PHP CURL works on windows, but getting a 404 on Linux

Question

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.rlsnet.ru/tn_alf_letter_1.htm');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
echo $data;
exit;

I use this code on my windows machine and the page is loaded well with code 200 ok, but if I put this code on my hosting linux, then I get 404 error, what can be the reason of that?

er.. just to be on the safe side, is cURL installed in linux? — darshandzend, Sep 30 '13 at 13:45
yes if it were not installed, it won't be even executed, the execution is ok, but the answer is 404 — yeah its me, Sep 30 '13 at 13:46
Did you check the URL is the same when you tested your code on linux? — Cobra_Fast, Sep 30 '13 at 13:48
I just executed the exact same code on c9.io, which worked. It seems to me that the code is correct. — darshandzend, Sep 30 '13 at 13:48
Why are you spamming the SO with same questions? First [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19089349/php-curl-getting-404-while-in-browser-all-is-fine), then [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19094142/php-different-response-headers-404-and-200) and again this question. — Glavić, Sep 30 '13 at 13:49
I think your hosting cannot give permission to execute cUrl because of PHP safemod etc. — Dalım Çepiç, Sep 30 '13 at 13:51
the function itself is executed, IT WORKS FINE, but the answer is 404 — yeah its me, Sep 30 '13 at 13:52
Perhaps your hosts/network/dns configuration is screwed. Install lynx and try the url with it. But don't post the same question more than once.. — Daniel W., Sep 30 '13 at 13:55

Perhaps its easier to use file_get_contents if you only need the content of the page.

Sometimes curl is not enabled or its a bug in the curl module.

<?php
$res = file_get_contents('http://www.rlsnet.ru/tn_alf_letter_1.htm');
echo $res;

the same happens with file_get_contents I get 404 error – yeah its me Sep 30 '13 at 13:52
Then its possible that the port is blocked for outgoing connections. Is it a hoster? Or your own server? – René Höhle Sep 30 '13 at 13:52

no, look if the url is http://www.rlsnet.ru - it will be okay, but this url http://www.rlsnet.ru/tn_alf_letter_1.htm - gives me an 404 error and only in linux, in windows is all okay – yeah its me Sep 30 '13 at 13:53
