 * Every time I enter a Zip or address the application displays this error:”Address
   or zip code not found Error”. After reading through problems others have experienced
   I know that the error is not cause by not making an account with sunlight and
   obtaining an API. I am also aware that it is not a problem with google maps because
   the map changes to that location when I enter an address. Another important piece
   of information is that every time I attempt to update the photos of congress 
   i get this error: “An error occured while updating the Photos” Can you please
   help me with this problem!
    Thank you.

 * I’m sorry you are experiencing this error.
 * #1 There is an activation link inside the email you got from Sunlight Labs. That
   link must be clicked to activate the API.
 * #2 If you have activated the API and you are still having problems, please try
   the following:
 *  Please tell the webmaster of the website to enable allow-url-fopen in php.ini
 *  [http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen](http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen)
 *  Also, disable the cache option for testing, then when allow-url-fopen is enabled
   and CongressLookup works then enable the cache again.
 * Please let me know the results of the above actions.
