Socket Question

[ndjustin20]

PHP Version 5.2.5

 

Redhat Linux

 

WHM

 

Cpanel

 

 

I am receiving this error

 

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://:443 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)

 

When I use this code:

 

$posturl = "ssl://" . $host;

$header = "Host: $host\r\n";

$header .= "User-Agent: PHP Script\r\n";

$header .= "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n";

$header .= "Content-Length: ".strlen($content)."\r\n";

$header .= "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";

$fp = fsockopen($posturl, 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);

 

 

 

Any help is appreciated,

PHP was most likely compiled without OpenSSL (hence no SSL support).

 

 

Did you install PHP by compiling it your self or through yum (or what ever RH's name for yum is)?

[ndjustin20]

Ok I didn't compile the PHP so I'm not really certain.  How do I add ssl support at this point?

[corbin]

Hrmmm I don't know if it's possible through yum (I would assume it is).

 

 

If you compiled it your self, you would have to tell PHP where OpenSSL is.  I suggest doing it through yum though.

 

Maybe:

 

yum find "php ssl"

 

Would work.

 

 

Let me get on my Fedora Core box, and I'll see if I can find it.

Here is the link to the phpinfo file:

Do you have SSH access to your server?

 

 

If so, try doing:

 

 

yum install php-openssl

 

 

Or

 

up2date install php-openssl

[ndjustin20]

Used yum install php-openssl and it seemed to work and I now show ssl enabled though I am still receiving the same error

Hrmmmmm.....

 

 

 

I just realized something.

 

Try https:// instead of ssl://
