Issues with reboot of server?

    Hi Henrik,

    Firstoff, I just wanted to say thanks – and I love your IMDb Markup Syntax plugin.

    Quick (and strange) question:

    Have you ever known your plugin to be working one day and then stop completely the next (after a server restart)?

    We inserted your plugin into wordpress (running on Nginx) and all was fine. It did everything it needed to do :). However, after a server restart it stopped working.

    Trying to load up pages that had live imdb embedded on it would give ‘blank’ pages (wp header and footer, but nothing else). Trying to save imbd tags via the wp backend gives error 500’s.

    Its almost as if it can no longer call out to the outside world.

    Any idea what could be causing that? I cant give a url, unfortunately – although we’ve done no fiddling with the code. The only thing that was done on our side that might have caused it was the server restart. Anything beyond the php5.3 or later that it absolutely has to have running? I’m guessing something has turned itself off…

    C.

    Hi Colintate,

    Glad you like the plugin! It sounds like a module has gone down just like you said since you′re not receiving an error, only a blank response. Besides PHP and WordPress the plugin requires cURL.

    I suggest you run the following test in your terminal:

    $ php -r "curl_exec(curl_init('https://app.imdb.com/title/maindetails?tconst=tt1430132'));"

    The expected result is a json object for the film “The Wolverine”. If you do not get the expected response then you should restart php5-fpm service.

    For example (depending on which OS you are running)
    $ service php5-fpm restart

    It would be great if you send me feedback afterwards.

    Good Luck!

    Hi Henrik,

    Just posting back to say that all is fixed!

    We ran the test in terminal – and we got back the json object. We also verified that php5-fpm was up. As a precaution we restarted php5-fpm and everything worked as it should!

    Very happy to have that all taken care of ??

    Take care,

    Colin
