Error trying to connect to FedEx Ship Service API when using PHP

I had decided to integrate FedEx Shipping Service into one of my online apps. I downloaded a sample PHP code from the FedEX developer center. But when I tried to work with the ShipGroundDomestic.php5 I am getting error. I modified the file according to my specifications & plugged in the credentials. But I am unable to make it work. I am getting following error,

Fault Code:HTTP String:Could not connect to host

I have made sure that there are no file path issues & other related issues. But I am constantly getting this error. I was wondering if any of you guys have worked with this & would know how to resolve this. I tried contacting the FedEx guys but its unhelpful.

+1 A:

Have you done a packet capture to see if you are generating/sending packets or if it fails before that. If it fails to generate packets then check to make sure the app is resolving the URL properly.

Do you mean the components for constructing the request like MeterNumber, AccountNumber etc? Then yeah they are being initialized properly. The point of failure is $response = $client->processShipment($request); // FedEx web service invocation

Nope, I mean capture on the network device to see if you're actually generating requests, or if it is failing before that.

Download and install wireshark : http://www.wireshark.org/download.html This program attaches to your network device and will show all traffic inbound and outbound.If you are running a version of linux on the server you can use a commandline version called tcpump. eg) tcpdump -i any dst port 80 or dst port 443

Thanks. This worked. I found out that the web server was firewalled to outside internal network. So had my networks guy configure fix this. Thanks again!
