Could not connect to API server

[PerCompLLC]

I've implemented IPInfoDB on a Wordpress installation for a client. Everything works perfectly in my development and staging environment, but in production (Media Temple), the code is unable to connect to the API Server.

Needless to say, the code in development, staging and production is identicle...

Array ( [0] => Could not connect to API server. Will try backup server in xxxxx.com/html/geolocation.class.php(321) Trace : #0 xxxxx.com/html/geolocation.class.php(258): geolocation->_query()

Any ideas?

Hi, remplace all occurence of @file_get_contents by file_get_contents in the class. Sometimes file_get_contents is disabled in your php configuration, removing the @ should give you the warning. You could try this class : http://unix.freshmeat.net/projects/ipgeolocation-php-class that use cUrl instead of file_get_contents (I should release my own curl class soon)

As it turns out, allow_url_fopen is disabled by default on the Media Temple servers... I edited php.ini for this particular instance and enabled it. Everything works now as expected. Thanks for responding!
