FV Gravatar Cache Not working on new host

Alec Kinnear 9 years, 10 months ago
Running the latest versions of the Plugin and WordPress with PHP 5.3.

When running the plugin, I get the gravatar images being posted in the plugins/fv-gravatar-cache/images folder however they are all 0 byte.

Putting the plugin into debug mode, here is the data in the file:
```
Processing 25 gravatars

INSERT, http://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/plugins/fv-gravatar-cache/images/f1968f0296e86da785ec6a197ea86625, 96, 05temp@.....com, Wed, 08 May 13 02:49:58 +0000 Error: ''

INSERT, http://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/plugins/fv-gravatar-cache/images/920382e337db25b22eff610ceb22e3fe, 96, 111@.....com, Wed, 08 May 13 02:50:08 +0000 Error: ''
```
Looking on the site, I cleared cache however nothing is getting cached. I assume that’s the Error in the log.txt file.

Looking at permissions on the images folder, it’s set to 0755 all the way up to the root.

Any thoughts?

Hi Steve,

Glad you are using FV Gravatar Cache. It’s one of our hidden gems that we just love and have on all our production sites (FV Gravatar Cache really speeds up page loads on heavily commented sites).

I see WordPress image and file upload and everything else are working okay. Your site looks great.

I’ve sent your report on to my colleague Martin who actually coded the FV Gravatar Cache. If your bug report is enough for him to figure out the issue, he’ll give you a quick fix you can implement yourself.

Thanks for using FV plugins!

Hello Steve,

please check your phpinfo() to figure out if you have allow_url_fopen enabled and if you also have curl installed and enabled. Here’s how to obtain it, just don’t forget to delete the file afterwards, as it might contain sensitive information about your server configuration.

Unfortunately our plugin tries to use fopen before curl, so you can try to switch order of these two in GetFromURL() function of the plugin if you know a bit of PHP.

Please let us know if that helped, as we should fix that if it’s causing issues on some servers.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I’ve added the curl issue to the FAQ in the readme.txt in Github. Please roll out an update soon so this info is there. There’s a couple of quick updates as well which perhaps Karol could do for a better newer version.

Hi Steve,

Let us know if this fix works. Thanks!

@martin — I checked and I have both CURL and allow_url_fopen enabled.

I also switched the order of them in GetFromURL() however that also did not help.

I then moved the CACHE folder and set it to 777 perms and that still did not help.

The files are created (including default.png) however they are empty, 0k filesize.

Thanks for helping with this.
