I'm trying to get data from external website using cURL in PHP but it's not working.
CURL is enabled in phpinfo().
My test code is not working in CentOS 8/nginx server where the $result=FALSE, but works fine in Debian9/nginx.
$ch=curl_init ("http://somogyivakok.hu/");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
Do you have any idea what is wrong?
cURL Version is 7.61.
The resource you're looking for is not at somogyivakok.hu but at www.somogyivakok.hu. So you can use the correct uri or instruct the script to follow redirects using the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option as per the following example:
$ch = curl_init ("http://somogyivakok.hu/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Update:
Investigating further, despite the issue with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, as curl_exec returned false there is also an issue with the server configuration and more precisely with httpd_can_network_connect.
Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE to debug the following is logged:
Immediate connect fail for 1.1.1.1: Permission denied
On this thread we've found the solution is to run the following command on the server shell:
sudo setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1
http://somogyivakok.hu/ is redirecting with a 301 to http://www.somogyivakok.hu/ (Ps. If you're using Chrome the www part is hidden by the browser).curl_exec returns false there might be some other error. Could you use curl_error and provide the returned error (check the first example here)?Curl_error returns an empty string. I also debugged with CURLOPT_VERBOSE returns the following: Trying 94.199.183.214... * TCP_NODELAY set * Immediate connect fail for 94.199.183.214: Permission denied * Closing connection 0curl_error could you return also curl_errno output (more info here)?
