CMS Made Simple Forums

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.

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,
