Question 26854 in CentOS Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Your site is unable to reach WordPress.org at api.wordpress.org – CentOS

I installed Centos 7 + nginx + php 8.1 + mariadb + WordPress.

There is no access to external connections in WordPress.
For example, I don’t have access to the WordPress plugin library

An error occurs: "Your site is unable to reach WordPress.org at api.wordpress.org, and returned the error: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: api.wordpress.org; Unknown error"

But I checked Сurl in Сentos and it works. (like curl https://google.com)

[root@ ~]# curl https://www.google.com

<!doctype html><meta content="Search the world’s information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you’re looking for." name="des…………..

I also tried to change the "hosts" file and DNS settings in "resolve.conf". But it didn’t help.

What could be the problem? As far as I understand, the problem is on the nginx side?

    The problem was with SELinux. I turned it off and everything worked.

    Giving up on the security essential that makes Community Enterprise OS what it is, by disabling it, is never a solution.

    The right way to allow web server processes to connect to external resources is an SELinux boolean switch:

    sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
