So I have a website built in php and it was working perfectly on one server, I then moved the website to a server I have on Digital Ocean and am running into several errors, they seem to be based around http request failures while using the imagick library...
I was hoping to not to have to start debugging this from a code point of view as it was already working perfectly and would prefer to change server settings.
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'Imagick::__construct(): HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found .
I cannot figure out what differences there, on both server allow_url_fopen is set to on.
The php version is different, 5.520 on the original server, 5.5.9 on the new server.
The versions of imagick are the same. I am also getting some other errors using the mpdf library but I will try deal with these later (Im hoping if I can resolved the first ones these ones will also get resolved).
My question is , is there possibly any other setting on the server I should be looking out for that may be causing these php errors?
EDIT:
Just to add more information, i can get rid of some of the errors by changing the file path https://www.example.com/myimage.jpg to /var/www/example/myimage.jpg . This solves some of the errors but I would rather get the root of the issue thats causing it not to work in the first place, because I feel that its the same problem thats causing other errors.
The error code says it: 404, file not found. You are probably using the wrong URL.
Are you able to fetch https://www.example.com/myimage.jpg using a webbrowser?
On several popular linux distros, /var/www/example/myimage.jpg would be served at https://www.example.com/example/myimage.jpg instead of https://www.example.com/myimage.jpg with the default configuration.
[edit]
It just came to my attention that the URL is HTTPS, there is a possibility that the script is rejecting the server certificate. Try with regular HTTP - no point in using SSL if the file is on the same machine.
