Hello, I am new to CMS Builder. I would like to ask if it possible to install CMS builder in a local server such as Vertrigoserv without being connected to the internet I installed it recently and this is the error message that I got:

Error: Outbound internet connections from this server are not working.
Please ask your system administrator to enable network connectivity for PHP and/or resolve this issue.

Technical details for system administrators:

  • Unable to resolve IP address for test domain 'www.google.com' - Check DNS
  • Unable to connect to test domain 'www.google.com' (Error #0 - php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. ) - Check Firewall
  • Debugging - check resolved addresses and connection status with:

I hope that you can help me. I not connected to internet most of the time and I want to test CMSBuilder without internet connectivity.

Hello Rommel,

CMSB will certainly work with a local server.

Many of us have been using Wampserver (I use it on a windows 10 machine with no issues).

I would double check your settings or give Wampserver a try.

Also check that you're running the latest version of your server software and that you've got the appropriate versions of PHP and MySQL running

- Version 3.50 REQUIRES: PHP 5.6+ and MySQL 5.5+
- Future versions will require: PHP 7.1+
- NOTE: Some plugins may need to be updated if you've upgraded from v2.xx

Good luck,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Rommel, 

Can you try disabling the internet connectivity check?  In /lib/init.php search for _init_showInternetConnectivityErrors() and add a # in front of this line:

// check for internet connectivity
if (!isInstalled()) { _init_showInternetConnectivityErrors(); } // only run if software not installed yet

Let me know if that works for you.
