file_get_contents - failed to open stream (1 reply)

Hi all,

I've been trying to find a solution for this problem all afternoon, but can't seem to fix it. I'm trying to access files through file_get_contents but keep being shown the following error:

failed to open stream: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I'm just trying to read [www.example.com] - so there shouldn't be any problems.

Does anyone know what could cause this? I've made sure the allow_url_fopen is set to On in php.ini and checked other settings, but still keep getting the error.

Could anyone help please?

Thanks,
Mike
