Activation Error
I have been having a great time with ACP and had no issues activating in on my production server(s).
However on my local development server I am getting the following error
Wrong response from API. 0: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
I am running Ubuntu with an up to date latest LAMP Stack.
Should I have something enabled I don’t in my php settings or is it possible to have activation fallback on another method?
Hi Tom,
Am I correct in assuming you’re running Admin Columns on a local environment? If so, could you open up a terminal window and see if pinging the host “admincolumns.com” works?
$ ping admincolumns.com
That would be a good first step in assessing this issue!
Cheers!

The connection to the server doesn’t seem to be the problem.
Equally fopen seems to work for the main site? http://bit.ly/VGbI4P
I think I am right in assuming you use that method to query the server?
Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this issue myself.
We use wp_remote_get() to retrieve the data from http://www.admincolumns.com. It seems you know your way around PHP, so you might want to check the raw response.
The request is being made from /cac-addon-pro/classes/api.php : ACP_API::request(); If you print_r the $result, you will find the full WP Error. Hopefully this will help you on your way with debugging. If there’s anything I can do just let me know. I would also really like to know the solution to this.

Finally I was able to reproduce this error on a different server. The issue had to do with wp_remote_get and how the querystring was formatted. I was able to resolve it and I will make sure the fix is in the next release.
If you want to update your current version (v3.0.8.3) yourself, you can do the following:
Replace /pro/classes/api.php lines 130-133:
$result = wp_remote_get( $query, array(
'timeout' => 15,
'sslverify' => false
) );
with
$result = wp_remote_post( $api_url, array(
'timeout' => 15,
'sslverify' => false,
'body' => $args
) );
Star!
I tried a load of wp_remote_post variable changes to try to fix it but eventually gave up :)
