#27509 [Opn->Fbk]: fsockopen() failed with "Addr family not supported by protocol" error

ID: 27509 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: scott at abcoa dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: AIX 4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: Are you 100% sure you made a clean build after reconfiguring php ? (make clean ; make) If yes, please try building latest php5 snapshot as a cli to test your script; it has some runtime intelligence to detect systems with broken network stacks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-08 10:06:30] scott at abcoa dot com In reply to the 3 comments since my last reply. 1) Excuse my typo, so tried again on the tcp with "//" and got an errno with "0" and errstr with "Error 0". The fsockopen() instruction at php.net showed that this meant an error had occur before the fsockopen(). So, tried the "127.0.0.1" without the "tcp://" and got the original error, with "66" and "Addr family not supported by protocol". You know, I did this one test by using the terminal emulator and use the telnet command, "telnet www.google.com 80" and was able to connected successfully and receive data from it. 2) Recompiled the latest CVS snapshot and still get the same error message. 3) Again, recompiled the latest CVS snapshot with "--disable-ipv6" option and still get this same error message. Now I'm a little concern about how much of a time will be spend on this or whether would this be dragged on like months and months or something.

My last working version was 4.2.3 before the upgrade. It sure look like a fsockopen() issue. Enclosed below is the source code that produce the same error result with both the Apache/Browser and the Shell Environment. I tried variety of URL Address and still get the same result, like www.google.com, www.cnn.com, www.php.net, etc... Been trying different ways with the scripts, machine and network and yet get the same result. I tried with and without the "tcp:\\" and still get the same result. (One more thing, could error 66 meant 6 with an one digit, not two??) Reproduce code: --------------- <? //fsockopen("tcp:\\www.google.com",80,$errno,$errstr,30); fsockopen("www.google.com",80,$errno,$errstr,30); echo "\n\n"; echo $errno."\n\n"; echo $errstr."\n\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Should expect to see an successful connection to www.google.com Actual result: -------------- Warning: fsockopen() [http://www.php.net/function.fsockopen]: php_hostconnect: connect failed in <<file path omitted by me>> on line 5 Warning: fsockopen() [http://www.php.net/function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.google.com:80 in <<file path omitted by me>> on line 5 66 Addr family not supported by protocol ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27509&edit=1
