WP HTTP Error: 111 on everything

  • Hi everybody,
    I’m getting HTTP 111 Error (Connection Refused) in every external connection, this meaning even the WP Development Blog and the WP News RSS in my administration dashboard. I have the same error in the Askimet plugin (I can’t configure it, since it can’t connect to askimet server). Same problem also trying to import my old blog from Blogger.
    I don’t understand where is the configuration mistake (fopen is activated in php configuration). Somebody can help me? Thank you!

  • I’m getting exactly the same problems and it doesn’t just effect the dashboard feeds, I am trying to add an RSS feed to my sidebar and I get the same error message there too.

    I am using wordpress 2.8

    Anybody got any solutions?

    Yep! Getting the same error message when attempting to upgrade WordPress to 2.8.1, attempting to upgrade plugins, and on my dashboard panel for Incoming Links.

    Anyone?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

    – renaming the plugins folder via FTP

    – reading https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/279132

    I had this problem before installing any plugin, on a WP “clean installation”. Anyway I tried to deactivate all plugins, but this didn’solve the problem.
    I also switched to default theme, but didn’t change anything (besides, the problem shows up in the admin panel, which shouldn’t be affected by theme problems, I think).
    I’m wondering if it might be some hosting issue, but I checked that allow_url_fopen is on, so I don’t what else to look for.
