I get this at intervals on my local install too but I just ignore it and refresh the page. I think it’s a Windows/PHP specific issue which (I assumed) was directly related to running WP inside a ported LAMP environment within Windows.
Certainly nothing to worry about.
Thanks! Did you or anyone else ever find a workaround? It’s glad to hear that this is not a big issue, but sometimes I will wait 8-10 seconds for the page to load and then this error will appear.Which is not a crisis but can be a bit annoying when constantly refreshing pages during development.
Is it possible that it is from some plugin that setup a cron and is now disabled?
I have the same problem and I remember that when I’d tested Mailman, something to do with cron had come up…. it is uninstalled, but this message comes up with debug enabled. Is there a way to check why wordpress is doing the cron?
I was hacking around a bit this morning with the wp_remote_request() function which calls fopen(). I used a very simple request which sent my whole system spaz-out:
$test = wp_remote_request( 'http://localhost/3.1/', array( 'topics' => 'ajax' ) );
However, the function worked fine when accessing a true remote url:
$test = wp_remote_request( 'http://wordpress.mfields.org/', array( 'topics' => 'ajax' ) );
Is there anything that I need to configure in windows to stop this from happening? It happens rather frequently for me.
@ocean90 Thanks for posting a link to that ticket. Very informative. I no longer develop on a Windows machine. And have not noticed the errors since I switched.
