Cannot connect to services.soaplite.com:80 (Bad hostname...

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've been attempting to make Paul Kulchenko's samples work with our own webserver (http://guide.soaplite.com)

I get following errors

500 Can't connect to services.soaplite.com:80 (Bad hostname 'services.soaplite.com') at hibye.pl line 7

Any ideas ?? _{janitored by ybiC: Retitle from "SOAP::Lite", as one-word nodetitles hinder site search}

From a shell, what happens when you try: `% telnet services.soaplite.com 80` [download] Or in other words, do you get an error? Establishing connectivity first is important. pbeckingham - typist, perishable vertebrate.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks to all Yep i could not telnet so I had to change internet options on the server to not default to port 80, this was wrong !! Dave	[reply]

does your dns server work? Try 'ping services.soaplite.com'. or `perl -e 'print join ".", unpack "C4", (gethostbyname "services.soaplit +e.com")[4]'` [download] Boris	[reply] [d/l]

Be sure that you have the 'http://', or better yet, 'https://' at the beginning of your hostname. bassplayer	[reply]
