Reported By: support at hostcolor dot com
Status: Feedback
Bug Type: Sockets related
Operating System: RedHat 7.2
PHP Version: 4.3.3RC2-dev
New Comment:
Each "ports are filtered or open" line is with respect to the client PC
(target PC), and not the server that PHP is installed.
Scenario A:
- ports are filtered (closed or stealth)
- PHP 4.2.3 is installed
Scenario B:
- ports are open
- PHP 4.2.3 is installed
Scenario C:
- ports are filtered (closed or stealth)
- PHP 4.3.x is installed
Scenario D:
- ports are open
- PHP 4.3.x is installed
Ok, under both Scenario A and B, no "fsockopen()..." error is
generated.
Under both Scenario C and D, the "fsockopen()..." error is displayed.
Clearly what worked 100% of the time in 4.2.3, no longer functions in
4.3.x. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now.

This is propably stupid question..but why shouldn't fsockopen() give an
error when it fails to connect???
Obviously that's what is happening here? :)

I am not the original submitter of the bug but I was contacted by mr.
Paul Laudanski and also by seeing the number of comments it seems that
the problem is still there. We certainly found no solution as nothing
else but reverting to 4.2.3 helped.
best regards and good luck

HI folks, welcome back. So, what is the status? Those errors are
still there.

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.

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). What do
your tests show now with the current snapshot? ...*

Thanks
