PHP cURL: Error 7 - couldn't connect to host

[Miguel Quintal]

Hi, 

I have a simple PHP script (working for a year) using cURL and  some days ago stop working.

I don't know why I've already search about this error and somebody told me that its because some firewall is blocking the request.

I me localhost this script are working well in appfog don't.

$url = 'www.mydomain.com';
$cURL = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$rresult = curl_exec($cURL);

echo "-".curl_errno($cURL)."<br>";

echo "-".curl_error($cURL)."<br>";

curl_close($cURL);

OUTPUT;

- 7 

- couldn't connect to host

Someone can help me.

Thank you!

I have a similar problem into an app under appfog (node.js); starting
from last 10 hours I get a lot (99.9% of the times) a timeout error,
looks like we can't access any external resource from appfog network.
Which server are you using? I use the eu amazon ones, and my app is
under paid profile...

Same issue here. Curl cannot access anything on Internet. I'm a paying customer on the higher tiers. I'll mail support and see whats going on.

[Tommie Podzemski]

All apps on AWS-EU btw.

yes, also I sent an email to the support, but I didn't received any
feedback... :(

[Matthijs Jansen]

I have the same problem since two days or something. (At least that's when I mentioned it...) I tweeted @AppFogHelp but they don't reply. I've also sent an email just now.

[Miguel Quintal]

Please when you something about this problem tell us. I've my application stopped for two days!

Thanks a lot I was thinking the problem is mine.

[Tommie Podzemski]

I'm on priority support, so i'll report back here when i hear from them.

I have a paid plan, and I sent an email to the support yesterday, but
I don't get any answer, I'm planning to move my apps away and request
back my money!

I have similar related problem.

I use simplexml_load_file for retrieving two RSS feeds. All of sudden this stopped working. Results is that PHP page tries to obtain RSS for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds default connection reset is done by PHP server.

I have tried to workaround the issue without results

Does anybody experience same behaviour on other infrastructures or only AWS-EU?

[Tommie Podzemski]

I've been in touch with the support now. It's a problem and they're working on fixing it. Also, this only affects AWS-EU.

Good afternoon

We've isolated the issue. It's only on EU-AWS, but our ops team discovered a bit ago, that one of the cloud controllers failed to come back up properly after a recent restart. We've restarted the processes and would like for you guys to try again, please? And let us know if you still have issues or if it's working correctly either way. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this. And if I don't get a chance to get back in here, please feel free to send a ticket to support:   sup...@appfog.com

Tracy, thanks for reply. I have restarted my app, but still the following page isn't loading fast: http://kenteken.tv/blog.php (it uses a function to retrieve a RSS feed)

Problem is still not solved for my webapp. To be more precisely what i would expect on page http://kenteken.tv/blog.php. It should load a RSS feed and show last 10 titles of blogpostings. None of them are shown currently.

[Luca Morettoni]

I have the same issue after a restart; I hope to receive a discount
for the next month payment... I just loose a costumer for this
issue...

[sappollo]

Restarting cloud controllers of EU-AWS didn't solve the problem of my PHP webapp connecting with external RSS sources.

 

Eg. the page http://www.kenteken.tv/laatstekenteken.php should show last issued licenseplate of The Netherlands. This fails currently

 

Could you relook to this cloud controller again by your ops team?

After struggling for two days, I moved my application to Openshift, perforce.

[Albert Xu]

I've been experiencing this for about 2 weeks. I've spent a lot of time debugging my code and finally admitted that it should be an AppFog issue.

[António Azevedo]

Hi,

I also have this issue. I'm using PHP's file_get_contents function and it takes a very long time, eventually returning false.

[Miguel Quintal]

Hi,

I've already try with file_get_contents and CURL but didn't work too.

I thing this problem have more than four days, and still. In my case the application isn't enterprise but for users with enterprise solutions is very bad.

Hi guys

We had to restart EU earlier today (at 3:30pm PST) and it's back up again, but we've still got the issue with Port 80 being blocked. We're looking in to it and we're in communication with AWS about it. We should know more hopefully in the morning. As soon as I have the go ahead to post anything, or, at the very least, let you guys know what we know when we know it, we will.

[Shikhar Sethi]

any update on this?

[Tommie Podzemski]

Looks like its back now. After over 216 hours of downtime. 

[Matthijs Jansen]

It's working again! Finally!

[derek]

I've got a couple of node.js apps that were down for the same reason (AWS EU). They're back up now.

Anyone else experiencing those problems again?

They seem to be back.

[Miguel Quintal]

My app never works well after problem begins.
