inet_pton() issue

Can you do me a favor? I need to know your hosting provider and get a screenshot of your system info (link to view it near bottom of options page). Include the link to the screenshot.

And I need to know what version of WordPress you are using.

Hi Tim,

I’m on WP 4.2.2.

The host is Brinkster (https://www.brinkster.com)

I didn’t see the system info link, but here’s some relevant information…

PHP v5.2.17
Config File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINDOWS

Hi Tim

I haven’t yet upgraded to 6, but I get the exact same message as techspring when I try to access my website, which has totally crashed. I can’t access my dashboard or anything at all.

I’m also on WordPress 4.2.2 and on a Windows server. My service provider is Net Logistics at https://www.netlogistics.com.au

From my Google Analytics, it looks like the website crashed within the last hour or so ie some time after 5pm Sydney time on 21/5/15.

Hi Tim,

I have 3 servers running WP sites with WF, 1 updates ok, / 1 gives a white screen of death after update – fix is to delete the WF plug in folder, & 1 returns the inet_pton() error, again delete WF plug in and all back running.

All 3 servers are Windows.

The inet_pton() error is on a server running W2K3, [soon to be shut down ]. . .

The one that works after updating runs Helicon Ape, this may be a coincidence . . .

hope this is of help to you

I have posted this on another thread, but it is only those sites on Windows hosting that have been affected by this problem for.

Updating to the latest version of Wordfence on Linux isn’t an issue.

Hi Tim

A quick update. It seemed weird that I was experiencing this problem without having updated the plugin, so I checked the readme.txt file on the server and sure enough it’s for v6.0.2 I’m really scratching my head about that because I didn’t do it, or if I did I don’t know when or how.

I have also posted this in another thread:

I’m experiencing the exact same error code today (since the update). But it’s not every domain for me.

I have 30+ domains across 5 different hosting packages (international hosting). Only the domains on my Windows based hosting are experiencing this issue. My other 4 hosting accounts (Linux) are fine.

All installations are on WordPress 4.2.2, and Wordfence 6.0.2. Some of the sites have the exact same themes/plugins too. Renaming the Wordfence plugin folder removes the error and allows access to the site/admin area.

The same error and server is hosted on windows

site is offline

Version 6.0.3 is out. Please update and reply back as to your status.

Hi Tim

Upgrade successful, back online and seemingly everything ok. I’ll update if anything else pops up.

Thanks for the prompt upgrade and a great product!

Randall

It’s working for me also. Thanks for putting out a great product.

Thank you Tim, all working well again.
