Plesk API

[jefwic]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to integration the Plesk API (which uses XML) with some of my PHP scripts. I haven't worked much with XML, however have read through the tutorials on w3schools.com and am still a little stumped. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with this.


Plesk API Documentation lists the schemas that Plesks uses, and I believe this shows how to use the right commands (is this correct?).

I am trying to use this code:

$data =<<<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<packet version="$proto">
<server>
<get>
<permissions/>
</get>
</server>
</packet>
EOF;

(the $data is part of the PHP submitting)

and the returned XML is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.3.1.0">
  <server>
    <get>
      <result>
        <status>ok</status>
      </result>
    </get>
  </server>
</packet>

(which is the same as if no specific commands are sent)

$data =<<<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<packet version="$proto">
<server>
<get>
<gen_info/>
</get>
</server>
</packet>
EOF;

gets

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <packet version="1.3.1.0">
- <server>
- <get>
- <result>
  <status>ok</status> 
- <gen_info>
  <server_name>TechServer.prod.phx1.secureserver.net</server_name> 
  </gen_info>
  </result>
  </get>
  </server>
  </packet>

I think I'm just a little off in my coding. What I am trying to get is the permissions for a client named "Hosting". If someone knows what I am doing wrong / how to fix it / or where I can learn to do it right it would be great.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, I have managed to get everything working !

However, one question, how do you get the API to enable Apache ASP? I have tried <asp>true</asp> however this is not enabling it, everything else works fine.

Is it possible I am just doing this wrong - that the <asp> is for asp on a windows server on not Apache ASP?

Thanks,
Jeff

EDIT: After re-checking documentation <asp> is definately for Apache ASP. This is possibly a bug. Anyone else had success/problems with this?

You can not set asp using the API. It's a bug that will be fixed in 7.5.4.

Thanks. Do you know if it worked in previous versions, such as 7.5.2?
