a server status checker that works?

[andrew121]

I am making a website and i have this www.22salon.com/test_login/test3/client.php i have a code that looks like this

<?php
$ip = "allexser.dnsalias.net"; //put your ipaddress here
$port= "43594"; //the port number
if (! $sock = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $num, $error, 5)) //Checks the server's status (43594 = port)
{
echo "<font>Offline</font>"; //When server status is offline, output this
}
else
{
echo "<font>Online</font>"; //Else, output this
}
?> 

This code tells whether my RS private server is offline or Online but it doesnt work. it always shows offline. I know how to use this inside an html website so dont tell me that i am doing something wrong in html. All i know is that the script is wrong. all help is appreciated.

I pasted that exact snipet and ran it on my localhost (whilst changing the port) and it stated online..

 

If I made up another port, it would state offline.

 

Which means you must have an error on your server end.

 

Good luck

[andrew121]

what do you mean?

[nano]

Well what I mean is there is nothing wrong with the script.

 

That leaves an error to the server you are trying to check.. maybe the port is not open etc?

[andrew121]

i do have an open port ive tried it on many servers.

[nano]

Have you tried just using the php, removing any HTML?

 

Run it off your webhost and set the following:

 

$ip = "localhost"; //put your ipaddress here
$port= "80"; //the port number

 

It should say online as it does for me..

 

So maybe you do have an error with your html 

[andrew121]

es iv tried it without html www.22salon.com/test_login/test3/test.php

[andrew121]

oh your right it says online. mmmh, when i change it to my port which is 43594 it says offline. i put it localhost.

[nano]

so you will need to double check that port

 

good luck.

Change the offline line to"

 

echo "<font>Offline: $num, $error</font>"; //When server status is offline, output this

 

That should help you understand the error. Your code is fine and works on my machine by changing to my webhost.

 

$ip = "mzproperty.co.uk"; //put your ipaddress here
$port= "80"; //the port number

kk thanks i am trying to change port to 33 now and see if its the 4 digits that kill it.

[andrew121]

well apperantly it still doesnt work... it says Offline: 111, Connection refused

[Mario F.]

If you are still not convinced, do a port scan on the target machine and use the script on an opened port.

[andrew121]

how do i do this?

[trq]

You need to turn error reporting on. It is likely that the fsockopen is disabled for some reason.

 

Place this at the very top of the script....

 

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL) ; ini_set('display_errors','1'); ?>

 

Also, remove the error supressor (@).

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to allexser.dnsalias.net:90 (Connection timed out) in /home/content/a/l/l/allexser/html/test_login/test3/test.php on line 4

Offline

[trq]

Theres your problem. Are you sure your firewall allows you to use port 90?

[andrew121]

yes im sure
