cakephp uses old dns entry

In our cakephp application, we do a 

file_get_contents('http://my.web.com',... );

Recently we changed the ip address of my.web.com, and we modified our /etc/hosts file, and flush dns cache using /etc/init.d/nscd restart, and restarted apache.

However, file_get_contents still refer to the old ip address, while if we do ping, nslookup, curl on my.web.com, we get the new ip address.

What are we missing?

Thanks

Solution

  • It turned out the address is also used as Apache's VirtualHost name in our old server. Removing this entry solved the problem. Thanks anyway guys :)
