Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=11058&edit=1 ID: 11058 Comment by: piet at ibuildings dot nl Reported by: pat at mail dot rit dot edu Summary: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Network related Operating System: OpenBSD 2.6 PHP Version: 4.0.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Today I had a problem resolving google.com, I got the following error msg: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No address associated with hostname Using the default Fedora 22 packages: Apache/2.4.16 (Fedora) PHP 5.6.13 (cli) (built: Sep 3 2015 12:18:26) When I started my pc in de morning I had no issues resolving a hostname. Somewhere during the day it went wrong. Restarting Apache solved the problem. How can be addressed as 'Not a bug'!? It took 1 hour of my time figuring out that a basic PHP function was failing me.

With the following line: file_get_contents("www.google.com"); If I run it in the command line, it works fine. If I run it through apache I get the getaddrinfo failed error. I am using Arch Linux, Kernel 3.3.7. My temporary work around is to do a full stop and start of Apache. Restarting the service does not solve the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
