in the file, simply press "ctrl + w" and type "allow_url_fopen" and Return, most probably you will come to the explanation first, so repeat the search a couple of times. Now you can change the entry from
allow_url_fopen=0
to
allow_url_fopen=1
press "ctrl + x" and confirm the file save with "y".
Then type
sudo service apache2 restart
This will restart apache so the new php.ini configuration can be loaded. After those steps, you should be able to use file_get_contents externally.

If you can’t find your php.ini file, you will find the path to the loaded php.ini file in the top section of your phpinfo()
