    Hi guys, every time i go to create a new feed i see the following error:

    Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /PATHTOWP/wp-content/plugins/gravityformsfreshbooks/api/HttpClient.php on line 79

    Is there a way to fix this?

  2. You will need to discuss this with your web host. They need to disable safe_mode on your site, otherwise the FreshBooks API wrapper won't work.

  4. I am having the same problem. I have disabled safe_mode, double checked that it is off on php.info but am still getting this error: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in ....com.au/html/wp-content/plugins/gravityformsfreshbooks/api/HttpClient.php on line 79
    It also appears above a normal contact form when submitted. Please Help!

  5. It appears that PHP does not know it was disabled. Did you have to restart the web server or anything, to ensure that it's no longer present in the phpinfo()?

    That error is coming from PHP and it's complaining about safe_mode being on, or open_basedir being set.

  6. I fixed the problem: both safe_mode and cURL have to be disabled. I added the following to my php.ini file:

    safe_mode = Off
    open_basedir = none ; /nfs:/tmp:/usr/local:/etc/apache2/gs-bin:/usr/bin/convert

    allow_url_fopen = On

    memory_limit = 100M
    cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
