We're having a similar problem with our hosting provider.
We've verified with this code :
<?php
$curlcontent="curl";
$curlstatus="Curl is not installed - This is a Problem";
if (function_exists('curl_init')) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '
api.facebook.com/restserver.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$curlcontent = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$curlstatus="Curl is available but cannot access Facebook - This is a problem ";
if (strlen($curlcontent)>6) {$curlstatus="Curl is available and can access Facebook - All is OK";}
}
print $curlstatus;
print "\n";
print $curlcontent;
print "\n";
?>
To see if cURL and port 443 were open and they seem to be but whenever we try to create a new account we get a very long delay that sometimes lead to a 500 error.
We're running Joomla 1.5.23 and JFBC 3.2.2
The site is
www.fetenationale.qc.ca.
If cURL and the port seem open is there anything else that might be going on ?
Facebook API Error: connect() timed out! [SOLVED]
