fsockopen error with licensing addon

[St. Anger]

This isn't a problem with WHMCS exactly, but I can't get the licensing addon's license validation to work for a certain client, he gets an fsockopen error. This doesn't seem to happen to any other users, just him (he's using an Italian hosting provider called Aruba, and I think they use Windows servers but I'm not positive). Unfortunately, I don't know much about fsockopen and how/if that's enabled, etc.

 

Here is the error:

 

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in D:\inetpub\webs\moonlight69it\php\admin\includes\licensing.inc.php on line 20

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.domain-edited-out.net/customers/:80 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. ) in D:\inetpub\webs\moonlight69it\php\admin\includes\licensing.inc.php on line 20

 

 

Before those errors, he was getting this error:

 

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to http://www.domain-edited-out.net/customers/:80 (Unable to find the socket transport "http" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in D:\inetpub\webs\moonlight69it\php\admin\includes\licensing.inc.php on line 20

 

But, I took out "http://" from the WHMCS installation URL variable (to match examples in the PHP documentation) and that got rid of that error.

 

Any clue what could be wrong?
