What are you actually trying to do? Where do you want it to print? I'm slightly confused by your question...

swordz

Did you save it as .php?
Oh, or did you want it to actually print? Sorry, I'm confused as well.
But I copied your script and it worked in my account.

I saved the file as hw.php
and set x permissions.

This is what literally shows up in my Browser
<?php
print("Hello World");
?>

I expect
Hello World

It is as thought php is disabled on my account.
the url is
http://jbszulc.vndv.com/test/hw.php
Any ideas?

Switch the code editor to 'Source' or write in a text editor and upload via ftp. If you look at the source, it's HTML entities, not the actual characters you can see due to the fact it's been written with the HTML editor.

hmm so thats why the smf package manager is completely fucked up

ok very good

Aff, damn it.
I've kept looking for webhosts that could run my script. (currently this is the fourth who couldn't meet my demands)
When I encountered zymic I thought I had found it at last!
But then I saw that you had disabled cURL.
I need to get online/offline information from and extern page...
What should I do?
I'm so lost... Is there anything that supports cURL?

The potential use for spammers is too high - you'll find most free hosts have it disabled.

swordz

Can this be off by default and enabled (per account) by appeal? There are so many useful mashup applications that could get a good start on a free host like this (eventually becoming paid accounts - hint hint), and there must only be so many users that would request it...

For instance, my entire project/concept may not get off the ground without a proof of concept, and I'm not in a position to invest in it without that... so you're essentially turning away your most legitimate potential clients.. throwing away the dishes with the dishwater so to speak.

--edit--

Notwithstanding.. I suppose such things can be done in Javascript where necessary..

It is possible to enable it - ask Jack in the IRC - it costs $10.

swordz

Is this why, from the Zymic website, I try to go to the File Manager and get nothing but a blank page?

-Scott Day mfbl.vndv.com

I understand the starter's point, but disabling FTP Libraries makes it impossible to install smf mods!!!!

I was joined today and I am not sure this is a correct thread for my question. But...

First I created the following iframe code in my HTML.
<iframe id="AWSTable" allowtransparency="true" src="about:blank" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="1" scrolling="auto" width="512" height="200"></iframe>
Then created Amazon REST string to get its AWS result only from their site and put it into above src tag instead of "about:blank."

But I could not see any visible response as the iframe contents. The other sites I know returned the response exactly.

This problem comes from the same restriction that you have mentioned? My example would not use PHP library. Or is this a different problem?

Thanks in advance.

the FTP no found for my web... helpme please. cannot up my web in your server,
here my e-mail for you request... tankyou

People don't think before abusing the net.The problem it causes others doesn't seem to bother them

Top up!So Good! I Like Zymic!

I need help with this; The path (/www/vndv.com/m/y/d/mydomain/htdocs/somedirectory/extern.php) which I also think is shown at the control panel, what's the full url to that? (for example http://zymic.com/www/zxq.net/m/y/d/mydomai...docs/index.php)

I know it's not possible to use f_open or file_get_contents but I need it for a PHP script that is redirecting a frame which it isn't possible to do with "../../" to go back in a directory. Can anyone help me?
