Strange issue with file_get_contents

stevebeans

Hello there,

First time posting, I hope you guys can help me with this issue I am having.

I am in the process of transferring my network of blogs from my VPS server to a dedicated box. I am having a little bit of trouble on the dedicated box regarding file_get_contents. Here is the situation:

VPS Box = Box A
New dedicated = Box B

Box A can use file_get_contents on data from Box A and Box B
Box B can ONLY use file_get_contents on data from Box A.

If the dedicated box tries to call data from it's own server, the entire site hangs.

I don't understand how this could happen, but perhaps someone here has experienced something similar?

Thank you!

can you post the code your using and any error messages, make sure error checking is on.

Hmm, I'm not exactly sure how to turn on error checking.

After pulling my hair out all day I did notice one thing, caching was acting strange on my blog.

I couldn't simply disable my super cache because of some error (likely the same problem that was asking for my FTP info to install new plugins), but I manually removed super cache and this problem was gone.

However... every page but my index page was 404'd, and like I said above, I couldn't install plugins. I changed the permalink structure to default then back to custom, and all appeared well with that ONE domain, but now the other domains aren't even loading.

I am on the verge of insanity so I put my DNS back to my VPS box and I may just end up scrapping the server unless I am missing a very easy permission fix with my server. The way I couldn't even access Super Cache until I manually changed it to 777, then couldn't deactivate it, combined with my weird 404 errors + FTP / plugin thing leads me to believe something is up with the settings on my server. Perhaps 'too' locked down or something.
