 * Hi,
 * I’ve installed your plugin, got it all setup but it wont work for me.
 * When I add a file and click upload using the Curl Authorisation method, I get
   a couldn’t connect to host issue.
 * When i use PHP oAuth i just get a 🙂 returned, same thing with PEAR.
 * Can you advise?

 * PEAR and PERL oAuth probably don’t work since most hosts don’t allow you to override
   php.ini to include files… if CURL is unable to connect to the host its likely
   your host did not compile Apache with CURL SSL which is required since dropbox
   will not accept unsecure connections or there is some kind of firewall in place
   that is blocking the outgoing connection. Strange you were able to authorize 
   it in the admin though and not able to upload a file from the front end. What
   host are you on?
