In my case i disabled the PHP Function file_get_contents. To do so you need root access to the piwik server. I’ve edited the php.ini file and set the following parameters:


allow_url_fopen = Off
allow_url_include = Off

If found this solution while securing the webserver. There is a nice description how to do so on: Linux: 25 PHP Security Best Practices For Sys Admins - nixCraft. Check #7 for the above described Problem.
Where you can find the php.ini file depends on your operating system.

Be aware that you would not be able to do the 1-Click-Update! Cause we disable the Request for the newest Version of Piwik.

Hi,

I got the same error. I think that I will disable the file_get_content PHP function, but could you please explain me what is that function?
What are the implications of removing it?

Thanks a lot!

As explaind above. For Piwik it means that the automatic Update will not check every time if there is a newer version of Piwik.

This function is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. Because it will use memory mapping techniques, if this is supported by the server, to enhance performance.
