Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.facebook.com/): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/file.php on line 5

Also try rebuild PHP & Apache still not work [COLOR="silver">- - - Updated - - - I wondering that just google and facebook are blocked from file_get_contents but all other site working fine. There is where that I should look into? that can block this kind of certain url. Thanks

  Hello :) I believe it violates Facebook's terms of service, so it's possible that connection is blocked by Facebook. The following third-party URL may help: [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6724467/why-doesnt-file-get-contents-work]php - Why doesn't file_get_contents work? - Stack Overflow Thank you.

  I think what cause the problem is IPv4, IPv6 stuff. I can't use wget for some domain that have IPV6 either (facebook, google)

  I don't believe this issue is related to any settings or configurations associated with cPanel/WHM. However, feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature if you want us to verify that for you. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome. Thank you.
