We seem to returning errors on multiple different calls to external websites where a server side call no longer returns any information. For example, on our admin homepage, we receive this error:
An unexpected error occurred attempting to download the current ExpressionEngine version number. Please visit your Download Account to verify you are on the current version. If this error persists, please contact your system administrator
We also receive an error when trying to process an HTTP_REQUEST.
Also a simplexml_load_file:
simplexml_load_file(http://www.website.com/statistics/index.xml) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
Filename: libraries/Functions.php(680) : eval()‘d code Line Number: 126 A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity
A soap call:
$result_array = $soapclient->call(‘CreateUser’, $params );
nothing is returned (result_array is set to “false”)
Is there some setting that we could have turned on/off to make these errors occur? Why can we no longer return data from external websites? We thought the issue might be with our version so we upgraded from 2.3 to 2.5 and still the errors are occurring.
