SOLVED cURL: TCP Connection reset by Peer

[ankeshanand]

I am currently trying to repair a cPanel Server. There is a cURL Error only on Internal Websites hosted by the Server.

On the outside network, cURL works fine but if we cURL Internally, like curl whatever.com:443 or curl https://whatever.com , Its connection is reset.(Whatever.com is hosted on the same server)

The Server currently runs on Litespeed. Any Idea how to resolve this error? (All Server PHP Modules are updated from EA4 and Server is on Version 96. cURL is also updated)

Can you paste the output for the below commands from another machine and from the server hosting this domain ifself:

#curl -vvv  http://whatever.com
#curl -vvv  https://whatever.com

Tried everything but this seems to be the issue with Litespeed in cPanel Only. Litespeed is also working!

• LiteSpeed is running (PID = 3303271, Apache_Port_Offset = 0). Apache is not running.

Normal HTTP and HTTPS requests work correctly and cURL from Remote Machines also do work but only Internally, cURL is having problems in Hosted Websites on the server.

Problem Solved.
The Anti-DDOS Blocked IP in Litespeed WebServer was blocking 127.0.0.1 and Server's Public IP Address. Checked it from Real-Time Stats in Webadmin Console.

The Problem is in Litespeed Server. Their Default Configuration in Access Control List(Trusted IP) is as follows:

127.0.0.1, ALL, (My Server IP)

The Configuration should be:

127.0.0.1T,ALL, (My Server IP)T

The Trailing T stands for Trusted which created all the difference.

Glad to know you were able to fix it.
