Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to - will not stay fixed

[rkenney]

Hello,

I get this error on a couple of my servers:
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ....


It is fixed once I do a force update to cpanel but then about 2 hours later the error comes back. I have tried several different versions.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am running:

• CENTOS 6.7 x86_64 standard

• WHM 11.52.0 (build 15)

Hello ,

Can you please let us know where are you getting this error ?

I think firewall is causing this issues. Please try to disable server firewall and check this again.

Hi,

It seems it's on every site that is trying to contact a license server. This server is running 5.3 which I know is EOL but it is what it is. I thought it was the firewall so I have tried it with the firewall off and it's still happening. If I do a cpanel update it will work for a while but then it stops again.

Hello

Could you elaborate on this? For instance, where in particular do you see the error message, and how do you reproduce it?

Thank you.
