Title: Error in Server Log Every Second Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Error in Server Log Every Second * [aktionj33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aktionj33/) * (@aktionj33) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-server-log-every-second/) * I am getting the below error every second on my server logs. I am novice so this may as well be a foreign language. Can anyone offer any fix to clean out my server logs? * ``` /wp-admin/error_log: #3 /wp-content/plugins/amazonsimpleadmin/AsaCustomerReviews.php(55): AsaCustomerReviews->_grabReview() #4 /wp-content/plugins/amazonsimpleadmin/AsaCore.php(1660): AsaCustomerReviews->__construct( in /wp-content/plugins/amazonsimpleadmin/lib/AsaZend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php on line 235PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'AsaZend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception' with message 'Unable to Connect to tcp://www.amazon.com:80.

You should ask your hoster to allow that. * Thread Starter [aktionj33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aktionj33/) * (@aktionj33) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-server-log-every-second/#post-3678962) * Hi Timo, * Thank you very much for replying. I think your plugin is great, I just hate to see these constant errors. I went ahead and contacted my host about it and here was the response: * > If they could give us details about the sequence of things that need to happen > to use the amazon web servicewe may be able to help further.

I am sure other folks on shared hosting may benefit. * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Timo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/worschtebrot/) * (@worschtebrot) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-server-log-every-second/#post-3678963) * The mentioned section does not connect to the webservice but to the customer ratings page. But regardless, the plugin only makes connections on port 80. For the webservice on host tcp://ecs.amazonaws.de and for the customer ratings page on host tcp://www.amazon.de. * In the initial error message it says: “Unable to Connect to tcp://www.amazon. com:80” That means, the server can not connect to tcp://www.amazon.com on port 80 and that’s the problem. * If you google for the PHP error “php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” you will find something like this: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8210099/php-php-network-getaddresses-getaddrinfo-failed-no-such-host-is-known](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8210099/php-php-network-getaddresses-getaddrinfo-failed-no-such-host-is-known) what suggests that it is an issue of server configuration. * If it would be a general problem/bug, every user of the plugin would have this error. * If your hoster thinks something else gets blocked by the firewall, I think it would be best if they look into their firewall logs and check out what it is, because I can not imagine what it could be. The above mentioned hosts on port 80 are the only connections the plugin requests. * I hope we can solve this… Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Error in Server Log Every Second’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/amazonsimpleadmin/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1788380) * [Affiliate Super Assistent](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazonsimpleadmin/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazonsimpleadmin/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazonsimpleadmin/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazonsimpleadmin/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazonsimpleadmin/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazonsimpleadmin/reviews/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Timo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/worschtebrot/) * Last activity: [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-server-log-every-second/#post-3678963) * Status: not resolved
