After upgrading Easy Apache from 3 to 4, I am now getting a cURL SSL error:

'35: The error message is SSL connect error'

The cURL SSL options are:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, 'RC4-MD5');

The server's cURL settings are:

curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.21 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2


Can you see what I need to do?

Hello,

You can verify that cURL is installed for the version of PHP utilized by this website with a command such as:

Code:
rpm -qa|grep php-curl
The output will resemble this, depending on what PHP versions are installed:

Code:
# rpm -qa|grep php-curl
ea-php55-php-curl-5.5.38-8.8.6.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php70-php-curl-7.0.14-1.1.6.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php56-php-curl-5.6.29-1.1.5.cpanel.x86_64
Is this the error message you reported from an actual script using cURL with PHP over SSL, or from a script that's testing if the server supports cURL SSL? There's a thread where this is discussed at:

curlssl missing?

Thank you.

Thank you for replying.

Some context:
The error is happening on what was a working e-commerce website.
The bit that took the money involved passing an XML message to a processor over a cURL post with the SSL settings above.
I updated to Easy Apache 4 (from 3) and it knocked this cURL request out, with it now returning "SSL connect error".

Running the command:
Code:
rpm -qa|grep php-curl
Returns
Code:
ea-php55-php-curl-5.5.38-8.8.6.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php71-php-curl-7.1.0-14.14.2.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php56-php-curl-5.6.29-1.1.6.cpanel.x86_64
ea-php54-php-curl-5.4.45-26.26.6.cpanel.x86_64
The website I'm looking at is running 5.6.29.

I also experienced the similar issue today after converting from EA3 to EA4. The curl was installed in EA3 but it was missing from PHP 5.6 after the conversion, however, I found PHP 5.5 and 7.0 have the curl installed. I've fixed the issue by re-compile the cpanel default profile "CloudLinux + All PHP Options + OpCache" instead of the conversion profile.
