connection timeout in update.php --init-updates

[Rajavelu]

Met the following connection timeout error while init updates.

/Nominatim-3.1.0/build>./utils/update.php --init-updates
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/andorra-updates/state.txt): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/user/Nominatim-3.1.0/build/utils/update.php on line 65

Cannot find state.txt file at the configured replication URL.
Does the URL point to a directory containing OSM update data?

ERROR: replication URL not reachable.
replication URL not reachable.

Works fine for me (centos7, php5.4)

php -r 'echo file_get_contents("https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/andorra-updates/state.txt");'
# original OSM minutely replication sequence number 3043991
timestamp=2018-07-04T19\:59\:02Z

Check if other URLs work, e.g. 'https://example.com'. If not check if allow-url-fopen is set to On in your php.ini (probably /etc/php.ini) http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
