Trouble showing ads...

[Capn]

I'm having trouble getting Link Vault ads to show in my bookstore footer. Getting test links to show up isn't a problem, but the actual links that I've agreed to show for others won't show up.

One of the techies at LV told me:

"I have made a thourough examination into the problems you are having displaying link vault links on your site. It appears that your server cannot make http requests to our server, perhaps your firewall is blocking comms after too many requests initially, if this is the case you need to get your host to allow it."

Anybody else having this issue with LV or am I the only one?

I have seen this on servers that run is safe mode. It could be that fopen wrappers are off and they use file_get_contents or similar to fetch the files.

I don't know their code nor have I ever seen it, so I can't offer much.

If the above is the case however, they should show you a curl extension option to fetch the files.

But remember, this is a guess, I have no idea how it works.

Cool! Thanks for the ideas, noppid. I'll throw those at my host and see what happens.
