Description:
------------
This package uses the host ws.geonames.org whereas it should be using the newer api.geonames.org. As of 17th Jan 2014, ws.geonames.org seems to have been removed from DNS, causing the following exception to be raised:
Services_GeoNames_HTTPException: Unable to connect to tcp://ws.geonames.org:80. Error: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
The fix is to change:
public $url = 'http://ws.geonames.org';
to this:
public $url = 'http://api.geonames.org';
in Services/GeoNames.php

Just to note that although here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/geonames/UmPdTGMHjrU the service maintainers state that ws.geonames.org has been disabled, it now appears to be resolving again.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.
If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET).
If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly.
Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release.
Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
