Unable to make php curl request with port number - php

Question

I am unable to make a php curl request with port number , without port number i am getting response properly.
Through terminal when i do curl http://www.sample.com:8088 i am getting response back properly. But not through php curl on doing curl_inf()
i am getting
Array ( [url] => http://www.sample.com:8088/ [content_type] => [http_code] => 0 [header_size] => 0 [request_size] => 0 [filetime] => 0 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 0 [namelookup_time] => 0 [connect_time] => 0 [pretransfer_time] => 0 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 0 [speed_download] => 0 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => -1 [upload_content_length] => -1 [starttransfer_time] => 0 [redirect_time] => 0 [certinfo] => Array ( ) )
My code
$url = "http://www.sample.com:8088/";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 400);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, True);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, True);
$report=curl_getinfo($ch);
print_r($report);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
this code give me response from ubuntu , but not giving response from cent os if port number is specified.
Please let me know the how to fix it.
THanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try to set the port like this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']);
or:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

Answer 2

Try to set
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);
See more info http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

Answer 3

Add
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);
Curl_setopt reference

Answer 4

"setsebool httpd_can_network_connect on" resolves the problem for me

Answer 5

Make sure that the port 8080 is enabled in Cent OS
and try this curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

Answer 6

I went to server admin with this problem and he changed configuration in centos
in folder /etc/sysconfig/
he edited file selinux and change SELINUX=disabled and restated it.
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
and my problem got solved.
