Sounds like it's almost certainly a problem with your config. It looks
like your script is looking in the current script instead of online for
your URL. It might be worth running some diagnostics on that server to
check that the DNS is working correctly, and that you can access
websites by their domain name. If you can't, try accessing it by IP
address (which can be obtained by pinking the domain name).

Hope this gives you somewhere to start.
