[RESOLVED] curl function problems on unix server

JLHeidecker

My application worked fine on my windows server with xampp. now there are problems with my curl functions on the unix box. it has something to do with cookies and url following. just isn't working the same way on the unix box for some reason.

anyone have exerience with curl functions breaking when moving to unix box or a new server?

You are going to have to be more specific. Are you using the same versions of libcurl and PHP on both boxes? Are all other parameters exactly the same?

If the answer is no, I'm not surprised.

Additionally, the network environment might affect it, e.g. firewalls, transparent proxies.

Try to get it working from the command line on this unix server.

You should definitely enable all notices, warnings and errors, log them, and post any which seem relevant get if it's not obvious how to proceed on that basis.

Anyone moved their curl-related application to a (l)unix box and had it stop working?

My apache and php configurations are identical. I believe the difference lies in the network config, and instead of spending the next 8 hours debugging, I imagine someone else has run into the same problem before.

Post errors, as MarkR pointed out.
Show us the most simplest form of your code that still fails (e.g. start stripping out the "fluff" and get down to the bare guts of the script that isn't doing what it's supposed to).
