cURL enabled but will not execute..

Linux/Apache server running cpanel. Php shows cURL as enabled, but it will not execute. I am working with someone that wishes to use linkPoint billing. When trying to run the billing script my client receives the error, "Could not execute curl: couldn't connect to host." I have verified that the ports; 1129 and 1139 (LinkPoint ports) are open. So the issue seems to be with cURL not executing. Current cURL report: cURL Status: enabled cURL info: libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6 I need a Linux expert to do the following; - verify that cURL is installed and correctly enabled - successfully execute cURL I can provide root access. This should be a fairly quick job for any qualified Linux expert.
