RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: can't get fsockopen() to work through IIS

This is almost surely a permissions problem. By default IIS will run as a very low privileged user. I suggest in the IIS configuration you try and run the vhost as your login user on the Windows machine and see what happens. Make sure your php.ini has fcgi.impersonate=1 Andi > -----Original Message----- > From: Evan Burkitt [mailto:evanb@edulinksys.com] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 4:07 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: can't get fsockopen() to work through IIS > > "Elizabeth M Smith" <auroraeosrose@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:7B.96.19022.99709F84@pb1.pair.com... > > Take out the @ in front of fsockopen and see what the actual error is > > would be the first step - it's generally a good idea to have E_ALL on > > and all @ operators removed when trying to debug something > > > > Thanks for your reply, Elizabeth.
