Our site is running slow when it was moved to another dedicated server where it belongs. I enabled js and css compression in the shape5 template features. when i did, it got errors on the page. i've attached a graphic with the errors. i had to turn the compression off as i didn't want customers seeing that. the site is back to normal now.

is there something else that needs to be done for this to work correctly? the site is http://www.salonandspagalleria.com

Those errors are most likely due to your php permissions being too restrictive.  For the compression to work, it needs to be able to open the files and compress the contents.

The compression is one of the parts of the core framework that I didn't have any involvement in coding, so I've forwarded the notification for this thread to one of the developers who did.

UPDATE:

I've received a response confirming what I thought; your php settings aren't allowing the compression script to create the cache files needed for it to function correctly.

PHP needs to have file write permissions in order to read all the script files and create the "minified" version in the cache folder.

i had the hosting company look at the logs and this is what they sent back to me. they said it isn't the permissions but in the code. i've marked out the folder and url below.

 it appears the issue is being caused by the HTTP wrapper being called from the file open statement:

=======================================================================================

[20-Mar-2014 04:06:34] PHP Warning: fopen(http://www.xxx/wp-content/themes/s5_new_vision/cache/bottom_compression_css.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen[/url]]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/s5_new_vision/vertex/compression/bottom_css_and_js_compression.php on line 269
[20-Mar-2014 04:06:34] PHP Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/s5_new_vision/vertex/compression/bottom_css_and_js_compression.php on line 275
[20-Mar-2014 04:06:34] PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/s5_new_vision/vertex/compression/bottom_css_and_js_compression.php on line 277

=======================================================================================

Unfortunately because this request is being called using HTTP rather than opening the local file, you will not be able to write to it. This is not a restriction imposed by hosting company, but rather one by the PHP language itself. You will instead need to specify the local file path when writing the cached/compressed files.

From the fopen function page on PHP.net:

Quote
If PHP has decided that filename specifies a registered protocol, and that protocol is registered as a network URL, PHP will check to make sure that allow_url_fopen is enabled. If it is switched off, PHP will emit a warning and the fopen call will fail.

That means that the error you are having is caused by a server setting called "allow_url_fopen".  All Vertex releases (including the Joomla ones) use the same files for the compression functions; if it was a problem with the code, it would have already been fixed, as that feature was introduced to Joomla long before WP.

It works fine on every server I have access to for testing, and as I stated above, it is related to a setting that you'll need to enable on your server.

From the fopen function page on PHP.net:

Quote
If PHP has decided that filename specifies a registered protocol, and that protocol is registered as a network URL, PHP will check to make sure that allow_url_fopen is enabled. If it is switched off, PHP will emit a warning and the fopen call will fail.

You may need to ask your host to enable the "allow_url_fopen" PHP setting, if you don't already know how to do it.  PHP configuration can be done a few different ways, depending on the way the host has it set up, so unfortunately, that's the most information I can provide about how to do it.
