Numerous errors when viewing Plug-In page

  • I installed WordPress on a commercially hosted account a few days ago. While the installation as a whole appeared to finish without any errors, I noticed numerous warnings when viewing Plug-In information under the Administrator Interface. I just uploaded Optimal Title to the Plug-In directory wp-content/plugins, but it is not being displayed in the Interface. I am also receiving the same numerous errors concerning Line 94, such as:
    Warning: file, mail, opendir, readdir, closedir() has been disabled for security reasons in

    Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in

    Just to inform you, I have had to remove a portion of the file locations to protect myself for security reasons. Since the blog is on a commercial host I have to protect myself from liability issues.
    Anyways, there are no plug-ins which have been recognized so they can be activated. Since I am new to PHP, MySQL, and WordPress, I admit that I have no idea as to what the warnings represent or how to correct them. I have contacted my host, and was able to receive the versions that they are running on the server to help anyone who might be familiar with these messages. They are: PHP 4.3.2, and MySQL 4.0.14
    I also do not know if it is possible to setup posting via e-mail when dealing with a commercial host. Any information and/or assistance in either topics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Sounds like your host has disabled a whole lot of useful PHP functions. Contact your host and give them that error message that you got. Maybe they’ll loosen the restrictions on your hosting account.

    markjaquith,
    Thanks for the suggestion, Mark. I did contact them, and they did in fact disable certain functionality because the PHP is installed on a Windows Server. I honestly do not comprehend the logic of their configuration which they claim is based on security, especially since I run newer versions of PHP and MySQL locally. And to be quite honest, my network has been attacked directly three different times this past year. Which is why the site is now on a commercial host. However I will have to live with the limited functionality for a time due to certain technical issues. Should the blog become popular, which I doubt, I will simply have it hosted on a server with full PHP and MySQL support.
    In the meantime, thank you very much for your response and suggestion. Jim
