Dynamic signature, doesn't work, appears blank Options

[forger]

Hello, it looks like my php signature isn't working :\ I have only some/none knowledge of php, I can easily edit what is necessary though. I used the default script and I can't make it work
I have a free webhosting php service by dotgeek, and checked the http://dotgeek.org/phpinfo.php where it looks like it supports what is necessary (I think)

http://forger.dotgeek.org/np/signature.php/sig.png appears blank.

the chmod is done through cpanel:
base_image.jpg 2 k 0644
base_image.png 1 k 0644
impact.ttf 132 k 0644
lucon.ttf 112 k 0644
npvars.txt 0 k 0666
signature.php 4 k 0777

the folder np is:
np 755

I change songs, restart winamp, but the npvars.txt remains the same:

title=Configure AMIP to update the signature
album=Not Configured
bitrate=000
time=00m:00s
mode=None
year=0000
sr=00

secretword is ok,
the amip configurator is working great in mirc, tested it.

In preset #1 i set this (and it's active):
/template:(c:\amipweb\amipweb.conf) c:\amipweb\amipweb.out
/exec:(c:\amipweb\curl.exe) -K amipweb.out

the amipweb.out is changed successfully:
# Configuration file for cURL
# URL of the signature.php script:
url = http://forger.dotgeek.org/np/signature.php
# use HTTP GET
-G
# list of parameters to pass:
-d "title=Andre+-+without+your+love"
-d "album=Armenia+2006"
-d "bitrate=128"
-d "time=03m%3A01s"
-d "mode=Stereo"
-d "year=2006"
-d "sr=44"

the only problem looks like it can't reach the website, or maybe something is not supported.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/workarounds

Try running c:\amipweb\curl.exe -K amipweb.out from the command line to see what is the problem.

Thanks for your support, I get this error:

>c:\amipweb\curl.exe -K amipweb.conf
curl: no URL specified!

the config file:

# Configuration file for cURL
# URL of the signature.php script:
url = http://forger.dotgeek.org/np/signature.php
# use HTTP GET
-G
# list of parameters to pass:
-d "title=Fabrizio+Faniello+-+I+Do"
-d "album=Malta+2006"
-d "bitrate=192"
-d "time=02m%3A44s"
-d "mode=Stereo"
-d "year=2006"
-d "sr=44"
# our signature.php script needs action=secretword to save parameters
# Change the 'secretword' to something else for the security reasons
# Make sure that $config['action'] value in signature.php equals the following
# action value ('secretword' by default):
-d "action=changedword"

oh, the ampsig from ampsig.com works fine: http://forger.dotgeek.org/ampsig/amp.php/stars.jpg

You need to run it in amipweb directory, otherwise curl will not find the config file. CD to amipweb first, and then run.

true, silly of me, no error here, i used -v as well

C:\amipweb>curl.exe -v -K amipweb.out

note that the secretword is not the one displayed here.

I have no idea what's wrong, try checking your server logs.

195.252.*.* - - [22/May/2006:12:46:05 +0000] "GET /np/signature.php?title=Fabrizio+Faniello+-+I+Do&album=Malta+2006&bitrate=192&time=02m%3A44s&mode=Stereo&year=2006&sr=44&action=changedword HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "-" "curl/7.10.3 (win32) libcurl/7.10.3"

It's really weird!

the ampsig works differently, yet it uses the same curl:

195.252.*.* - - [22/May/2006:12:47:34 +0000] "POST /ampsig/amp.php HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "-" "curl/7.10.3 (win32) libcurl/7.10.3"

Try changing config file to use POST method instead of GET.
