Warning: fsockopen()
[function.fsockopen]: unable to
connect to http://www.paypal.com:443
(Connection timed out)
This has worked previously? And suddenly has stopped working.
Any ideas?
This is the call:
$fp = fsockopen ('www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
Thanks for any help
According to the error your system is providing, it’s timing out on the outbound connection, are you currently able to connect to http://www.paypal.com on port 443 though something like telnet?
Running something like: telnet http://www.paypal.com 443 from the local box should show if it’s connecting. I strongly suspect that something is blocking port 443 outbound, which is causing your issue, as it’s unlikely that PayPal would block you for use of their IPN services.
