"PHP Upgraded on the freeola servers"

Just a quick announcement that PHP 4 has been upgraded on the Freeola Webservers to version 4.4.8, this should not impact on the use of the servers as is basically a security and bugfix update to the version that was already on the servers.

As ever if you are experiencing issues on the servers, you can post here or place a support ticket at http://freeola.com/support/request/ for us to investigate.

Thanks for the update :¬)

I don't use a lot of php, but the bits I use still seem to work!


It might be worth mentioning again that you are also running PHP5 for the PHP users amongst us ?!?
Unless I've lost the plot - Freeola are currently running both PHP4 and 5. I've just checked the PHP Essentials help page and can't seem to find it any info on this.

Sorry if this is just me ;¬) I've had a closer look and found it!

I believe this is what you were looking for.

It has details of both PHP4 and 5 versions we are currently running across all of our webservers.

Thanks for that.

NB. The PHP Essentials page still mentions PHP 4.3.7

It's showing 4.4.8 for me...

What happens if you ctrl+f5 it?

Morning, I'm still getting:

"...Like HTML pages, all files are uploaded into your 'htdocs' directory.

Freeola's servers currently support [b]PHP 4.3.7.[/b]"

Ah now I see where you mean.

This has been passed to the Web Content guys and has now been amended :)

I've lost all RSS functionality with vBulletin:


RSS Poster Robot

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.next-gen.biz:80 in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 95

Warning: Unable to fetch RSS Feed in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 223

Next Generation News Unable to open URL or no data returned


Any suggestions?

Can't help much I'm afraid, but...

Are you sure the problem is at your Freeola site end?
From the errors you've posted (to me) it looks like the problem could be with the remote site.


Sorry I couldn't help more, hopefully someone who's familiar with vbulletin will be along soon.

Have you been using fsockopen() successfully in the past? Doing a search on these forums I'm not sure if that function was available?

That was my initial thought, however it's any RSS feed I attempt to run, and it appears to have coincided with the php upgrade. I'm still looking into it, however a few things I've read over suggest that I need fsockopen to be able to connect to
remote servers.

Some further info:
