Socket connection error: Connection timed out

XbcSharpShooter · Beginner Joined: Sep 23, 2004 Posts: 13

At the top of my gallery in phpnuke in red it says Socket connection error: Connection timed out

http://www.disposalfilms.com/main/modul ... e=Gallery2

it take about 10-15 seconds for the gallery to load each page. My nuke site refreshes and loads quickly but when you go in the gallery it takes 10-15 seconds per page.

Does anybody know what the problem is?

Thanks,
Chris

this is when you're logged in as admin, right? as a normal user, it worked fine for me (loaded in about 3 seconds). the package is trying to check the integration package status, and for some reason, can't connect to my server for the check.

hmm thats wierd. It works fine without loggin in as admin. But is there a way to fix this on my end?

dari

it only performs the check if you're logged in as the admin. if it is a persistent problem, comment out this line in modules/gallery2/index.php:

PHP: › <?php $updateCheck = checkVersion(); ?>

I have the same issue but only every now and then. Would that be an issue that everyone has during periods that part of your server is inaccessible for one reason or another?

possibly. i haven't noticed any downtimes lately, and the uptime counter is at 24 days. it is most likely network issues between your server and mine that are causing the timeouts.

I am having this very issue right now....

is it still occuring? i can check the uptime logs of the server and see if it was down at the time you posted this...

FWIW, I'm also seeing this error here and there as an admin user. It's not all the time, just once in a while. Might be NukeSentinel blocking it - still digging.

Also - just a thought (if it's not already done), maybe have the bridge 'phone home' once every 24 hours to check for updates.

check in modules/gallery2/admin/index.php, and tell me what server it's looking for the version file on (search for "fsockopen").

Hmmmm it random times, the script can't connect to your server for the version update. Probably a server issue. Because it can't connect for like 10 minutes, later it works.

dari

which server is it connecting to?

Kickass- I was having this same problem. I'll just comment out the mentioned area and set to go. Thanks!

But before I commented that line of php code that checks, I was also only having the issue onces and a while. More often then not actually, and when it did happen it slow'd everything down.

I'll just manually check for updates. Thanks again!

if it's checking on sourceforge.net, there's not much i can do about it...if it's checking at nukedgallery.net, i'd like to know so that i can pester my host.

The part where you said to look in admin/index.php was looking here for me:

if ($fsock = @fsockopen('nukedgallery.sourceforge.net', 80, $errno, $errstr, 10)) {
