505 error when accessing images outside server

Posted on December 22, 2015

Good day, i have a php issue.

I’m making a online tool that resizes given images by a url.

my problem is when i pass the image’s url, from an external website like imgur.com , to the imagecreatefrompng() function, it gives me a 500 error code.

I’ve also tried file_exists() and is_readable() and they both return false.

Which is strange because on the web hosting service i was using before digitalocean, this worked out just fine.

Thank you for your time.
