gauravchawla18 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi, I am new to PrestaShop & installed it just now. In the admin panel it is showing "If you want to be able to fully use the AdminModules panel and have free modules available, you should enable the following configuration on your server: - Enable PHP's allow_url_fopen setting" I dont know how to do it if any one can help please. Thanks GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolige Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi gauravchawla18, Depends of your hosting provider, this feature can be changed in the file php.ini, some providers don't grant access to this file, but you can try, check this: http://crybit.com/enable-allow_url_fopen/ regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Is turning on allow_url_fopen a security risk? Googling this setting led me to believe that it's risky. My only purpose for turning it on would be to fully enable the AdminModules panel for Prestashop Addons. Here's what my hosting provider (A2 Hosting) had to say about it: The allow_url_fopen directive is disabled by default. You should be aware of the security implications of enabling the allow_url_fopendirective. PHP scripts that can access remote files are potentially vulnerable to arbitrary code injection.

El Patron Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think it depends on which platform you are using. If you trust PrestaShop developers/platform, and well want payment options, then you will need to allow. Happy day, el Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
