Re: [VuFind-General] Problem with book covers

[Bob W. <bwi...@pl...>]

It works on my Ubuntu box so it looks like it may have something to do with the version of PHP on CentOS.  

CentOS PHP: 5.1.6
Ubuntu PHP: 5.2.3

CentOS is basically Redhat Enterprise Linux without the branding and support.

Subject: [VuFind-General] Problem with book covers

I'm having trouble getting Amazon book covers to work on my install.  When they are enabled I get the following error in my logs:

[Fri Mar 28 20:39:25 2008] [error] [client 10.211.55.5] PHP Warning:  fopen(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZEAD9ZEEL._SL75_.jpg) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 408 Request Time-out\r\n in /usr/local/vufind/web/bookcover.php on line 144, referer: http://10.199.30.172/vufind/Search/Home?lookfor=hobbit&type=all&submit=Find&search=new

I've double checked my PHP settings and allow_url_fopen =on 

I wrote a short php script to test and it fails every time on the images from Amazon but succeeds when opening images from one of my servers.

<?php
//$fp = fopen('http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/01355X0F6FL.jpg', 'r');
$fp = fopen('http://www.pls-net.org/images/owwl2gobutton.jpg','r');

if ($fp){
  echo "Looks like it opened!";
  fclose($fp);
} else {
  echo "Didn't work";
}
?>

I'm running PHP version 5.1.6 on CentOS 5.1.  Amazon reviews are working fine.  It's only the book covers.
