Question

When trying to include the content of an external page, I get this error in the topic view:

Warning This site does not allow INCLUDE of URLs.

How do I fix this?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

There's an option in bin/configure named {INCLUDE}{AllowURLs} which you need to switch on. It is an "expert" option, so you need to click the "Yes, I've read all the documentation" button first. Actually, though reading the documentation might be a good idea, it would not answer your question.

We tried to use this option in Release 4.1.2 but it does not work. Is there a bug or what could be the reason?

The option works in 4.1.2 as far as I can say. So if you get the same error message as Dave though you've set the option, then there's something really strange going on which would need a deeper analysis of log files or even debugging.

If, however, "does not work" has other symptoms, it would be helpful if you share them. A frequent cause of problems which I am aware of is that the web server's user id might not be allowed to access the URL; for example because you are in an intranet and there is a proxy you need to pass before reaching the wild wild web.
