When I start the phoronix-test-suite I get the following error message.

matthias@xaYn ~/download/phoronix-test-suite $ ./phoronix-test-suite

The output of "php -i"

Do you have some ideas how I can solve this problem or how I could analyse my problem.

Are you behind a proxy or anything like that? If so that might be the case. Otherwise it looks like you're on Gentoo? They have poor PHP defaults. Look in the PTS documentation or search the forums about allow_url_fopen (I think that's the option name) that I believe is disabled by default in Gentoo PHP but should be enabled.

Thank you.

I found this thread.

After changing url_fopen to On in /etc/php/cli-php5.3/php.ini it worked.
