curl_multi_exec error kills Tubepress on GoDaddy

Thanks for your question and your report. As of now this isn’t user-configurable but I’d like to fix that for the future.

For now, though, you should be able to manually make the following changes to trick TubePress into using something other than curl_multi_exec().

OPTION 1

Try this first as it requires the fewest code changes. Edit wp-content/plugins/tubepress/vendor/puzzlehttp/puzzle/src/main/php/puzzle/Client.php and add a single line at line 75. The full constructor should look like this:

public function __construct(array $config = array())
    {
        $this->configureBaseUrl($config);
        $this->configureDefaults($config);
        $this->configureAdapter($config);
        if (isset($config['emitter'])) {
            $this->emitter = $config['emitter'];
        }
        $this->adapter = new puzzle_adapter_StreamAdapter($this->messageFactory);
    }

OPTION 2

Option 1 might not work, depending on your server’s configuration. Instead of puzzle_adapter_StreamAdapter, try puzzle_adapter_curl_CurlAdapter instead. Same file and location as Option 1:

public function __construct(array $config = array())
    {
        $this->configureBaseUrl($config);
        $this->configureDefaults($config);
        $this->configureAdapter($config);
        if (isset($config['emitter'])) {
            $this->emitter = $config['emitter'];
        }
        $this->adapter = new puzzle_adapter_curl_CurlAdapter($this->messageFactory);
    }

Unless you are running PHP 5.5, you’ll also need to comment out line 137 of wp-content/plugins/tubepress/vendor/puzzlehttp/puzzle/src/main/php/puzzle/adapter/curl/CurlAdapter.php:

//curl_reset($handle);

Apologies for the hackiness, but this should get you up and running until I can write a more elegant solution. Please give the above a try and let us know how it works for you. Thanks!

No, this is awesome! Thanks so much for the reply. Luckily it turned out that my client was on a managed dedicated server (I thought they were on shared) and they were able to have support adjust the PHP config (I wasn’t allowed direct access). Still I think this would prove a helpful solution in the future for any servers where you can’t get at the config. I REALLY appreciate the response.

Glad that it’s worked out! Thanks for using TubePress and let us know what else we can do for you.
