    I didn't want to open a new thread about this - but it's turned off by default with my provider and before I bug them to hopefully change it, I'm wondering why we are being asked to do this. From various places online it states: "This setting is up there as one of the most dangerous settings you can have enabled on a web server. It will allow someone to potentially inject a tiny piece of code into your system that could in turn completely compromise your entire server. If you have some bad programming practices in place it could even mean someone could compromise your system without even having to inject code. " and "If a script claims to require this feature, you should look into alternative software, as the use of this feature indicates serious design flaws. " --- I'm really wanting to find an Oxwall replacement because it seems like a dead project, wanted to use Dolphin but was directed this way -- but wondering if maybe this isn't a good idea.

    • Birch  you are partly right the installation of una does not include php.ini files is why you get this message php.ini files are server files and thus can be used to turn of allow_url_include to turn it off you just need to set up a php.ini file and add it to the right files

      for example when i manually installed una i had to add a php.ini file to install directory to install it as allow_url_include was on i had to turn it off i did so with a php.ini file same with studio i could not access studio i added that same php.ini file to studio sorted same with not being able to have the time line post or being able to access conversations section of the site i added a php.ini file to modules folder sorted and i originally had a php.ini file in the root directory of the site so the user side was accessible without this warning

      from this website you will read the same as what Birch posted but heres how to solve your issue Muhammad Zahid Ali
