new user to drupal here.... pretty much new to the science of server admin too.
I've set up my local machine (Mac OS X 10.2.3) with its standard Apache install (v1.3.26), PHP install (v.4.1.2), and MySQL (I installed v3.23.39). I got several of the sites that I normally work on (on external servers) up and running locally (woohoo!). This includes several databases and stuff, so I know that everything is up and running properly.
Installed drupal and set it up with no problems. However when creating news feeds, I noticed that nothing seemed to be happening... The admin error log was recording update errors, so i removed the @error supressor on the fopen function in import.module (the most obvious place to look). Here's what i found:
warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in htdocs/modules/import.module on line 174.
