Can anyone shed some light on the following problem?
I have three areas of web space on Freeola servers 2, 6 and 8.
On server 8 I have some graphics that I need to access from the other two servers. Before attempting to include the required graphics a check, using the php function 'fopen', is made to see if the file exists (if it doesn't a default graphic is used).
The code on server 2 works as expected, ie it finds the file, opens it and then closes it.
The code on server 6 is identical but generates a 'failed to open stream: Permission denied in /freeola/ users/ 6/ 9/ srnumber/ htdocs/ path/ functions.php on line xxx'
The thing that is puzzling me is that it works from one server but not the other. Any suggestions/ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Yep that's good enough for me. If you could send me the site details (domain, sr number and your name and address) using the link under my avatar then I will set this up for you and email you details on how to continue.
Hi Eccles, thanks for your quick response!
We need the fsocketopen function to integrate our site with PayPal's Instant Payment Notification service. We sell digital goods on our site and need to confirm with PayPal that payment has been received and has cleared before we can email the goods automatically to the customer.
I trust this is a good enough reason to move the site? How do we go about doing this please, what's the next step?
Thanks for your assistance in this matter!

This has already been suggested. I believe it was intended that outbound connections would not be allowed but is seems slightly different configurations were used on some servers when they were upgraded. The ones that do allow fopen haven't been closed off as we have moved several customers to these servers now.
Please be aware that we will only move your site if you can prove it's absolutely necessary and moving your site will make it unavailable for a short period while the DNS updates.

I am having similar problems with the fsockopen function.
As far as I am aware the fix to this problem is to simply to activate "HTTPD scripts to connect to the network" in the SELinux.ini file.
Can you please run this by the server engineers Eccles and see whether this change can be implemented on all servers. If not I am afraid it looks like you may have to move my site gladiatustools.com to server 2 also!
Although it does seem very strange that your servers are set up differently!
Please advise, thank you! :)

I've replied to your message via email but in case you read this first:
Moving your site from one server to another will not effect your email accounts. You will simply have a new webspace folder with a different SR number. Email accounts are not linked to this.

Ah really sorry, must have missed the message in the pile, will check tomorrow and get back to you.
Hi Eccles,
I sent you a private message last week, but have not heard back. I am on server 5. If I were to migrate to another server on Freeola, this presumably would mean that all 'sr' numbers would change too, including email addresses?
If this is the case, it's not an option as I have so many email addresses attached to this domain.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Eccles. I have just found this thread and I too need outbound http access for a script. But it's being blocked.
What is the status of getting things opened up?
Thanks.
