JakeSCloud Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi I've recently had to change from the Zumeweb theme because when people try to register they get an error saying. "Could not open socket" Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? MiniJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicflyer Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Well this is a new error.

Socket usually refers to a network port, my only guess(with limited networking knowledge) is that there is some sort of issue with port services(As stated by Jordan). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it is a setting on the server, it may even be a transient error that is due to something on the server running at the same time, or something crashing and restarting or......
