[Magpierss-general] Magpie needs which ports open?

[Luca L. <luc...@ya...>]

Hi -

I am hoping that someone here can help me by providing information re:
which ports Magpie needs open to function correctly [i.e. retrieve
feeds]. I believe that it will it need to open http port 80? I am
working with my ISP and they have asked to know which ports they need
to open up. In testing I got the following error...

>Error: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch http://example.com/rss.xml. (HTTP
>Error: connection failed (1)

>A connection error of type 1 means "permission denied". This usually
>means that your ISP has configued PHP so that it can't open outgoing
>sockets (usually for security reasons).

>The only solution to this is to ask your ISP for help.

>Sometimes you'll also get the related connection failed (11) (e.g. on
>sourceforge.net) which also means PHP is configured in such a way
>that Magpie can't work.

Any info on this is sincerely appreciated.
