Connection refused in PEAR.php on line 848 (NOT blogg.de)

[Fabien]

Hello,

Since yesterday, I have the famous error "Connection refused in PEAR.php on line 848". And blogg.de is not activated.

An idea?
Thanks, Fabien

Hi!

When do you get this error? Did you host maybe change firewall rules?

I have the error when I save an entry.
I don't think my host changed something, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, Fabien

Hi!

Please ask your hoster. usually it happens when s9y/PHP is no longer allowed to connect to outgoing webservers.

Hi Garvin,

My host says that lines like
include("http://www.other-site.com/page.php")
doesn't function any more and have to be replaced by
$fp = fopen("http://www.other-site.com/page.php", 'r');
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
and that this is the only modification done recently.

Thanks, Fabien

Hi!

Yeah, s9y doesn't do that, it always uses fopen/file_get_contents.

And what else can I do ?

search for line 848 in pear.php and whats written there.

Hi kleinerChemiker,

Line 848 says : trigger_error($this->getMessage(), $this->level);

The problem is probably external to pear.php module. Everything was working fine until last Saturday and my sy9 installation was not changed.

Another information : I have only the problem if s9y is searching for retrolinks.

Cheers, Fabien

Hi!

Your hoster must definitely have changed something that is now breaking.

The only other reason for it would be that you installed a new XML-RPC pinging plugin, changed the Trackback plugin or added any other new services that contact outgoing servers.

But I'm quite sure the server has been changed for different firewalling.
