Discussion and Answer

Not sure, check Google:%22Bad+arg+length+for+Socket%3A%3Apack_sockaddr_in%22

Seems like a DNS issue? Check your /etc/resolv.conf for any odd characters in the nameserver lines.

Hello,

i checked /etc/resolv.conf; didn't find anything odd.

Anywhere else i should look into? Thanks

just fyi, have tested this on CentOS 5.5 32-bit and 4.8 32-bit, all with the same behavior; seems that PERL incompatibilities are not in play here.

Having the same issue on different CentOS versions confirms that this is likely a name server configuration issue.

To confirm, try creating a page that includes a web page by IP address, such as %INCLUDE{http://74.125.19.103/}% for google.com.

Hello,

Yup, it's a DNS resolution problem all right.

Seems that IncludeTopicsAndWebPages references www.google.com/robots.txt and Twiki.org; the page loaded successfully after i removed the lines.

Thanks
