hi,

when i try to update oxwall with the integrated updater in admin-menu, OW shows me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ftp_connect() in /customers/e/0/1/************/ow_utilities/ftp.php on line 175

ftp-host, ftp-username, ftp-password & port is correct. what can i do? :(

My first guess would be that your web host did not have PHP installed with the --enable-ftp option. You could run a page with the phpinfo(); function and search the resulting output for "ftp" and see whether or not it's enabled.

This would require re-installing PHP, this time including the --enable-ftp configuration option. If you are running this on a web host you do not control, then you will have to contact the host's administrator to see if they're even willing to do this (if not, then you may have to consider moving to another host). If you have control of the system, then the actual procedure will be dependent upon what platform/OS you're running under.
