[SOLVED] How to activate/validate Moneybookers payment module?

[Pippo3000]

alright, running moneybookers 1.4 on presta 1.3 and cannot activate it, when I enter my moneybookers email for validation it says "Impossible to contact activation server, please try later". always. cannot be usual, can it? contacted moneybookers for support but maybe someone here can direct me in the right direction to solve this issue. and yes, my merchant account in moneybookers is activated and a separate passwort is set.

thanks

alright, seems to be a local issue. looked in moneybookers.php and there is following line:

$fp = fopen('http://moneybookers.prestashop.com/email_check.php?email='.$_POST['mb_email_to_validate']

when I copy the link and open it with my email at the end in the browser the result is "OK". so it seems to be a PS/server issue. could this be the fopen command? I remember this needs to be activated somewhere, was it in the htaccess or php.ini? what would I need to add to enable the fopen command?
