It looks like it may be a web host issue. Apparently they don’t allow socket connections to remote hosts. Sucks for me.

Here’s a simple PHP script that can be used to test this.


<?php
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)');

$result = curl_exec($ch);

echo '<pre>INFO';
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
echo '</pre>';

echo '<pre>RESULT';
print htmlentities($result);
echo '</pre>';

echo '<pre>CURLERR';
echo curl_errno($ch) . ' ' . curl_error($ch);
echo '</pre>';

echo '<pre>CURLVERSION';
echo curl_version();
echo '</pre>';

curl_close($ch);
?>

Just thought I’d post back to this in case anyone else has this same issue. I imagine my web host isn’t the only one that doesn’t allow remote socket connections.

Yes I can log into the WP Admin. I can also log into Blogger without issues (via the Blogger site).

There’s two error message that appear in the blogger import.
One at the very top that says:
Failed to connect to 66.102.15.100: Permission denied

And one near the username/password fields that says:
Login failed. Please re-enter your username and password.

Anyone have any ideas??
