According to phpinfo(), allow_url_fopen is off. Although I maintain
websites in my department as a network admin, I do not manage this
particular site because, due to lack of staff, the Department gave the
responsibility of it to the college several years back. Is there some
security risk that would make them keep it off?
Also, as you can imagine, I have no shell access to this system
(except indirectly by mounting the directory tree via smb) and,
according to phpinfo(), the php.ini file is located in the /etc/php/
apache2-php5/ directory. Thus, I am unable to even view the php.ini
file.
I still cannot fathom though why a remote client (yours) would be able
to view the results but not a local client (mine). Why would the
server say no to me but not to you which, inherently, is less secure?
It's not that I doubt you -- I'm just trying to understand what's
happening here.
