The official documentation can be seen here.

allow_url_fopen is on but phpinfo says off – CPanel

Since either when I updated the server to PHP7 or when I enabled AutoSSL for my server I has not been able upload files. My error is as follows

fopen(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0

I have no idea where allow_url_fopen=0 is coming from because in both the global php.ini and the php.ini inside of the sub domain are using stating

allow_url_fopen=On
allow_url_include = On

In phpinfo() I see where my php.ini file is…

Configuration File (php.ini) Path   /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc
Loaded Configuration File   /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini

When I open this php.ini file I see that allow_file_fopen is “On”

; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
; http://php.net/allow-url-fopen
allow_url_fopen = On

; Whether to allow include/require to open URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as fil$
; http://php.net/allow-url-include
allow_url_include = On

But in the same phpinfo() file I see allow_file_fopen is off

Directive   Local Value Master Value
allow_url_fopen Off Off
allow_url_include   Off Off

From another stack exchange thread I was told to try the following code which turns out it is OFF

if (ini_get("allow_url_fopen") == 'On') {
echo "allow_url_fopen is ON";
} else {
echo "allow_url_fopen is OFF";
}

Previously I did get this working by using the following code in my controller, but this no longer works for a reason I do not know

ini_set('allow_url_fopen',1);

I am using Laravel 5.2 and Image intervention package to deal with the images that get uploaded. As i said this was all working before PHP7 and AutoSSL

What am I missing?

    I was able to find where allow_url_fopen was switched off inside of WHM by editing the "MultiPHP INI Editor" section. From there I selected PHP7. The first option it gave me to to enable allow_url_fopen. This fixed my error.

    I couldn't find where allow_url_fopen was disabled at all through SSH. I guess it is because I didn't understand the upgrade procedure from PHP5 to PHP7 and that I had PHP7 enabled only per account through cPanel though Root apeared to be still using PHP5 for php.ini.

    I had the same problem. The configuration of pool was disabled the option:

    A) First I tried to found which file is modifying the setting:

        # cd /etc/php
    # grep -r allow_url_fopen

7.3/fpm/pool.d/worpresspool1.conf:php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = off
7.3/fpm/php.ini:allow_url_fopen = On
7.3/cli/php.ini:allow_url_fopen = On

    B) Then I edited the file

        # vi /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/worpresspool1.conf

    and commenting the above line with ;:

        ;php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = off

    C) In my case I’ve restarted php-fpm service because I’m using Fast-cgi

        # systemctl restart php7.3-fpm

    In WHM’s MultiPHPManager, Under PHP-FPM INI Settings,
    Treat URLs as files (allow_url_fopen) – CHECK THIS ON
    Block domain from changing the setting – UNCHECK THIS (Important)
    Then Restart PHP-FPM Service, It works. Meanwhile, make sure it is Enabled at Domain level.
