    Default Getting warning message with rss display boxes

    1) Script Title: RSS Display Boxes

    2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ybox/index.htm

    3) Describe problem:
    I'm getting the following warning:

    Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.toledobend.com:80 in /nfs/cust/1/02/30/803201/web/simplepie/simplepie.inc on line 2238

    The page is located at www.toledobend.com/home9.php

    Everything was working fine. All I did was change the feed url's in the main.php file. Now I'm getting this warning. When it was working, the feed was coming from an external site. Now, I have it coming from a forum script within my site and I'm getting tis warning.

    Update: I just spoke with my web hosting provider. They said they don't support rss feeds! I'm changed hosts 3 times already and I haven't even launched the site yet! Can anyone recommend a good hosting provider?

    Thank you.

    To be more specific, I think your web host means it has disabled PHP's fsockopen() function, which is required by this script to fetch and host the RSS feed in question. Most hosts that I know of don't have this limitation, for example, Site5 of Liquidweb. Or you can consider using a RSS display script that doesn't require that you host any files yourself, such as gAjax RSS Displayer.
