PHP Fixing error with file_get_contents permission denied

If you don't receive any content with file_get_contents() and curl , like this error below:

file_get_contents('url'): failed to open stream: Permission denied

1. Be sure you have allow_url_fopen=On in your php.ini file. (If someone doesn't know where your php.ini file is, quick check with phpinfo() could get you everything.

2. Check status of SELinux:

sudo sestatus

If the status is enabled , then you can check whether the boolean flags httpd_can_network_connect and httpd_unified are enabled, set to 1:

sudo sestatus -b | grep httpd_can_network_connect and sudo sestatus -b | grep httpd_unified

If they're off, run this command to set them on:

sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1 sudo setsebool -P httpd_unified 1

Best Solution

Resolved by running:

sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
sudo setsebool -P httpd_unified 1
