XAMPP & fsockopen

Postby swt4ajp » 05. December 2014 09:00

Hey everyone!

I have just migrated from IIS7 to XAMPP and am facing an issue where I am told that fsockopen is not enabled
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=466&t=2280361#p13840416

I have gone through everything online and it is still not working
I am using the latest version of XAMPP on w2k8r2
http://gamesunited.eu/test.php

btw I am very confident in making changes, but I am still fairly a newbie when it comes to web design and coding :oops:

Please help!

I don't see any hint that fsockopen is not enabled on your system.

You are running your Server within CloudFlare, i dont know how this is working, but it kind of protects your site and i think, that is the reason for the blocking of outgoing port.

I have been playing around with the config files trying to get it to work.
One thing that I have managed to do was setup a test page that calls another site and if available it returned http://gamesunited.eu/test.php/

Code: Select all
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.google.com:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in J:\GamesUnited\test.php on line 4
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (10060)


I am only following this route as the guys over on the phpbb boards said that because of the update error I am recieving is due to fsockopen not being open :S

Re-Check version · More information »

This is the only thing that I have been given to go on and have received no further help. This has only happened since I switched from IIS7 to Xampp for the PhpbbSEO extention to get it to work :( so really for one thing to work i have broke something else lol just my luck :(
And also I switched routers recently but that I think I might of forgotton some of the previous settings that I setup and I dont think that I have configured it correctly :(
but these 3 things are literally the only things that I can go off :(

Hi nobbie,

I will be able to go out on a limb and say that it isnt due to the switch to move behind cloudflare as this happened before I switched over to cloudflare.

How the setup is:
My server (home) serving the website - Cloudflare (dns provider for Ns records) - client machine (end user)
so pretty much cloudflare is just a ns server for me to use. and it gives me a more detailed analystics of page view, unique visitors blardy blar blar :p
I have got the settings all down low as not to disrupt anything else from working :)

I have also noticed that recently my blog http://blog.gamesunited.eu has started with script execution time out errors as well now :(

This could either be really fun for some people and really annoying for others lol!
