Wget Error

By looking at the image can you tell if the error is my fault. No matter what I try to install I get the same error. The vps hosting company says it's my fault.

/etc/resolv.conf
add
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Thanks for the quick reply! So in order to install software on the server I need to edit
/etc/resolv.conf . What would be the correct format to insert ip's in "resolv.conf". Believe it or not I sent them the same image and they told me I didn't know how to follow instructions. I guess since I'm new to a vps the hosting company decided not to tell me that one.

your host told you, you can't follow direction? lol

Some may find that amusing but I didn't....

^^ lolll ????

your host told you, you can't follow direction? lol

If they would of told me to edit "/etc/resolv.conf " I wouldn't be here...

Have you tried editing:

/etc/resolv.conf

and adding the IP's?

The IP's should be used for DNS resolving.

Googles:

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I'm not with any hosting company now, so I can't try that now. Looking for a friendlier vps hosting company, if there is one. I guess if you're new to a vps don't bother to try one with support like that. Their atitude is we know and screw you
since you don't...

What I couldn't understand why did they bother to give me the commands to install Kloxo when they already knew I couldn't do it. Why? Because I didn't know anything about editing "/etc/resolv.conf". They could of told me to edit the file but I guess it was more fun for them to see me squirm. So much for customer satisfaction...

Did you check if they were selling them as managed or unmanaged vps ?

If they were unmanaged then most hosts are not really willing to help you which is fair enough

Also dont forget google is your friend their are millions of newbie friendly guides out their to help you set up your vps for the first time
