@irasmaster Can you explain how did you fixed this error, please?

[go-yaro]

@irasmaster i have a same error with you. can you talk more about the solution? thx

[irasmaster]

@omarllorens @go-yaro In my case, it was a server problem. Puppet updated libc, after what apt should restart dependant services, including php-fpm, but it didn't. So solution was the script to restart PHP after every package update.

[omarllorens]

Thank you @irasmaster !

[go-yaro]

@ianbarber it works for me. thank you.

I had the same error today developing locally in a vagrant box.
Turns out the vagrant box had network issues after my machine went once to hibernate and back up. I restarted the vagrant instance end everything works fine again!

Just restart your server

[jrosell]

Just restart your server

You are right. Some system packages were updated but their related services were not restarted

[Simprosys-InfoMedia]

Hello, We are also getting Same Daily at the same time. So can you someone please help me how to resolver this permanently?

[ashley7]

When I was on localhost, Some requests would return that error and sometimes they would pass and return results, but since I went live, I have never seen them, even the speeds increased

[Meenu-Jain]

I also restarted my server and it worked

Sometimes this happens when the nameservers for google are not set in your /etc/resolv.conf file. You can fix it by doing this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24967855/curl-6-could-not-resolve-host-google-com-name-or-service-not-known

At the risk of being redundant, restarting also works when encountering this error in a docker instance.

Had the same issue today. It was a VPN issue. Once ExpressVPN was disconnected: worked again!
