Wp-to-twitter. isn't able to establish the connetcion

kurrik · 2012-02-14T23:49:42.000Z

Yes, that appears to be correct. One more test would be to try and use cURL from PHP. You might try using the tmhOAuth library’s examples to test that your production server is able to connect to Twitter’s API. Download the https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth project onto your server and check out the examples directory. If you’re able to run them successfully, then it’s likely an issue with the plugin.

BINGO ! That’s the right way !!!

Using tmhOAuth I tested the script “examples/verify_ssl.php” and I get the response:
ERROR: There was a problem making the request The HTTP response code was: 0

So this means the problem is in the server configuration? Right?

But my hosting provider isn’t able to solve the problem
What can I suggest them to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
Boris

I guess the next thing to do would be to check your PHP settings by creating a page which lists the output of phpinfo: http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php - make sure that PHP is compiled with OpenSSL and cURL support. If not, see if your web provider can provide you with a PHP build which has these enabled.

ugofonzar · 2012-02-16T22:05:03.000Z

Using the function phpinfo() I get the following informations:

curl
cURL support enabled
cURL Information libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5

I think that’s correct. Is it?

Hi,
The following is the php config of the server obtained from phpinfo() instruction.
Is it possible to find wrong or missing options?
Thanks in advance

Maybe it’s missing: --with-mhash ?

BorisSclauzero · 2012-02-17T14:10:24.000Z

Warning: curl_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in […]/temp/ssl/tmhOAuth.php on line 641

BorisSclauzero · 2012-02-17T15:54:19.000Z

Does this mean I cannot connect unless my provider changes this option?
thanks

kurrik · 2012-02-17T19:31:30.000Z

Yeah that would be a problem.

kurrik · 2012-02-17T19:32:17.000Z

Are you also posting from @BorisSclauzero, or is that someone else? I don’t see an issue here

BorisSclauzero · 2012-02-18T07:14:11.000Z

yes it’s always me

BorisSclauzero · 2012-02-18T07:20:41.000Z

I think there is an option set (on php.ini) to disable explicitely the execution to curl_exec() command.
I’m asking to remove it

BorisSclauzero · 2012-02-18T20:51:03.000Z

That was the problem !
Now the plugin is working
@kurrik: your support was awesome
thaks so much
Boris

Bornagain1Mark · 2012-02-18T21:18:00.000Z

No problem cheers Mark

kurrik · 2012-02-22T19:26:51.000Z

That’s great to hear I’m glad that I could be helpful!

@nilesh: I got the same issue in my blog. Did you find the solution for this !

My Error :-

Share with me if you any idea about this.

HOWholistics · 2012-09-30T03:58:50.000Z

You need to change your settings to use HTTP, not HTTPS (see http://wp.me/p26SBx-1Q).

Pioneraclorinda · 2012-11-22T17:22:03.000Z
