php socket connect Permission denied :13

Hi there!

For the TCP connections: socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
In case you're having problems in socket_connect() with socket_strerror() = "Permission denied", you may be having a SELinux config issue.

Check if SELinux is enabled:
# /usr/sbin/sestatus -v
In case it is, you can just type the command:
# setsebool httpd_can_network_connect=1

That's it... I read you had to reboot, but I didn't and it worked fine anyway. More info, you may check:
