function php "fsockopen"

[Ferik]

hello,

but the php function "fsockopen" (for script statistics) is disabled on the free servers?

Thanks!

Hi,

The free servers accept any requests - if the script isn't working then it's your webhost that's blocking it and not us. You may wish to contact them, but they don't always help.

My hosting service is a disaster, it is likely that the function have blocked them, now try again Thanks

Hi,

You might be interested to know that this is the reason that we have the Javascript codes in there as well as the PHP ones. A lot of hosts block fsockopen, but the javascript gets around that as our own servers are used to get the data

Gavin, I did a simple test with another webradio (Bassdrive) and I came to the conclusion that your server does not accept requests via php script, fsockopen and CURL.

TEST HERE (identical scripts) :

Hi,

Our server does accept any requests for stats.

Have you checked that your server is actually online? If so then the chances are that there's some kind of issue stopping the connection getting through.

If you are able to, then it may be a good idea to run a traceroute from the web server to s1 (or ask your webhost if they will).

Hi Gavin,
confirm the error in my web hosting. I tried using a local server to collect statistics and it works fine (localhost <-s1.myradiostream.com). I have not the faintest idea what the blocks from my server to your .... it's a mystery

Thank you
