Client was already with Network Solutions but come to find out Base64 decoding is not supported on this shared hosting package.

I get a base64 error now and then when using cmsb (using 2.06 now but it happened with prev versions as well).

When it happens again I'll post the exact error message.

Has anybody faced / solved this?

I have had the same issue with network solutions. this message pops up from time to time, but then it will disappear. i have not been able to find any permanent resolution.

Hi everyone,

It seems like Network Solutions expects their customers to customize their PHP with a php.ini file in order to be able to use the (perfectly harmless) base64_decode function.

This forum post goes into details, but please note that it's dated Dec 2008, so the php.ini file given there may not be current:

Please contact Network Solutions and ask them for instructions on how to configure PHP to allow the use of the base64_decode function.
All the best,
Chris

zip222 and markr,

Could either of you provide me with FTP details? I'm thinking we might be able to solve this with CMS Builder...

If so, please submit a [url http://www.interactivetools.com/support/]Second Level Support Request[/url] with a comment mentioning my name and this thread URL — thanks! :)
All the best,
Chris
