Okay, I made sure that allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include are both "on". Verified via phpinfo(); Still no luck. :-\ However, this sparked an idea... I have been using my WinXP and IE to hit my Gentoo notebook running apache2/php/etc. (samba mounting the /home/machine/... to edit the files) When I fired up KDE and hit the EXACT same pages (which are now local), they magically worked! So now the question is, what setting do I have to change in my php.ini file to get remote requests to work? > alternatively you may think soap.wsdl_cache_enabled is Off > but actually its being > turned On somewhere? It's off in the php.ini file, also specifically turned off in each server.php file.
