Gday all,
Just wanted aussie EE users to be aware of a web hosting company that is decidedly EE Unfriendly. Not only did they just turn off “fopen” without warning they would not listen to any advice/solution or anything else offerred by Derek who did his best with them but they just have no idea. The only thing they did was give me 7 days to convert my EE site to a Joomla site! Here is a copy of a post they made to me—their solution was to switch to Joomla!!!!
As you might not be aware of it , fopen is a security flaw in php which can easily be compromised.
If this software you are using is requiring this I would strongly suggest to create a new site in joomla instead as they keep their security up to date.
Sure enough 7 days later ausweb disabled my site.
The Moral of the story: dont use ausweb!!
Ill let you know more about this company once all of my sites have been moved.
