#47437 [Fbk->Opn]: fsockopen doesn't work with DNS names, only IPs

ID: 47437 User updated by: ogi at triangle dot bg Reported By: ogi at triangle dot bg -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP3 PHP Version: 5.2.9RC2 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Bingo! After uninstalling IPv6 everything works as expected. I remember that I installed IPv6 for XP and after that I didn't used Drupal. Today I updated Drupal and fell into this problem. I don't know if this is PHP problem or some underlining library (XP bug?). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:11:28] pajoye@php.net what's about IPv6? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:05:52] ogi at triangle dot bg C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts contains 127.0.0.1 localhost and other entries are irrelevant to this case. This happened after some Drupal updates but I can't see how this can influence PHP itself - the above PHP example is isolated from Drupal framework. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:03:53] pajoye@php.net Can you check that you do not have IPv6 enabled (it is not in xp Pro afaict)? I think it is enabled and your host file should have a line like: ::1 locahost ..other hosts... comment it out and be sure that the ipv4 127.0.0.1 aliases are in place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:00:27] ogi at triangle dot bg 'localhost' and system host names (both short host name and FQDN) behave like already described. I've just found out that other host names that are not the local system work fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 16:02:13] pajoye@php.net Any hostname or only localhost? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
