"froxlor_master_cronjob.php --tasks" throws some PHP Warnings

Question

Hi there,
I'm looking for a hint on how-to debug the following output from "/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.php --tasks":

PHP Warning:  dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred. in /var/www/html/froxlor/lib/Froxlor/PhpHelper.php on line 226

It probably has something to do in context with: "gethostbynamel6" function in there. 

We're not actively/productively using IPV6 (yet). The only thing we have (so far) configured it is in the menu item "IPs and Ports" for some tests in the past. But there should be no BIND-zones with IPV6.
The occurence of this issue is new. It came up after the major update from 0.9x to 0.10.x

Best regards,
Sebastian

Ah okay, does your server possibly not have an ipv6 address and/or cannot connect to ipv6 networks? That could be the origin of the error message, because first we check for ipv6 record (AAAA) and then for ipv4 (A) - and then merge the two results. So if the first fails, it's not an array (should be "false" and I guess array_merge tries to typecast so it's null) and the merge fails.

Can you try the following adjustments to /var/www/html/froxlor/lib/Froxlor/PhpHelper.php:

diff --git a/lib/Froxlor/PhpHelper.php b/lib/Froxlor/PhpHelper.php
index 90b30478..f9fbab55 100644

                if ($try_a == true) {

                        $dns = array_merge($dns4, $dns6);
                } else {
                        $dns = $dns6;

are you sure the server can resolve domain names correctly?

Hi!

Yes, name resolution in general is fine on this machine.

After looking at some articles like this:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73149
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36280957/dns-get-record-a-temporary-server-error-occurred
https://dustri.org/b/a-short-tale-on-phps-dns_get_record.html

...I included a 'var_dump(' ... in the lines that were mentioned in the error message(s). (226 + 228 + 229) of .../froxlor/lib/Froxlor/PhpHelper.php
and did a:
# /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.php --run-task 4 --force

array(0) {
}
(...and so on...)

I'm not entirely sure how to intepret it.

PS: If I run this multiple times and 'diff' the output file, the result is identical. It fails for like ~25 entries, of the many hundreds in our system.
Anyway, I can't see a production or productive impact of this at the moment.

Greets,
Sebastian
