I'm willing to sacrifice young lambs at this stage. Okay, pull out ethereal and netstat -a to see what connections are being tried/attempted/whatever. Maybe even tcpdump to see what is going back and forth. If all else fails, here's a TOTAL HACK: Write a PHP script on some other server that connects back to the first server and opens the socket and does whatever you need it to do. Now have your script connect to the other server and use its sockets to do what you need. This is clearly *NOT* a Good Idea for a long-term solution, but could get you past this hump long enough to survive, and maybe even make you realize just why the same-machine system doesn't work. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
