[root@57 ~]# ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com
[root@57 ~]#

I tried with my other host and ping is working. This problem started few hours ago, can someone help

Thx

Can you ping the IP?
Looks like your named services down or firewall issue.

I just tested pinging an IP and it works. What happen to the domain? any advice?
Thx

Your nameservers are down.

Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

...after whatever's in there, and it'll all be good again.

Thanks SSH is pining now. I don't know if this is related, but cURL was working find until few hours ago too

<?php
curl_setopt($curl_login, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://google.com');

curl_setopt($curl_login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

$test = curl_exec($curl_login);

curl_close($curl_login);

?>

This still returns a blank page, which was suppose to show a google page

This seem to be another issue now. Make sure CURL is installed on your server.

Anything performing DNS lookups would have been failing, curl included.

google.com is a 301 redirect to www.google.com, I believe. Try using www.google.com in your script.

And yes, PHP should be compiled '--with-curl'

Thanks layer0. www.google.com works. My cURL was fixed due to the resolv.conf edit Previously i can't even cURL (not oggole) and now it's working

anyway will the nameserver change affect anything?

Yep... name resolution won't timeout any more.
