pici-proxy installed but it won't work

??, 2009-05-22

hi,
i've just uploaded all the files from the "pici-proxy_snapshot"-zip folder. i've also changed the "$pici_server" in the index.php file. but now when i enter the url to the index.php file the browser shows me the favicon and that's it. a blank web page.

if it's important: the site is hosted at www.funpic.de.

additional info:
i've just checked, if i enter the url to the "gpl.txt" file it is shown. but if i enter the url to the "index.php" file i get a blank page only with the url & the favicon in the url bar.

the "index.php" file is somehow detected, because if i enter an invalid file name (i.e. "idnex.php") i get a 404 page. but it stays all blank. ??

and if i click on "view source" in firefox i get a blank screen, too. why?

Hi,
I checked the Site. Unfortunately they deactivated some important functions of PHP so that pici-proxy cant work, because it makes use of these functions.
This can be seen as a problem of such providers for free.
On any common PHP-Server pici-proxy will work like a charm :-)

Pici-proxy makes use of the following functions (which have been deactivated on funpic.de, most probably due to the fact that funpic is free of charge):
fopen (for URLs)
fsockopen

pici-proxy is designed to work on any PHP-Installation from Scratch. However, this seems to be a heavily customized version with exactly the functions deactivated that pici-proxy needs to work. It would be intersting to know if others had better results on free-of-charge-webservers.
