Hi there,

I'm having difficulty tracking the problem with this error code. I been advised that this mapping does no longer work so I checked and I get the same error message below. Is anyone able to help. I have set the path to permissions 777 but still the same problem occurs.

Thanks in advance.

Jason

Hey Jason -

You actually should go the other way on a lot of servers. On the plugin folder, set the permissions to 755.

Are you mapping by address?

If so, is your allow_url_fopen set to on or off?

Hi I have set the permission back to 755 but still no luck. Yup I have mapped by address. I think you may have got me up and running before and something has happened to the system now?!

I'm not sure if I have allow_url_fopen set to on or off as not sure where to find this, if you can help I'll have a look for you.

Thanks

Jason

Ah I have found it - It is turned off should it be turned on?

allow_url_fopen Off Off

Thanks

Jason

Yes. If you are mapping by address, then it needs to be turned on. I never map by address, actually. I always include the code to pull in the Longitude and Latitude based on the address.

In any case, for address-based mapping you need to have the fopen on. Otherwise, geocode your entries and you are good-to-go.
