Good day, While I am sure most of the readers of the list are finding this conversation amusing, I will still try to explain this a bit better to you.
DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the protocol which translates names into IP addresses. If you supply a computer with a name, it must use DNS (or NetBIOS, or a hosts file, etc.) in order to determine what an IP address is from a name. If you have not correctly configured your machine to use DNS, then your computer will not be able to find the server you are asking it to. The error message you have supplied indicates that this is the problem. >From a command prompt on the server you are trying to run this on, try to ping the server you are trying to reach by name (e.g. "ping www.myserver.com" . If you can not reach the server, then this is the reason. If this is the case, please contact the administrator of your machine/network to correct this problem and take this discussion off the PHP list. ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 1:50 PM To: Darren Gamble; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Using @file Again, this works on some servers and othes not.
