Broken Joomla Update when installing JEvents

[LennartMart]

Hi, I'm currently testing the new Joomla! I want to migrate my old 1.5 website, so I exported my articles to joomla 2.5 and made an upgrade to 3. When I try to install my favorite extension, I notice that the Joomla Update function fails: 500 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known .
This error dissapears when uninstalling JEvents. And it appears again when I reinstall JEvents. So...

Using Joomla! 3.0.2 en JEvents 3.0.3

Hello,

Doing a quick google makes this look like a potential Server issue. see:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/amoryr ... d_id=16703

Albeit an old topic.

But, it's possible when we use getaddrinfo it fails.

Can you contact your hosting company?

I can contact my hosting company, but it's really strange that when I install JEvents, it breaks the Joomla! Update function. Same issue with Gantry when I look it up with Google.

Also, the component is unusable when running Joomla in development mode. When I try to open the component, it is stuck in an endless loop.

Hello,

You should not be in Development Mode unless you are a developer?

This shows all sorts of future deprecations and strict standards. Maximum is the Maximum you will want to use.

Yeah, I know, I just tried to get more information aput this error, without result...

[LennartMart]

Well, I think I found the problem.
Allow_url_fopen is disabled on my shared hosting. The hosting company says it is for security reasons.

Is this really important in JEvents ? Or can I disable that function somewhere in the code?

(I can't turn on allow_url_fopen with htaccess)

Hello,

In the JEvents Config can you disable project news?

Doesn't work, still problem with Joomla! Updater and Extension updater.

It isn't a bug, it's a problem with my hosting. I hope I can solve it with him ...

I have been getting the error also:

500 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

So I went ahead and uninstalled JEvents 3.0.4 and now the Joomla! Update feature works.

Just disabling JEvents still caused the problem to remain.

[LennartMart]

Well, allow_url_fopen is now enabled, but it doesn't work.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm still wondering why JEvents breaks Joomla! Updater...
