Hey List- I'm stumped on a problem. I have the following server: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE apache: 2.2.3 from ports php4: 4.4.4 from ports and varios extensions from port loaded as a module my apache conf file are virtually dentical to a test server housed at our office the problem: the webserver can't do name resolution or hostname lookups. the problem came to light with some PHP scripts which are doing gethostbyname lookups. They aren't working. The scripts work when run from the CLI. Turning on Hostnamelookups doesn't do anything and IP addresses are not being looked up according to my logs. dns works: ping internal and external hosts resolve correctly dig / nslookup of internal and external hosts Perl CGI (on above apache server) work fine and from the command line PHP from the CLI work fin dns doesn't work: PHP gethostbyname / gethostbyaddr calls inside Apache don't work Apache can't do hostnamelookups (yes, i uncommented include/http-defaults.conf) DNS lookups work when looking up files from /etc/hosts I've triple checked resolv.conf, hosts and nsswitch.conf and can't find any issues there. Anyone have the slightest clue as to where the problem could be? How to further troubleshoot? Right now I think it's a Apache "issue", but I haven't the slightest clue as to why.
