Script checking http site code does not run on the server

[zibrnp]

Hello,

I have a php script that is suppose to be checking http status code for submitted URL and return status number.
Please see the code.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

    $url = 'www.google.com';

    $connection = curl_init($url);

    curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
    curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

    curl_exec($connection);

    $http_status = curl_getinfo($connection, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    curl_close($connection);

    echo "\nHTTP Status: $http_status\n";

    if ($http_status == 200 || $http_status == 302) {
        echo "Site is ok\n";
        exit;

        } else {
            echo "Site is not ok\n";
            exit;

                }

?>

When I run it on a local machine it is working well.
If I run in on the server via console it returns error:
"Operation timed out after 30 seconds with 0 bytes received"

I have tried the same script on two other servers (via console) and it works.
I have problem with one server only.
I have checked php.ini on booth servers and they are exactly the same.
I have changed httpd.conf file for Apache they are exactly the same.

No idea what can be wrong.

Any Idea guys?
Thanks!

What happens if you ping the same domain from the problematic console?

Hello,

Thanks for opening my eyes
It was connecting to local IP address.
Address was defined in etc/hosts file.

Thanks
