Warning: fsockopen()

Every time I publish an article I get this error message.
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to textpattern.com:80 (Permission denied) in /home/www/xxx.com/textpattern/lib/IXRClass.php on line 671

I click Save again and it disappears.
It happens from any computer in any location.
I recently changed permanent link mode option, but don’t know if that is related. Using 4.3.0

Any suggestions gratefully received

Re: Warning: fsockopen()

Sorry to bump this back up but I’m now getting this error message across my Textpattern sites upgraded to 4.4.1. Nothing to do with link mode options. I’d really appreciate some advice. Thanks

Hi David

Re: Warning: fsockopen()

Your Textpattern installation tries to ping Textpattern.com (as set in preferences), and the connection fails for a reason or another; likely your hosting provider isn’t allowing fsockopen() to do remote connections.

That particular error appearance should go away if you disable pinging. To disable pinging, go to Advanced Preference panel (Admin/Preferences/Advanced) and set the Ping textpattern.com? option to No. Now the message should go away.

Disabling pinging obviously won’t allow you to do remote connection with fsockopen() (i.e. fix the actual cause), it just makes that particular error go away. If you need remote connections, you will have to talk with your hosting provider or open up the server’s configuration.

Re: Warning: fsockopen()

Many thanks, Gocom – that’s solved the error message. Sorry to sound thick, but how might not being able to have a remote connection with fsockopen() affect the day-to-day operation of the site?

Fortunately, no. Feeds do not require to make outgoing connections.

language files update

Correct, automatic language file updating won’t work, neither will anything else that requires the RPC class, like the update checks and pinging.

You can still update language files manually by downloading the file from rpc.textpattern.com/lang and placing it to /textpattern/lang directory tho.
