cURL + OpenSSL + PHP not working

Re: cURL + OpenSSL + PHP not working

Your test link is still broken and your email address still doesn't work.
I've tried to help -- again -- but can't so I'll repeat what I said before:
are you sure curl is compiled into apache? And that all this is going to
work with easyapache?

Re: cURL + OpenSSL + PHP not working

Hello Tex John,

The test URL is here:

http://www.canadiandropshipping.com/squirrelcart/diag_curl.php

strange, the mailing list software seemed to abbreviated it.

How do I test if curl is compiled into apache?

Thanks for your help.

Chris

This works fine on my box (where I just had PHP and Apache recompiled with
curl and openssl).

Well, the first one works so curl works. The other one times out so never
gets around to throwing the curl error. You can try upping your curl timeout
to see if you can get to an error, but I suspect that won't help. Smells
like a server problem.

Something else I would suggest you check is that that outgoing port is open
all the way to the net. Firewalls, routers....

Do you have any SSL certs correctly installed and running which would
indicate SSL was fully functional in Apache? Maybe you can get an idea or
two from here:

PHP: OpenSSL Functions - Manual

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php

OpenSSL Functions

You may need to switch to a server NG since it looks like PHP is ok unless
something funny is going on with your openssl install.
