I am not getting any API response from the plesk panel.

Hi All,
I am getting the following response: 'Empty reply from server'.
ERROR: 52 (Nothing was returned from the server)
I am not getting any response from the plesk panel.

I am really not sure what could be wrong. When I use administrator user/pass to log on to the plesk panel, it works fine.

I'm creating the following xml packet request;

XML version is '1.0', with 'UTF-8' encoding.

<packet version="1.4.2.0">
<mail>
<create>
<filter>
<domain_id>1</domain_id>
<mailname>
<name>test_mail_name</name>
<cp_access>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</cp_access>
</mailname>
</filter>
</create>
</mail>
</packet>

My cUrl request is :
$ch = curl_init();
$url = "https://xxxxxxxx:8443/enterprise/control/agent.php";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$packet");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN: {$login}",
"HTTP_AUTH_PASSWD: {$password}",
"HTTP_PRETTY_PRINT: TRUE","Content-Length: 1398",
"Content-Type: text/xml"));

My API RPC v.1.4.2.0
Plesk Panel version : 9.3.0
OS of the control panel: CentOS (Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try to use following PHP script:

<?php

$host="IP_of_server";
$login="admin";
$passwd="Password_here";
$port=8443;

$data = <<<EOF
<packet version="1.4.2.0">
<mail>
<create>
<filter>
<domain_id>1</domain_id>
<mailname>
<name>test_mail_name</name>
<cp_access>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</cp_access>
</mailname>
</filter>
</create>
</mail>
</packet>
EOF;

function write_callback($ch, $data) {
echo $data;
return strlen($data);
}

function sendCommand($data, $login, $passwd, $host, $port=8443) {
$script = "enterprise/control/agent.php";
$url = "https://$host:$port/$script";
$headers = array(
"HTTP_AUTH_OP: $operator",
"HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN: $login",
"HTTP_AUTH_PASSWD: $passwd",
"HTTP_PRETTY_PRINT: TRUE",
"Content-Type: text/xml",
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, &$headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (!$result) {
echo "\n\n-------------------------\ncURL error number:".curl_errno($ch);
echo "\n\ncURL error:".curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
return;
}
sendCommand($data, $login, $pass, $host, $port);

?>

Thank you for the quick response

It worked and I have created new mail account.
Please note the following changes. I hope it will help someone.

1. Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated. So changed the call to:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

2. Use of undefined constant write_callback - assumed 'write_callback'.
3. error 1014 Parser error: Request is invalid.
(1014 Parsing error: wrong format of XML request.)
Change the cp_access node to the currect format.
<permissions>
<cp_access>true</cp_access>
</permissions>

Once again Thank you
