ID: 21653 Comment by: larry at bowenaero dot com Reported By: support at hostcolor dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: RedHat 7.2 PHP Version: 4.3.3RC2-dev New Comment:
I'm also seeing this problem with SquirellMail 1.4.0 since my host upgraded to 4.3.2. SM worked flawlessly before the upgrade. The problem surfaces frequently, but with no obvious pattern. http://BowenAero.com/p.php Any help is appreciated. -LB Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-01 06:38:08] laudanp at yahoo dot com Ok, I disabled any port blocking on my end this morning, and as it turns out I get the same messages as when port blocking was on: Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in /var/www/html/testpaul.php on line 134 Connection Refused: Port 21 used by Nerte 7.8.1. This is odd indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-30 08:27:35] laudanp at yahoo dot com CORRECTION TO THIS: So something is different between the TCP and UDP connections. Now, I'm running these scans from a box that is dropping the probes. Hence, since UDP is connectionless and TCP is connection oriented, the bug may have something to do with this? I haven't tested it on a system that is not running a firewall recently. What do your tests show now with the current snapshot? ------------ CORRECTED VERSION: *... Now, I'm running these scans from the server against a system that is dropping the probes via a firewall. ... I haven't tested it on a system that is not protected by a firewall (or disabled it).

Its the same code, no change, since I started using it prior to PHP 4.2.3. For some reason, it doesn't work with 4.3.x. Now, for my UDP scanner (http://www.computercops.biz/modules.php?name=UDP_Scanner) on PHP 4.3.x I use the following code which works well with either 4.2.3 or 4.3.x: $handle = fsockopen($this-> targetIP, $portNumber, &$errno, &$errstr, 2); For the TCP Scanner (http://www.computercops.biz/modules.php?name=TCP_Scanner), I have this line: $handle = fsockopen($this-> targetIP, $index, $errno, $errstr, $this-> timeout); So something is different between the TCP and UDP connections. Now, I'm running these scans from a box that is dropping the probes. Hence, since UDP is connectionless and TCP is connection oriented, the bug may have something to do with this? I haven't tested it on a system that is not running a firewall recently. What do your tests show now with the current snapshot? Thanks (Phew, this is one elusive bug). P.S. Here is my configure statement: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=../jpeg-6b/ --with-zlib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-29 22:18:07] laudanp at yahoo dot com Hi, thanks for the reply. I'll grab the newest stable source tomorrow morning and give it a try once more. But as of my last comment above, the error message I get is: Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ... Again, I'll test it out again tomorrow with the newest build and report back. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-29 21:27:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS.
