No response to CURL from Fedex server, check CURL availability?

[zc-newbie]

this is what i'm getting from the site... during checkout... its not giving me any rates...

FedEx Express
No response to CURL from Fedex server, check CURL availability, or maybe timeout was set too low, or maybe the Fedex site is down

Make sure that you have CURL enabled on your box,
make sure of the path to cURL and make sure that if its by proxy that you set the URL for it

my server got hacked - they set up a new server - everything was working until they changed the settings. Linkpoint started giving me problems then so I asked the hosting folks to recompile php with curl because this has solved similar problems in the past. Now the fedex module that was working isn't working any longer.

I get the message
No data returned from Fedex, perhaps the Fedex site is down

which tells me that I'm simply no longer connecting and would assume it's curl. But since it was working before they recompiled, I would assume the curl path is still not needed.

You have any ideas about what to do next? My hosting folks are clueless; my customers are trying to be patient; I'm trying to hold on to my sanity while cleaning up 60 sites with problems due to hosting. (yes, I'm moving to a dedicated server soon!)

i tried uploaded the changed file to zen cart now i'm getting this response...

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: fedexexpress in /home2/mflora/public_html/includes/classes/shipping.php on line 47

issue is fixed
we just uploaded fresh files

[delia]

uploaded files? to his server or what?

[Merlinpa1969]

Yes we uploaded fresh files,
the same ones that you have
his were modified,

you may need to contact your host and find out 1. if they have cURL installed
if they do is in a special path
or if cURL is by proxy

curl is installed - running the curl test script,
<?php

$ch = curl_init("http://www.whatever.com/");
$fp = fopen("index.php", "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
?>

returns
the index page but with these errors
Warning: fopen(index.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 4

Warning: curl_setopt(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 6

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 11

You got a clue? My hosting folks don't have a single one.

There's no change in the curl path and no proxy.

Sounds like php settings to me.
