Rsfirewall Control Panel Module Status Update And Joomla Version Computed Grade Error - 5.0 out of 5 based on 1 vote

When you log into your Joomla Administration Panel, under the RSFirewall Control Panel Module, do you see that your RSFirewall and Joomla Version Status indicators show an error? Mine did too!


RSFirewall Control Panel Module ErrorI was able to fix it but at the moment I do not understand "WHY" what I fixed caused the problem.


When you first run the system check, it tells you that you need to "fix" the php directives within the Server Configuration section. It will tell you to click a button and the system will attempt to fix the directives that show errors by creating a php.ini file in the root of your site. Well, it does this just fine. However to clear the errors, you must then copy the php.ini file to your Administrative folder. Now, I have installed RSFirewall on hundreds of websites and have only gotten this error that you see to the right, twice.


With a little troubleshooting, I was able to narrow the problem down to this line of code in the php.ini file of the administrator folder.

Remove from php.ini file from the administrator folder only: allow_url_fopen=Off


Now, why does this work? I do not know, but if you delete both php.ini files from both the root and admin folders, this error clears right up. So with testing, I added them both back and then started to systematically delete one line at a time. I narrowed it down to that one line of code in that one file in the admin folder. I hope this helps anyone with a similiar issue.
