cURL unable to post

Hi Ray

Trying to install a new CMS and the activation is failing saying that cUrl is unable to post to the webassist server https://gyazo.com/91773d6c83addc9643bd490df166df5b

Have set up a test page here https://dev.motley.co.uk/testCurl.php

Thanks

Jamie

You can use:

curl_setopt($cHandler, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($cHandler, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

Then it won't be as strict with the ssl check causing it to fail.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Can I get FTP access and a link to the cms install? I'll debug and see what I can find.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

It should be working now. I'm not sure why it was reporting the ssl mismatch, but I added:
curl_setopt($cHandler, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

to the installation test.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Does your hosting admin have an option:

“Pause Cloudflare on Site”

It looks like Cloudflare is interfering with curl. This is something that your hosting provider might be able to help with.

When I request webassist's site with curl it returns:

html:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
<title>One moment, please...</title>

    text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Please wait while your request is being verified...</h1>
<form id="wsidchk-form" style="display:none;" action="/z0f76a1d14fd21a8fb5fd0d03e0fdc3d3cedae52f" method="get">

</form>
<script>
(function(){
    var west=+((+!+[]+!![]+!![])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+[])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+[])+(+![])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+[])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![])),
        east=+((+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![])+(+![]+[])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+[])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![])+(+!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+[])+(+![])),
        x=function(){try{return !!window.addEventListener;}catch(e){return !!0;} },
        y=function(y,z){x() ? document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",y,z) : document.attachEvent("onreadystatechange",y);};
    y(function(){
        document.getElementById('wsidchk').value = west + east;
        document.getElementById('wsidchk-form').submit();
    }, false);
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>

I did some google searches on that message an dpage and it appears to be related to cloudflare, but I'm not 100% sure. One way or another it is using some sort of intermediate to verify the site and that is causing it to fail.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Weird. The hosting Co don't use cloudflare nor have I 'installed' - they have checked their logs within the window when I tried and you replied and they cannot see any blocks on external connections

Not really sure where I go from here?
