[pmwiki-users] SOLVED Re: problem with rss feeds, external feeds

[Russ Fink]

Followup - problem solved for me.  The provider looked at the problem, and 
enabled allow_url_fopen.  My pages work now.

I had tried the .htaccess trick he mentioned, and even did some @ini_set 
w/in pmwiki, but that didn't work because he didn't enable overrides in the 
apache or PHP.ini configuration (I don't know which).  Well, now he enabled 
overrides and enabled the url_fopen thing.  Problem solved.

In other news, if anyone needs a good low cost hosting provider that /now/ 
supports PmWiki, check out www.angryhosting.com.  I'm evaluating it for a 
few more days before outright ditching hostmonster.com which has been 
nothing but flaky and unreliable for me (your mileage may vary) since I 
started hammering on the wiki content two weeks ago.  Matt's been really 
responsive and helpful, does all the tech support himself.  Yes, there is 
ssh access.

Thanks for all the hosting provider tips, btw.

Would anyone mind if I added a HostingProviders page to pmwiki.org?  I would 
include a disclaimer that PmWiki neither endorses nor condemns any of the 
listed providers, but is just anecdotal evidence of what some people have 
found to work.
