AddonDomain Help with Curl

[chrislarge305]

Hi there,

This was working a while ago but I think a Cpanel Update has stopped it from working since that is the only thing that has changed since. Could anyone just check through the following code to make sure that there isnt anything obvious I have checked the docs a few times over but cant seem to see anything there.

function addDomainToCpanel($url,$cpanelusername,$cpanelpassword)
{
$pass = "******";
$queryold = "$url:2083/xml-api/cpanel?user=$cpanelusername&xmlin=<cpanelaction><module>AddonDomain</module><func>addaddondomain</func><args><dir>public_html/domains/domains/$url</dir><newdomain>$url</newdomain><subdomain>$url</subdomain><pass>$pass</pass></args></cpanelaction>
";
$query = "$url:2083/json-api/cpanel?user=$cpanelusername &cpanel_xmlapi_module=AddonDomain&cpanel_xmlapi_func=addaddondomain &cpanel_xmlapi_version=2&dir=public_html/domain/domains/$url&newdomain=$url&subdomain=$url&pass=$pass";

$curl = curl_init();        
# Create Curl Object
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);    
# Allow self-signed certs
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0);     
# Allow certs that do not match the hostname
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER,0);            
# Do not include header in output
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);    
# Return contents of transfer on curl_exec
$header[0] = "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($cpanelusername.":".$cpanelpassword) . "\n\r";
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);  
# set the username and password
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $query);            
# execute the query
$result = curl_exec($curl);
if ($result == false) {
    error_log("curl_exec threw error \"" . curl_error($curl) . "\" for $query");
    echo curl_error($curl);
    echo $query;
    return 0;    
# log error if curl exec fails
}
else
{
    echo curl_error($curl);
    echo"<br><br>";
    echo $query;
    echo"<br><br>";
    return 1;
}

curl_close($curl); 

If I echo the result of the curl it seems to just take me to the cpanel page.

Thanks

Regards

Hi Chris,

I think your problem is that in variable $query, you're cPanel URL is pointed to the JSON API (json-api) yet your parameter keys are for the XML API.

//direct transcription of your $query string for a proper json-api query
$query = "$url:2083/json-api/cpanel?"
               ."user=$cpanelusername"
               ."&cpanel_jsonapi_module=AddonDomain"
               ."&cpanel_jsonapi_func=addaddondomain"
               ."&cpanel_jsonapi_version=2"
               ."&dir=public_html/domain/domains/$url"
               ."&newdomain=$url"
               ."&subdomain=$url"
               ."&pass=$pass";

If you just wanted XML results, then just leave the parameters as 'cpanel_xmlapi_X" and change the first part of the URL back to :2083/xml-api/cpanel?

It that doesn't work, post your $result and well get it figured out.

PS. I find it unusual that the base URL of $query, $url, is also the same as what you provide for the new addon domain's 'newdomain' string. I guess I'm missing something.

PSS. You may want to consider adding some logic similar to the code block below so that you can POST

// Assumes CURLOPT_URL is something like https://$domain:2083/xml-api/cpanel
//$postdata is a regular query string made with http_build_query()
//$authstr is your base64_encode with \r\n

$header[0] = $authstr .
	"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" .
	"Content-Length: " . strlen($postdata) . "\r\n" . "\r\n" . $postdata;
		
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

Have you checked out our XMLAPI.php client class? I can make this sort of thing a breeze. http://sdk.cpanel.net/lib/xmlapi/php..._v1.0.5.tar.gz
