Deprecated: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in Unknown on line 0

Question

I upload my Laravel project on shared hosting. When I upload my project on the server it throws an exception then switched my PHP version 5.4 to 7.4. Now am facing this issue.

Deprecated: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in Unknown on line 0

I also disable the allow_url_include in my PHP ini file which exists in project root directory but it still says allow_url_include depreciated error.

Also, I go into the PHP Multi INI Editor and change the allow_url_include but it still throw the above error.

Answer 1

Log into your website host and navigate to your public_html folder and find the php.ini file. Open the file and find this code:

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

Change allow_url_include = On to allow_url_include = Off and save the file.

This should fix the error.

Remove .htaccess or change name to .htaccess.backup and WP will generate new file based on your site configuration
