Hello
I have used your tutorial to write a MC serv er information. It works like a treat!
Problem is, when I try to use it on my website, it just falls apart. What I mean is that the script is unable to connect to the server to get needed information. It works fine on localhost. I have contacted my server provider, and they say that the server supports fsockopen(), but their firewall will block eveyrhing apart from port 80.

Is there a way round it to get that script working on the web server?

Thanks

Not if the port is blocked no I would ask your host to unblock it if you can.

They have said no, so that is it, thank you for the anwser.

Yeah sorry there is not really a work around. Well if you can configure your Minecraft server to run on port 80 it would work then but that's not the best solution.

Well, Im guessing that the MC hosting company would not be happy then

I have another question, is there a way of having the file with function be hosted on a server which doesnt have minecraft port blocked, and use it to display it on second server? I know that by using include statment will not work as its blocked in settings

You could use it as a kind of proxy, so you make a script that outputs the data and from your main server you can use file_get_contents() to get it. But why not just host the entire thing on the server without the block ?

Because the server which has no block has something diffrent on it and a diffrent domain name connected to it and moving stuff around is not an option

You are pretty stuck then. It would be pretty slow to proxy it via the other server so I would only use that as a last resort.

Well file_get_contents() is also blocked, pff it would probebly be easier to change the hosting at this rate.

With that amount of pointless restrictions I thing that would probably work out for the best.

I like my host, but they block everything (lol)
But that why I use one of my Minecraft server's complementary web server's to do all the stats.

But the only problem is that you can't use Minecraft servers with Cloudflare, so I had to make a new A DNS forwarding to it, so it has even more requests :<

Hehe, a 150 player-capable server down to 30 :/

(even though my server gets deserted at times)

EDIT: I just realized I could have used the CDN server
