Title: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name res...

I always get this error msg from Paypal when someone buys from my store:

Subject: PayPal IPN Fatal Error on your Site

Hello,
        A fatal error occured while processing a paypal transaction.
        ----------------------------------
        Hostname: www.eliteweaver.co.uk
        URI: /testing/ipntest.php
        php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution (0)
        Status: FAILED

Apparently this runs from notify.php, where www.eliteweaver.co.uk is listed as the testing hostname. I don't see a way to turn off Paypal debug, and I'm not sure what hostname to change it to (mine or Paypal's?) as a kludge. Help? Thanks.

Note: Debug IS off in my store.

Found it... 'Test mode' in Paypal Configuration was set to yes. I know it's not always possible to return pertinent error messages, but this one talked about Debug which got me on the wrong track. Oh well, hope this helps someone!
