Hi thanks for getting back.
The host has confirmed that fsockopen is enabled, but it can’t be used to open a connection that loops back to the same server where the script itself is running from.
The site is on a staging server whilst it is being built. Where I have adjust my hosts file to read the staging server as the active domain – thus making the publishing more straight forward – without having to update links etc…
Could this be the issue?
The host is HEARTINTERNET
Many thanks
