| February 14, 2007 @ 5:30pm | Hi ssqa,
Can you give us some more information about the host you're attempting to install it on? Things like operating system, serving software, php and mysql versions, etc.
Also, generally that message indicates that a connection couldn't be established to our servers to access your license information. Most often that's because either sockets aren't enabled, or because you're trying to install it on a local machine that can't connect to our servers.

You mentioned FTP but I just want to verify, is this a local workstation computer or a web server? Also, is this IIS, Apache, or some other serving package (if local)? Finally, have you created a PHPinfo file to see if the sockets are enabled?

| February 14, 2007 @ 10:26pm | Since your email didn't contain any FTP information, the best I can do is give you instructions for a PHPinfo file and go from there based on what you find out.
To make one, create a blank document called phpinfo.php or something along those lines, and place this in it:
Then upload it to your server and view it through your browser.

| February 15, 2007 @ 6:33pm | After reviewing the PHPinfo contents you sent, it's pretty clear why it's not working. Your server has a number of commonly used features locked down, including the ability to open sockets. You can see the complete list in the "PHP Core" table, under the "disable_functions" section. "fsockopen" is the one FlexCMS uses to connect to our servers and retrieve your license information. Shockingly to me, even sending mail (mail) and opening files (fopen, fwrite, fread, etc) are prevented from working as well!
From what I can see you're hosted with GoDaddy, so it's strange they've locked so many features down. The only thing I can think of is that you're on a really good value plan, and to make up for the price they remove some features.
In any case, you're probably going to need to upgrade plans or switch hosts to make FlexCMS or most any other CMS package work. Most don't require you to have sockets enabled, but you will need them if you plan to do much in the way of eCommerce (even integrating PayPal IPN with your site requires sockets). Pretty much any script that has an installation package will need the ability to open and write to files, and I would imagine you'd also like to have the ability to send mail from your site!
And on a shameless self-promotion side note, you may be interested in our hosting packages which can be found here. They include a FlexCMS license and are probably not much more than what you're paying right now for hosting alone.
