Error : Could Not Open Socket after posting question ?

Question

After Posting Question all screen goes white and shows only the words "Could Not Open Socket" ... please help whats going wrong ....

Answer 1

I have the some problem. It starts after I change the site domain. Do you solved it?

Other problem is that when aswering, show a message in dialog: "Responde error from server".

Anyone know how to solve?

Thanks.

Answer 2

it's a guess but might work:

1. with admin user log into: site.com/?qa=admin/general

2. change "URL structure" to last option

3. change "Preferred site URL" with your Q2A site's new URL save and check if it works.

if it didn't check your qa-config.php to see if it has proper settings.

Comments

Thanks for help. But did not works. I checked qa-config.php and it appear to be ok (I did not change it).

I see that the problem related (could not oppen socket) appear only when user is not logged (anonymous question and awnser). If user is logged, it's work fine.

What can be the problem?

Thanks.
