USPS module error in http_client.php

[mrguytx]

I have my new userid and pwd from USPS and am trying to test.

I have pointed it to "test" and enabled the module, however I get this error at the top of my page when I go to shipping:

 

Warning: fsockopen, pfsockopen, mysql_list_dbs, mysql_stat, ini_get, ini_get_all, ini_alter, ini_set, get_current_user, get_defined_constants, get_include_path, php_ini_scanned_files, php_uname, phpcredits, phpinfo, restore_include_path, set_include_path, set_time_limit, version_compare, zend_version, getmyinode, getmypid, getmyuid, getmygid, getopt, getrusage, assert_options, assert, dl, mysql_pconnect, shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/content/e/l/e/elea/html/includes/classes/http_client.php on line 330

 

line 330 reads:

  if (!$this->socket = fsockopen($host, $port, $this->reply, $this->replyString)) {
         return false;

 

any idea where to troubleshoot this? yes, I have read all the forum posts I can find about USPS. Thanks for any help.

I've seen before where some hosting providers will disable fsockopen() for security reasons. Best check w/your provider.

I will do that.

 

Just for grins, does anyone else here host at GODADDY?

I used to. Have since moved to LunarPages. Much better bang for the buck. Better support, MUCH less downtime, I could go on and on . . .

Thanks for the tip.

How hard was it to move? Did godaddy just let you move on without charging you a bundle of $$$?
