CWP accoutn API

[porosenoq]

Hello,
my first post here

I am trying to build a module for user registration with payment etc.

I am facing the following problem:

What would be the best approach with the account api ? I am currently trying to use cURL. First the user fills in a form with its desired username, password etc. The form is then submited with POST method to a php file where I am initiating curl session where we pass the form variables to the url, but I always get empty response from server or I get an error that the username is already in the database even if it actually isn't.

my code:

Code Select Expand


<?php
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$domain = $_POST["domain"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$key = "abv123";
$api = "account_new";

$url = 'http://ip:2030/api/?key='.$key.'&api='.$api.'&domain='.$domain.'&username='.$username.'&password='.$password.'&package=1&email='.$email.'&inode=10000&nofile=100&nproc=25';

        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        $tmp = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        if ($tmp === false){
            return $tmp;
        }

else { echo "success!"; }

?>


Would you be so kind and help me with the best way to achieve what I want ?

have you tried to do this manually by using curl from command line ?

Hello,

i've got this problem too... So i tried to diagnose, how to solve the problem. I found out that if you run PHP script as user "nobody" (default apache user), it ends up with this error.

I figured it out by saving PHP piece of code to a file, and then running it with cron /usr/local/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php

What surprised me was, that even running a wget in a cron didn't helped.

Hope someone will find this useful, i've spent a whole weekend on this thing

you need to check the error you get and/or in the logs

I checked.

What was kinda weird was that it sent two requests.

In CWP Apache log i found that first response was ok,  then CWP resets the connection, and then send the "Username already in database" error because the request is called again.

I think (it's only a thought), that something went wrong in API, and before setting password for the user it ended. Weird is, that it's working in a browser.

What is working correctly is creating a user, everything even with this error, but the user has no password set.

When i was looking in messages log, it says that it could not find a passwd file, i tried to look in CWP code, but it is encrypted/encoded, and i respect the rules, so i did'nt dig deeper, then i was looking for a workaround.

Hope it helps :-)
