Summary: allow_url_fopen off on php.ini RSS error

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to add an RSS Feed with the RSS Feed module.
I recieve this error:

"
Error

Your PHP configuration value "allow_url_fopen" is set
to "Off" before any feeds will work, you need to change
the value of "allow_url_fopen" to On in php.ini. If you
do not understand this message, please contact your
system administrator for assistance. Note: This setting
can only be set in php.ini due to security reasons.
"

I am the system administrator, he doesn't know the answer.

OK, so I added this allow_url_fopen = On to my php.ini
file which is located in the root folder (where
index.php is located), is this not the correct thing to
do??

Nothing happened. Nothing changed in phpinfo.php either.
Tried varients: allow_url_fopen On , allow_url_fopen =
On On , allow_url_fopen = True.... etc.

Everywhere I look on the net, "just add that to the
php.ini file" but nothing happens. Tried adding it to
the core.php, that didn't do the trick either.

I tried doing the same thing awile ago with upping the
"memory_limit = 50M" to 65M and it didn't alter
anything either, so I stuck it into the core.php USER
EDIT area as memory_limit = 65M and it worked. But
doesn't work for allow_url_fopen.

The phpMyAdmin doesn't seem to have any such options
for changing these settings - or does it, somewhere?
But, that would be a security hole doing it any other
way than with php.ini, no?
