Curl is not working on my live server - php

Question

I have using sms gateway api on my server
$live_url = "http://sms6.routesms.com:8000/bulksms/bulksms?username=XXX&password=XXX&type=1&dlr=0&destination=XXX&source=routesms&message=CurlSecond";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $live_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
For this,
if i do var_dump(curl_exec($ch));, It is showing false
if i do var_dump(curl_getinfo($ch));, It is showing like
array(26) { ["url"]=> string(153) "http://sms6.routesms.com:8000/bulksms/bulksms?username=XXX&password=XXX&type=1&dlr=0&destination=XXX&source=routesms&message=CurlSecond" ["content_type"]=> NULL ["http_code"]=> int(0) ["header_size"]=> int(0) ["request_size"]=> int(0) ["filetime"]=> int(-1) ["ssl_verify_result"]=> int(0) ["redirect_count"]=> int(0) ["total_time"]=> float(62.345893) ["namelookup_time"]=> float(0.08692) ["connect_time"]=> float(0) ["pretransfer_time"]=> float(0) ["size_upload"]=> float(0) ["size_download"]=> float(0) ["speed_download"]=> float(0) ["speed_upload"]=> float(0) ["download_content_length"]=> float(-1) ["upload_content_length"]=> float(-1) ["starttransfer_time"]=> float(0) ["redirect_time"]=> float(0) ["certinfo"]=> array(0) { } ["primary_ip"]=> string(0) "" ["primary_port"]=> int(0) ["local_ip"]=> string(0) "" ["local_port"]=> int(0) ["redirect_url"]=> string(0) "" }
What i have to do?
I can't understand the issue?
I have tried one more way, Instead of curl, i have used
file($live_url);
This is also not working

Please cross check is curl is installed on your server, if curl is not installed try following.
If it is ubontu server RUN
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Restart Your Server
sudo service apache2 restart
Alternatively, if you are using php-fpm, you'll need to restart php5-fpm instead
sudo service php5-fpm restart
Hope this works ...
