PHP Curl script works from browser, doesn't work as Cron Job

Question

I have a very simple PHP script that is supposed to make a POST request. The code is the following:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_s         


        

Answer 1

It turned out to be an authentication problem. I solved it by adding the following two lines to the CURL configuration:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

Hope it helps someone.
