Colton.Wagner Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey guys, I just installed a script for a demo at school but it says I need to enable PHP Sockets. What is that? I never heard that. Im using this host: http://dolphhost.com/ Although I am not farmiliar with your current host if they are running windows the following may help. Note that under windows you just need to uncomment the line ;extension=php_sockets.dll so that it looks like extension=php_sockets.dll This can be edited in your PHP.ini, that is if they give you access to it. Basically you are trying to listen to a specific port and more than likely the ip address: 0.0.0.0 which is all IP address'. Socket listening is just a way to accept TCP connection outside of port 80. Your host may not allow for socket_listeners as it can be a real security threat. Also your host would have to allow a pinhole for public access on whatever port it is you are trying to bind. Hope I was helpful!

Colton.Wagner Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Call the host directly and ask them. It changes from host to host and I have a feeling it is something they statically control on there end. Let me know if they are able to help you. It should be possible I know with Go-Daddy and Host Gator you can make the changes yourself throught the control panel. I have never used your host though so I am not going to be much help there.

jazzman1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Does your host provider provides you a open SSL connection? You should post the script before ask for any help, you've given very little information about it.
