I fixed it 
If you google on "fsockopen and selinux" you'll see that it's a known problem...
When using Red Hat Fedora, beware of Security Enhanced Linux, SELinux.
Quoted from Red Hat: "The security goal is to make sure that Apache HTTP is only reading the static Web content, and not doing anything else such as writing to the content, connecting to database sockets, reading user home directories, etc."
I fixed it by doing following:
[root@cypres init.d]# setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
[root@cypres init.d]# ./httpd restart
