Hi,

I am having an issue while connecting to SuiteCRM 7.7 through SugarAPI. See the attached image of my code, when I run, it says ā€˜couldnā€™t connect to hostā€™.
I can access the URL from browser and the username & password are also correct. the same code works fine on localhost but on live system it fails.

Please help me to fix this.

thanks

Could this be a firewall or network restriction issue?

Yes, I think so, I tried contacting web hosting support to see this, they said its your software issue. Can you explain how to resolve this from server or from coding site.

thanks

Create a page on the root of your web host with the following code:

$ch = curl_init("http://google.com");    // initialize curl handle
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    print($data);

And then run this page in your browser. If you are not seeing the Google home page, it is an issue with your host.

Hi digitalmcgrath,

thank you for helping me, I ran the code you suggested and it worked fine. But in the same file where I access google home page, when I try to access the CRM URL (any version of API like V4 or V4_1 or V3 etc) it says the same error message ā€˜couldnā€™t connect to hostā€™. From browser I can access those API urls directory.

I tried to contact web-hosting they said they will try to track the issue but the possible reason is our package is shared hosting and that applies some restrictions.

thanks
