Probably because in your new system it has this in your php.ini file
allow_url_include = Off
Change it to this
allow_url_include = On
Restart your webserver and it should probably work just fine.
You might also want to check into this option too.
allow_url_fopen = Off
Change it to
allow_url_fopen = On
if you would like to allow the opening of remote files via
fopen/file_get_contents/etc...
