Is this big brother "Mediawiki" watching???? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Malcolm Ross Kinsella Ryan Sent: 11 April 2006 10:51 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Bug in 1.6.3? I just installed MediaWiki 1.6.3. It all seems to have gone okay, with the exception of an error message at the top of the browser window: Warning: socket_sendto() Host lookup failed [-10001]: Unknown host in wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1504 I checked out the offending line, and it appears to be trying to open a socket to a machine called "webster" to do some kinds of statistics logging. I commented the line out and everything seems to work just fine. What's going on here?
