<br>
I'm brand new to Drupal and have only just in the last day installed a<br>
fresh copy and I'm going through the stages of setting it up. So far<br>
everything is working OK except the check for available updates. When<br>
I check for updates I get a message telling me:<br>
<br>
"Unable to fetch any information about available new releases and updates."<br>
<br>
However, I'm struggling to find any further information as to why that<br>
process might be failing (I have so far looked in the apache error log<br>
and the php error log).<br>
<br>
The webserver I'm using for Drupal:<br>
Apache 2.2.4<br>
PHP 5.2.1<br>
Solaris 10 (sparc)<br>
<br>
The database is on a separate host and is:<br>
Mysql 5.1.11 (on Solaris 10, intel)<br>
<br>
Like I say it's a fresh install of Drupal 6.15 with no modification<br>
apart from the fact that I have enabled the path module.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice you can give.<br>
<br>
