Warning: inet_pton(): Unrecognized address

  • Hi,
    My website has a big and strange header with a repetition of this line a hundred times :
    “Warning: inet_pton(): Unrecognized address 90.44.168.134, 198.143.43.49 in /htdocs/public/www/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/utils.php on line 27”.
    The website is on the server with PHP 6.0 installed… and I’m lost…
    NB : the website is still “alive”, but i have no more access to the back-office.

    Hi,
    we have a fix for this coming up with one of our next releases of the plugin. For now it should work if you are able to turn off the display of php error messages. This should be turned off on live servers anyways since displaying errors can be a security risk. Once you have gotten rid of the errors enable the setting “Delay IP and Country blocking until after WordPress and plugins have loaded (only process firewall rules early)” on the Wordfence Firewall page.

    So when it will be fixed?
    Error log is to fat…

    Hi RCooLeR,

    This has been fixed since months back. If you are getting warnings involving inet_pton now it’s likely due to some misconfiguration on the server related to ipv6 setup.
