Remoting Framework

[dayjahone]

I am trying to set up Remoting Framework so I can add users to a website remotely.

Do we still need to change the ISPConfig install script so it doesn't disable xml? If so, is there a way to do it retroactively as I've already installed ISPConfig 2.2.27.

I also installed remoting framework, added a user, checked all the little boxes under the user, and uncommented the function to add a reseller in the test.php file, and I when I browse to mydomain.com/test.php, I get Script end ... but it doesn't actually create a reseller.

Also, can you still use Remoting Framework to add users? I had this working a long time ago and used the following:

// Add User
$params = array ( 'sid' => $session_id,
'module' => 'web',
'function' => 'user_add',
'params' => array ( web_title => 'mydomain.com', // web_title or web_id
user_username => $new_username_field,
user_name => $first_name,
user_email => $new_username_field,
user_passwort => $new_password_field,
user_speicher => 0,
user_mailquota => 1000,
user_admin => 0
));

$user_id = $soap_client->call('service',$params);
if($err = $soap_client->getError()) die("Error: ".$err);

I tried it and again got "script end..." without it adding a user.

[till]

Do we still need to change the ISPConfig install script so it doesn't disable xml?

No.

Also, can you still use Remoting Framework to add users?

Yes.

Which version of the remoting framework did you install?

[dayjahone]

The latest and greatest: Remoting extension 4.2 Beta.

I seem to remember in an older version, "add users" was an option you can give your remoting access user. I don't see that anymore.

Any idea why I'm not getting an error, but it's not doing anything?

Thanks.

[dayjahone]

I just barely setup the system...installed hardy heron, ISPConfig 2.2.27, and remoting extension 4.2...

[till]

Which message do you get if you call the remoting URL, the one that you specified in the remoting client script, directly in a browser?

[dayjahone]

I didn't specify it, but, in the test.php file there is /remote/index.php. So, if I go to https://server1.mydomain.com:81/remote/index.php, I get the following:

Servermethod '' not defined in service ''

[till]

Ok, thats fine. But you must specify the complete URL in the test file.

[dayjahone]

So, in the test.php file, it should say:

$soap_client = new soap_client($server_url.'https://server1.mydomain.com:81/remote/index.php');

?

[dayjahone]

It gives me an error and says it cannot resolve the host. I looked back in the old file that worked on the old machine and it and it had the following, which is the same in the test.php file:

// Insert here your 42go Server
$server_url = "https://server1.mydomain.com:81";

// creating object for SoapClient
$soap_client = new soap_client($server_url.'/remote/index.php');

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

[till]

This is fine. Just make sure that https://server1.mydomain.com:81 is correct. Also you need to install the openssl extension for php on the server that runs the client as you connect with https and not http.

[dayjahone]

I'm assuming it's correct. When I go to https://server1.mydomain.com:81, I can login.

What is the package name for openssh extension? Is this not part of the perfect setup? (I'm running Hardy Heron).

[till]

I'm assuming it's correct. When I go to https://server1.mydomain.com:81, I can login.

This does only mean that you installed ISPCOnfig correctly and not the the php which runs the client script has openssl compiled in. Where did you run the client script?

[dayjahone]

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean. This is the extent of what I have done:

1) Setup ISPConfig according to the perfect setup.
2) Created the website www.newdomain.com
2) Installed remoting plugin using the update manager.
3) added a user and a password and gave him all of the rights.
4) Edited the test.php file by adding
$server_url = "https://server1.mydomain.com:81";
and
$parameters = array('user' => 'user',
'pass' => 'password');
and uncommenting the function to create a reseller.
5) I then uploaded test.php, soap.lib.php, and auto.php to ftp.newdomain.com.

[jnsc]

I you are courageous and if this is not a production server, you may try to replace /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_soap.obj.php and soap.lib.php by the one I posted here http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=270

[dayjahone]

It's not a production server, so I will try that...thanks...I'm a little surprised to run into problems when I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary.

[dayjahone]

Now, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'soap_client' not found in /var/www/web1/web/test.php on line 18

So I did a search and replace for all every instance of soapclient and changed it to soap_client based on the first times I tried this and still no luck: http://howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13855&highlight=uncaught+SoapFault+exception

I have no idea where it is at now. How can I uninstall the plug-in and start over...and is this advisable? Did I do anything wrong in my initial setup?

[jnsc]

Sorry, this was not explained very well in the bug report, you will have to replace soapclient, or now soap_client with nusoap_client.

[dayjahone]

Now I get the following error:

Error: Response not of type text/xml: text/html

[jnsc]

Ok, try to past this echo '<h2>Request</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($soapclient->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($soapclient->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
in your test.php file

[dayjahone]

I wasn't sure where to put it, but here is what I have now in my test file:

Which brand of Linux was remoting access written for? I don't mind re-installing everything...I just want it to work.

[till]

Which brand of Linux was remoting access written for?

For all linux distributions supported by ISPCOnfig.

[jnsc]

You shouhld set this debuging variables just after

$reseller_id = $nusoap_client->call('service',$params);

and if you still does not seen the debuging info, you should place it just after

// Login into 42go Server
$session_id = $nusoap_client->call('login',$parameters);

I just saw that you also renamed the $soapclient variable to $nusoap_client so the text sould also be

echo '<h2>Request</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($nusoap_client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($nusoap_client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

I'm using the remoting framework with debian, and everything is working fine.

[dayjahone]

When I placed it under
// Login into 42go Server
$session_id = $nusoap_client->call('login',$parameters);
I got the following:

Error: Response not of type text/xml: text/html

I was asking about which brand of Linux because I've done this twice, neither time doing anything custom and neither time deviating from the perfect setup for ubuntu, and both times, it hasn't worked too well. The first time took a lot of posts and tinkering to get it to work. I was wondering if it was smoother with other brands. I picked ubuntu because I thought it was most common.

In /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/remote/index.php replace soap_server with nusoap_server

[jnsc]

This looks like you didn't had libxml2-dev installed when you installed ISPConfig.

what is the output of sudo dpkg-query -W -f='${Status} ${Version}\n' libxml2-dev

If it's not installed you will need to install it
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev and then either recompile ISPConfigs PHP with XML support, or, the simply method, reinstall ISPConfig. Since 2.2.24 ISPConfig detects if libxml2-dev is installed and if yes it enables XML in the bundled PHP.

[dayjahone]

Wow! So, it worked. The problem must have been that I installed the package after installing ISPConfig. So, I am still having problems with the form that I used on my old system. I am trying to check for a user and if the username doesn't exist, create it. If I just have the add user script, it works, but if it's already there, it doesn't give me an error, but echos the following:

Error: Response not of type text/xml: text/html

When I have both scripts, I get that error regardless and it doesn't create a user. Here are the functions I am using:

// Get a User
$params = array ( 'sid' => $session_id,
'module' => 'web',
'function' => 'user_get',
'params' => array ( user_username => $new_username_field // user_username or user_id
));

$user = $nusoap_client->call('service',$params);
if($err = $nusoap_client->getError()) die("Error: ".$err);

// Add User
$params = array ( 'sid' => $session_id,
'module' => 'web',
'function' => 'user_add',
'params' => array ( web_title => 'mydomain.com', // web_title or web_id
user_username => $new_username_field,
user_name => $first_name,
user_email => $new_username_field,
user_passwort => $new_password_field,
user_speicher => 0,
user_mailquota => 1000,
user_admin => 0
));

$user_id = $nusoap_client->call('service',$params);
if($err = $nusoap_client->getError()) die("Error: ".$err);

// 42go Server logout
$nusoap_client->call('logout',array('sid' => $session_id));

// Error Check
if($err = $nusoap_client->getError()) die("Error: ".$err);

This same code worked fine on the old system. I'm not sure what's wrong.

[dayjahone]

Jnsc,

C'mon, it's soooo close....Please help with this last little piece.

[jnsc]

Try also to use the debugging function in the case you get "Error: Response not of type text/xml: text/html"

[dayjahone]

I don't understand this, but I did a fresh install (for multiple reasons), uploaded the test file and it didn't work. I changed the remoting access user's password to something without numbers or any fancy stuff and it worked fine.
