Error in Module Manager

Post by belc »

Hi,

I had installed CMSMS 1.2 'Barbados' on a test site, still trying to figure out how to use this CMS. My problem is about Module Manager in the Extension menu where I get this message:
SOAP Problem (http://modules.cmsmadesimple.org/soap.p ... Repository): HTTP Error: Couldn't open socket connection to server http://modules.cmsmadesimple.org/soap.p ... Repository, Error (113): No route to host
So, there are no modules listed in the Available Module tab...what went wrong actually?

These are the server information:

OS : Debian GNU/Linux
Perl : 5.8.4
PHP : 4.4.0
MySQL : 4.1.11

Btw, previously I had installed the same version of CMSMS on WAMP server (local PC) and I could see a long list of modules in the Available Module tab although it fails to download any of the files when I tried to install one of the module. I thought it was because the WAMP limitation, before I install it on a live environment. I tried to look into the documentation of CMSMS but I didn't get any solutiion, can anyone help? I'm more of a designer rather than programmer...so I'm not very good with PHP and stuff  :-[

Thanks,

This error is pretty self explanatory, your host is not allowing outgoing connections.

Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.

Can you explain more on "not allowing outgoing connections"? I mean, if I wanted to ask any hosting company, what should I say to them?

Thanks,
