Server Configuration Problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Sir Mewt 

I am using lightopenid on my localhost and it works fine but when I transferred 
it on my online dev-site it gave me multiple error messages

solution from the net says when i get those error message it is because my 
allow_url_fopen is disbled. but i tried disabling my localhost's 
allow_url_fopen and it still works fine..

i have curl enabled in my devsite and localhost..

this are the error messages:
http://dv10.havocdigital.com/ci203/

this is my devsite php_info: 
http://dv10.havocdigital.com/ci203/index.php/site/php_info

Please help me.. Thanks

Your problem on the server is caused not only by the fact that allow_url_fopen 
is disabled, but also because there's open_basedir.

When open_basedir or safe_mode are in effect, curl can't follow redirections, 
and therefore is disabled. And since allow_url_fopen is also disabled, php 
streams can't work either (and lightopenid should throw an exception in this 
case -- I'll change that).

In this case, LightOpenID (and any other OpenID library) simply can't work 
reliably.
I would advise to either change your hosting provider, or persuade it that 
allow_url_fopen should be enabled.

In theory, it probably is possible to work around that -- if not by following 
redirections manually, then by implementing a socket-based http client in php 
(there probably are libraries that do it). So if you really want to, you can 
try. However, an easier method would be to switch providers, if that's possible.

I have no plans to do so. It's a lot of code (probably more than the whole 
LightOpenID as of now) and would be of little use to most people.

Supporting both curl and streams requests already makes the library a lot 
bigger than it needs to be (in order to work on a good configuration).
