PHP CURL GET 403 forbidding
Get the solution ↓↓↓
I have installed a new ubuntu server v20 with PHP Version 7.4.3 to move a web application from an older ubuntu server v18 with PHP Version 7.0 and I am getting a 403 error on the new server when performing a CURL REST API GET. Bellow is the code with the error debug, portions of the license key have been modified for the post. I haven't been able to find anything related to this searching around existing posts. Thanks for the help in advance
ob_start();
$out = fopen('php://output', 'w');
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "http://license.cmadsystems.com?lic=P9xP1o7USRLkS591cFzBbLSmI9ZTtvR7xgfr86dtYiCZuhy",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0",
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
CURLOPT_STDERR => $out,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"Content-Type: application/json"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
fclose($out);
$debug = ob_get_clean();
echo $response;
echo $err;
echo $debug;

Answer
Solution:
In my case it this was a DNS issue. license.cmadsystems.com was resolving to the wrong IP address.
Answer
Solution:
echo file_get_contents(
"http://license.cmadsystems.com?lic=P9xP1o7USRLkS591cFzBbLSmI9ZTtvR7xgfr86dtYiCZuhy"
);
Returns
"status":200,
"status_message":"Licensed",
"data":{
"Lic_End":null,
"Lic_Device":0,
"Lic_MOH":0,
"Lic_Info":null
}
}
