PHP error getimagesize failed to open stream: Connection refused

I am using FPDF.php. I get an error when I try to create a PDF “FPDF error: Missing or incorrect image file: http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/image.jpg“

In my error log I get this error:

PHP Warning: getimagesize(http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/image.jpg): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/cluster-sites/2639/c/example.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/nameoftheme/includes/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 1213

I have set allow_url_fopen = ON in php.ini

I think it has something to do with the image path but I’m not sure what. It works fine on my test server.

My code is as follows:

//check if the query_string contains an ID
if(!isset($_REQUEST['id']))
{
header('Location:'.site_url());
exit();
}

//check if the ID is related to a WP_Post
$post = get_post($_REQUEST['id']);
if(empty($post))
{
header('Location:'.site_url());
exit();
}

 //creating the brochure directory if not exists
if(!is_dir(ABSPATH.'wp-content/uploads/brochure'))
