Validating Downloads from Admin... fsockopen() error

Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:18 pm

Not really a bad error since I validated by frontend (e.g., tried to download) that all download do work. No users have reported download errors (e.g., broken downloads).

BUT...

When I use the validate function from the admin panel on downloads, for any or all I get:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.hireamerica.us:80 in /mnt/web_g/d06/s37/b01cc19b/www/admin/modules/download.php on line 1079

I don't have a line editor, but since I can search for '80' I got the following lines:

Quote:

$fp = fsockopen($vurl['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 15);
if (!$fp){
echo "<tr><td align=\"center\">  " . _FAILED . "  </td>"
."<td>  <a href=\"$url\" target=\"new\">$title</a>  </td>"
."<td align=\"center\">  [ <a href=\"admin.php?op=DownloadsModDownload&lid=$lid\">" . _EDIT . "</a> | <a href=\"admin.php?op=DownloadsDelDownload&lid=$lid\">" . _DELETE . "</a> ]  "
."</td></tr>";
}
if ($fp){
echo "<tr><td align=\"center\">  " . _OK . "  </td>"
."<td>  <a href=\"$url\" target=\"new\">$title</a>  </td>"
."<td align=\"center\">  " . _NONE . "  "
."</td></tr>";
}

So this obviously fails, but is there something I can do to make it not fail...since I know the downloads are working?

Or, am I totally off and this validate should fail if validate is only to validate where a user HAS reported a broken download?

This looks as if your host may not have compiled PHP with socket support. Run a phpinfo() on your site and see if sockets show compiled in.

Well, the compile info shows no "with" and no "without" for sockets.

I did find a MySQL socket setting and a PHP socket setting (60/60) for timeout

I just emailed the hosting company to see... it's PHP 4.3.6 FYI.

If you don't have a line like this, then you don't have socket access.

Code:

         sockets


Sockets Support  enabled

Well, as you now know I definitely have socket access.

Interestinly when I do validate I get "OK" status for all downloads, but the URLs ar not the download URLs.

I was fishing into download.php and saw that if DownloadsValidate is called with $cid=0 and $sid=0 then $result is the query for all the downloads.

$result if $cid==0 && $sid == 0 (check all)
$result2 if $cid!=0 && $sid == 0 (check cats and subcats)
$result3 if $cid=0 && $sid !=0 (check only subcats)

So then we get a while($row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3)) { }...
In this $vurl is set to parse_url($row3['url']);

This would be blank since if you come in with $cid=0 and $sid=0, $result3 is not used...

Should I change all the $resultx to be just $result and then change the while statement to use $result?

Couldn't find this issue elsewhere in the forums.
