Why does curl work as root and not from php?

Question

linux

When you try to access the address in the browser, the page opens.
If I write https:// address in the curl console under root, then everything works,
but when I do it from php, it doesn’t work. Curl says Curl error: Couldn't resolve host " https://address ". Those. it cannot find the domain in DNS. If you explicitly add this address to /etc/hosts, the error disappears. What could be the problem, Apache has no rights? network settings?

Answer 1

99.99999999% that there are not enough rights

Answer 2

Check that the console client speaks from under the Apache user.

HTTPDUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\  -f1`
sudo -u $HTTPDUSER curl -vvv http://example.com

Answer 3

Oh my God
, did you install it for php at all?
sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Answer 4

> Curl error: Couldn't resolve host " https://address ".
The request was formed incorrectly.
https is a scheme, but for some reason it got into your domain name.
