#11058 [Com]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed

ID: 11058 Comment by: jeppe at bundsgaard dot net Reported By: pat at mail dot rit dot edu Status: Bogus Bug Type: Network related Operating System: OpenBSD 2.6 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I guess it is connected to the server - the problem occurs on some, but not all the servers running php4.3 that I am using. Anyway it would be nice with a solution that solves the problem independent of the servers - or that tells exactly what is to be done with the server (I know, this is not the place for such a request - but I don't know where to turn to). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-12 21:15:45] cosas at minovela dot com hello, my php is PHP Version 4.3.4 i've exatctly the same problem. my server isn't conected by dialup, and i got ever the message "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed" when i use this line: fsockopen ("dummy_ip", 25, &$errno, &$errstr, 10) it didn't occurs with older versions of php. this IS NOT a server problem, is a problem of PHP, you only need tho make a search at google http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=php+php_network_getaddresses%3A+getaddrinfo+failed&meta= target "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed" and see results, a lot of people get the same errors. i hope you found a solution for this :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-04 10:08:18] fcartegnie dot at dot free dot dot dot fr at null dot null Okay. I identified the problem. When apache starts, php or apache gets dns servers entry from /etc/resolv.conf You're using a dialup connection and when logging in, your dns servers have been added at this later moment. So there's a problem with apache or php to get informed that the content of resolv.conf has been updated. Confirmed for PHP 4.3.1/apache_1.3.27 so. Temporary solution is just to reload apache doing a apachectl stop/start ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 16:27:07] g dot almasi at gigcity dot com Well you can tell I had nothing to do today but beat my head against a wall. But I found a solution! I added my target site to /etc/hosts and restarted apache, and now I can include a page in that target site from a different site. It's Miller Time! <psht, glug glug glug> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 16:20:32] wez@php.net And that is the cause of the problem (and the reason that this report is set to bogus). You need to tell your SuSE box how to resolve the addresses; the SuSE yast tool should let you set the nameserver in it's network configuration. I can't help you any further here, and this is not the place to discuss this further. I'd suggest looking at the SuSE support database for this: it's bound to be a FAQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 15:58:04] g dot almasi at gigcity dot com another note: I have root to another box (it serves about 20 sites to the web) that is also running PHP 4.0.6 and php_network_getaddresses works fine. Does this function require a nameserver? My SuSE 7.3 box is a development machine on my LAN, so I just use proxies to get to it with a browser. Getting DNS, BIND, and DHCP to work was beyond me when I set it up (still is, actually). So I just use a proxy setting for browsers while I build sites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
