I am really in need of some help here! Whenever I try to use fopen, fsockopen, file_get_contents, etc in php to open an https/ssl; resource, i get the following errors: Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL: connection timeout Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto Here is some relevant information from phpinfo(): OpenSSL support enabled OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010 Registered Stream Socket Transports tcp, udp, unix, udg, ssl, sslv3, sslv2, tls Registered PHP Streams https, ftps, compress.zlib, compress.bzip2, php, file, data, http, ftp allow_url_fopen On default_socket_timeout 60 The SSL connection timeout message occurs immediately. The server is not blocking outbound communications as a tcpdump on the server that php is trying to connect to shows connection activity, however, the apache and php logs on this server do not show any entries at all when php tries to connect to it. On the server with php installed on it, openssl appears to be installed correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------- [root@rdcsol-10-01]# /opt/csw/bin/openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010 [root@rdcsol-10-01]# /opt/csw/bin/openssl s_client -connect www<dot>google<dot>com:443 CONNECTED(00000004) depth=1 /C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:0 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=www<dot>google<dot>com i:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA 1 s:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA i:/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIDITCCAoqgAwIBAgIQL9+89q6RUm0PmqPfQDQ+mjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBM MQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkg THRkLjEWMBQGA1UEAxMNVGhhd3RlIFNHQyBDQTAeFw0wOTEyMTgwMDAwMDBaFw0x MTEyMTgyMzU5NTlaMGgxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRMwEQYDVQQIEwpDYWxpZm9ybmlh MRYwFAYDVQQHFA1Nb3VudGFpbiBWaWV3MRMwEQYDVQQKFApHb29nbGUgSW5jMRcw FQYDVQQDFA53d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbTCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkC gYEA6PmGD5D6htffvXImttdEAoN4c9kCKO+IRTn7EOh8rqk41XXGOOsKFQebg+jN gtXj9xVoRaELGYW84u+E593y17iYwqG7tcFR39SDAqc9BkJb4SLD3muFXxzW2k6L 05vuuWciKh0R73mkszeK9P4Y/bz5RiNQl/Os/CRGK1w7t0UCAwEAAaOB5zCB5DAM BgNVHRMBAf8EAjAAMDYGA1UdHwQvMC0wK6ApoCeGJWh0dHA6Ly9jcmwudGhhd3Rl LmNvbS9UaGF3dGVTR0NDQS5jcmwwKAYDVR0lBCEwHwYIKwYBBQUHAwEGCCsGAQUF BwMCBglghkgBhvhCBAEwcgYIKwYBBQUHAQEEZjBkMCIGCCsGAQUFBzABhhZodHRw Oi8vb2NzcC50aGF3dGUuY29tMD4GCCsGAQUFBzAChjJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRoYXd0 ZS5jb20vcmVwb3NpdG9yeS9UaGF3dGVfU0dDX0NBLmNydDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUF AAOBgQCfQ89bxFApsb/isJr/aiEdLRLDLE5a+RLizrmCUi3nHX4adpaQedEkUjh5 u2ONgJd8IyAPkU0Wueru9G2Jysa9zCRo1kNbzipYvzwY4OA8Ys+WAi0oR1A04Se6 z5nRUP8pJcA2NhUzUnC+MY+f6H/nEQyNv4SgQhqAibAxWEEHXw== -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=www<dot>google<dot>com issuer=/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 1772 bytes and written 313 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is RC4-SHA Server public key is 1024 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : RC4-SHA Session-ID: E2CEF3FD72185DD712E49E49F7794445AA9B034B8E6D26023A02D41D1B3E6FD8 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: E35A311ADFB1BA4C53A84D836368316D2057ED794071E16602A6D5CE59E288C99437114AE4E809966D6082B2A826B9F6 Key-Arg : None Start Time: 1282152269 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 20 (unable to get local issuer certificate) ---------------------------------------------------------- Server: SunOS rdcsol-10-01 5.10 Generic_142901-05 i86pc i386 i86pc COmpiler used to compile php: cc: Sun C 5.10 SunOS_i386 2009/06/03 OpenSSL: [root@rdcsol-10-01]# /opt/csw/bin/openssl version -a OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010 built on: Thu Mar 25 21:12:32 CET 2010 platform: solaris-pentium_pro-cc options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(ptr,char) des(ptr,cisc,16,long) idea(int) blowfish(ptr) compiler: cc -KPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -fast -xarch=pentium_pro -O -Xa OPENSSLDIR: "/opt/csw/ssl" ---------------------------------------------------------- Right now, I have compiled php against the OpenSSL packages from OpenCSW.

I am really stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brent.
