Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-07 11:19:20] pajoye@php.net Fix and discussions will go now into the bug #50963. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:16:18] pajoye@php.net no php bug, it tries to contact localhost which was certainly updated to IPv6 ::1, or the server was using IPv6 and not ipv4. In both cases it is not a bug. (bogus) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 17:12:17] ogi at triangle dot bg 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?). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
