Problems with plesk Api RPC

[bibawa]

Dear,

I'm new to plesk API, we want integrate our webshop with plesk. I read through the PLESK API documentation and found the PHP Code examples, I copied that script but that doesn't seems to work.
The script is looking like this:

<?php
 
/**
 * Reports error during API RPC request
 */
class ApiRequestException extends Exception {}
 
/**
 * Returns DOM object representing request for information about all available domains
 * @return DOMDocument
 */
 
function domainsInfoRequest()
{
      $xmldoc = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
      $xmldoc->formatOutput = true;
 
      // <packet>
      $packet = $xmldoc->createElement('packet');
      $packet->setAttribute('version', '1.6.2.0');
      $xmldoc->appendChild($packet);
 
      // <packet/domain>
      $domain = $xmldoc->createElement('domain');
      $packet->appendChild($domain);
 
      // <packet/domain/get>
      $get = $xmldoc->createElement('get');
      $domain->appendChild($get);
 
      // <packet/domain/get/filter>
      $filter = $xmldoc->createElement('filter');
      $get->appendChild($filter);
 
      // <packet/domain/get/dataset>
      $dataset = $xmldoc->createElement('dataset');
      $get->appendChild($dataset);
 
      // dataset elements
      $dataset->appendChild($xmldoc->createElement('hosting'));
      $dataset->appendChild($xmldoc->createElement('gen_info'));
 
      return $xmldoc;
}

/**
 * Prepares CURL to perform the Panel API request
 * @return resource
 */
function curlInit($host, $login, $password)
{
      $curl = curl_init();
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://{$host}:8443/enterprise/control/agent.php");
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST,           true);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
             array("HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN: {$login}",
                    "HTTP_AUTH_PASSWD: {$password}",
                    "HTTP_PRETTY_PRINT: TRUE",
                    "Content-Type: text/xml")
      );
 
      return $curl;
}

/**
 * Performs a Panel API request, returns raw API response text
 *
 * @return string
 * @throws ApiRequestException
 */
function sendRequest($curl, $packet)
{
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $packet);
      $result = curl_exec($curl);
      if (curl_errno($curl)) {
             $errmsg  = curl_error($curl);
             $errcode = curl_errno($curl);
             curl_close($curl);
             throw new ApiRequestException($errmsg, $errcode);
      }
      curl_close($curl);
      return $result;
}
 
/**
 * Looks if API responded with correct data
 *
 * @return SimpleXMLElement
 * @throws ApiRequestException
 */
function parseResponse($response_string)
{
      $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response_string);
      if (!is_a($xml, 'SimpleXMLElement'))
             throw new ApiRequestException("Cannot parse server response: {$response_string}");
      return $xml;
}

/**
 * Check data in API response
 * @return void
 * @throws ApiRequestException
 */
function checkResponse(SimpleXMLElement $response)
{
      $resultNode = $response->domain->get->result;
 
      // check if request was successful


      if ('error' == (string)$resultNode->status)
             throw new ApiRequestException("The Panel API returned an error: " . (string)$resultNode->result->errtext);
}
 
//
// int main()
//
$host = 'hostname';
$login = 'username';
$password = 'pa$$sword';
 
$curl = curlInit($host, $login, $password);
 
try {
 
      $response = sendRequest($curl, domainsInfoRequest()->saveXML());
      $responseXml = parseResponse($response);
      checkResponse($responseXml);
 
} catch (ApiRequestException $e) {
      echo $e;
      die();
}
 
// Explore the result
foreach ($responseXml->xpath('/packet/domain/get/result') as $resultNode) {
      echo "Domain id: " . (string)$resultNode->id . " ";
      echo (string)$resultNode->data->gen_info->name . " (" . (string)$resultNode->data->gen_info->dns_ip_address . ")\n";
}
 
?>

When I run that script I receive the following output:

exception 'ApiRequestException' with message 'couldn't connect to host' in /customers/domain/domain/httpd.www/subdir/plesktest.php:83 Stack trace: #0 /customers/domain/domain/httpd.www/subdir/plesktest.php(130): sendRequest(Resource id #1, '

Does anybody knows what's going wrong ?

With regards,

Steve Vos

OK,
THe problems seems that my host blocks outbound request to port 8443..
