Error message in Groups - advice please

Hi all, I have this niggling error message in groups:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.ecofriendz.com/groups/orca/?action=group_last_topics&forum=Bea-Tropical&trans=1) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/sites/ecofriendz.com/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolGroups.php on line 419

I do not have orca running because it doesnt work with my server. I have V 6.1.

I have tried to comment out the line (has worked for other things) but no joy. The page still shows but with the message at the top. Can someone tell me what [function.file-get-contents] means...I have had this a few times and would like to be able to resolve this myself, but this has me beat. :-(

Many Thank

Hi.

I was having this issue for ages on here with no luck but found an answear in the end.

First make backup of your original files in case it still doesnt fix it.

so when you reupload changes if your script messess up just reupload the backup you made

download that file bxdolgroups.php   (inc/classes)

open with a editor that has line number find line 417 and delete it. worked for me

or for people with no line numbers in there text editor find

$sRet = file_get_contents("{$site['groups']}orca/?action=group_last_topics&forum={$sForumUri}&trans=1");

delete it

Save and reupload.

Regards

James
