Hello

. I have cURL enabled, FTP off. I was upgrading OK using fopen previously but not now. With fopen I get the following message:Download Failed: Remote Server connection failed: fopen(http://jsitepoint.com/update/packages/joomla/update.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied; Using Proxy: No(42)[/code]

With cURL I am getting the following message:

any help with be greatly appreciated as I was very happy before and was working perfectly.

Hi!

I had some problems to with both fopen and curl. The solution for me was to (temporarily)set 'allow_url_fopen = On' in my php.ini. Now the fopen method worked perfectly for me. I upgraded about 15 sites from 1.1.14 to 1.1.15 today.

When you don't have access to the php.ini file this will obviously not work. But you might ask tour hosting provider to help you along.

Another thing: One of my sites did have a problem, even with allow_url_fopen set to on. But when I turned OFF ftp support in the Joomla configuration it worked OK. While it worked with ftp enabled on all of my other sites... You might try turning it on or off.

Hope this helps!
