file_get_contents errors on CentOS 5.3
 
Hi, I got a freshly installed CentOS 5.3 box and I'm getting this error:

Code:
file_get_contents(http://www.google.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
Do you guys have any idea what's causing this?

1. I'm guessing you've tried the basics, i.e. you have a working network connection and you can ping www.google.com?

2. Where are you seeing this error? Is this in a log somewhere or in your browser? Can you post more details on your question. Thanks.

Assuming you mean the PHP function file_get_contents(), you need to check your php.ini configuration for:

allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On

If they're set to "Off", change them. And after you make the change(s) restart Apache.

pazzport: yes i tried them. I tried wget-ting the file and I can get the file. Here's the error when I try it on the command line:

Code:
# php -r 'print_r(file_get_contents("http://mirror.facebook.net/centos/timestamp.txt"));'
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(http://mirror.facebook.net/centos/timestamp.txt): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!  in Command line code on line 1
sleddog: I followed your sintructions and it's still the same.
