Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-08 05:37:11] avenger@php.net I have this problem on RHEL5 too. My sloved is "chmod 644 /etc/hosts" Simple,but useful for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-27 19:06:52] rowaldru at gpi dot com I am currently on 4.3.8. Has this issue been addressed and fixed in 5.0.1? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-21 14:38:39] webmaster at hg-carstyling dot de ages later, i found a solution, what solves it for me here. the problem seems to base on the name resolution for the remote machine. a typical error while opening a remote file was: ---- Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/carstyling/public_html/newnuke/modules/WebMail/pop3.php on line 70 Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to mx.freenet.de:110 in /home/carstyling/public_html/newnuke/modules/WebMail/pop3.php on line 70 ---- i tryed to reconfigure my named configuration, without any result, to fix this. the problem was solved by adding the following line to my /etc/hosts: 194.97.55.147 mx.freenet.de i have to do this for any remote machine i like to open files on. this is NOT the basic of that problem, but patches arround that. i was not able, to tell my named, to resolv that adress to that ip, so i have to enter that in /etc/hosts . it seems, the problem is the name-resolution domain to ip, as it was discribed already here and on other sources before. over that, it is not a problem of all your php-scripts, you`ve written and were the error comes. just enter the unknown machine to your hosts file and all went fine. i tryed many different configurations of my bind, but was not able, to resolve other top level domains within a full qualified domain name so i feel to say its a bug in bind by isc, but this can also be a security relatet problem. i am open for mail and requests and i am very interrested on the basic solution. regardz :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-16 01:40:43] hachem at phptunisia dot com restart the bind ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-14 22:29:05] neil dot giarratana at lucidus dot net Don't know if this helps at all but on RH9, if I do a "service network restart", all is well again and I don't get that error anymore. Beats the heck out of restarting the whole server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
