Hello everyone. I have a server with a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. It has lighttpd 1.4.28 / PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6 (fpm-fcgi).
I installed Wordpress 3.5.1 and everything seemed to go ok, except when I pull up any admin page. It takes about 20 seconds a click and with debug on it shows several lines like this:
Warning: fopen(http://api.wordpress.org/core/browse-happy/1.0/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /var/www/sitename/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 921
So the reason it is slow I am thinking is because it is timing out trying to reach these maybe? But, the server is on the Internet and I can use w3m to browse the web, and I downloaded the WP code with wget.
Also I checked the php.ini file and allow_url_fopen = on is set.
I have checked all permissions and even at 777 and owned by www-data this still fails. What have I ran into here? The server log just shows the same fopen lines.
