http_code 0 with Redhat php curl


I can use lynx to access a website from the server fine. When I try to access the same website with a php curl instruction I get http_code=>0 from curl_getinfo($ch); The same php code on another redhat server in the same data centre works fine. I have admin access to the server.

I have tried php 7.4 and php 8.0. curl is enabled when I call phpinfo(); I am unsure how to debug this error!

It is RHEL 8.8

This is the output from curl_getinfo($ch);

Array ( [url] =>
