RE: [PHP] remote fopen not working, despite allow_url_fopen = on

Alex, Either the domain you are trying to fetch data is unknown or your resolver settings do not point to a regular resolving server.

It worked all great till i noticed that the remote fopen()/file() did not work. allow_url_fopen is set to "On" and the httpd-error.log shows this error message: [Thu Feb 15 14:15:42 2007] [error] [client xxx] PHP Warning: file() [<a href='function.file'>function.file </a>]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: hostname nor servname provided, or not known in /home/domains/x/xxx/tmp/remote.php on line 2 [Thu Feb 15 14:15:42 2007] [error] [client xxx] PHP Warning: file( http://google.com/) [<a href='function.file'>function.file</a>]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in /home/domains/x/xxx/tmp/remote.php on line 2 A lynx from the server to google.com works. Then i put google.com in the /etc/hosts file and i got this message: [Thu Feb 15 14:19:47 2007] [error] [client xxx] PHP Warning: file( http://google.com/) [<a href='function.file'>function.file</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /home/domains/x/xxx/tmp/remote.php on line 2 With curl i can fetch remote content, but i have to put the domainname in the hosts file. Verry strange!? Here my test file: <?php var_dump(file('http://google.com/')); ?> phpinfo and configure.log of the freebsd-ports is attached Thanks in advance! Alex
