PHP SOAP Connect to Host error

[msimonds]

Anyone that may have insight, I am in need of assistance.

I wrote a script which connects to a SOAP Service and gets data. The php scripts run fine on my Windows environment and a Mac envrionment. On both of these environmenst:

it runs fine from the browser, it runs fine from a CRON job, it runs fine from the command line

BUT

when I place the script on a linux server and run it from the browser or CLI, it fails with:

[faultstring] => Could not connect to host
[faultcode] => HTTP

The scripts are identical
The modules on local host and on the server are identical

localhost php version 5.3.0
Linux server 5.2.9

Any help would be appreciated!!

Forgot to add that the script will run for sometime before it fails and add records to the MySQL database as it does on my localhost, but it runs until completion on my locahost.

Sounds like firewall, DNS or other network related problems.

To rule out DNS, replace any domain name with the actual IP address instead. It's possible that SoapFault would have told you "failed to resolve host name" in this case, but I don't know what error messages it really uses.
