ID: 8754 Updated by: sniper Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Feedback Bug Type: Network related Operating System: Linux 2.2.16 (RH7) PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: First, update to PHP 4.0.6. Then try both gethostbyname() and gethostbynamel() to see if either works. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 16:03:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ooops, I read that too fast. Ok, so it works on the command line, but not in PHP. Does this still happen in the current version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-21 21:03:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please make sure that you're DNS server is setup correctly and you have access to it and the internet. Try running "netconfig" as root from a prompt. Also, try running linuxconf and make sure the order in which hostnames are setup is correct (i recommend "hosts,dns") Also, try upgrading to the latest version of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-17 03:53:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When trying to resolv the ip address of a hostname given in /etc/hosts, gethostbyname() works fine. It does NOT work when trying to resolv an ip address which must be looked up via the DNS server though. In the latter case, gethostbyname($hostname) always returns $hostname, i.e. it behaves like the hostname does not exist. However, doing a command line nslookup, the hostname is found, so it DOES exist. The problem occurs with version 4.0.4pl1 (compiled on the target system) as well as with version 4.0.1pl2 that comes with RedHat 7.0. I'm using kernel version 2.2.16 and a vanilla (i.e. non-updated) RedHat 7.0. Thanks in advance... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8754&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
