Help with API - Failed to locate method (login) in class (soap)

[mncahill]

I've been pounding my head on the API for days.  I have yet to get a decent result from it.  Client is working fine.  I suspect issues with Soap::Lite

I'm seeing this error in my server log: [Thu Nov 21 10:22:57 2013] [error] [client 10.0.10.116] Handler for perl-script returned invalid result code 1

In my client (I have tried both nuSoap and standard soap clients with PHP - this is using nuSoap, due to debug capabilities):

[faultcode] => soap:Client
    [faultstring] => Failed to locate method (login) in class (soap) at /usr/local/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2896.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

I'm sending you an email thread that might prove helpful.

Thanks Matt!

I am a little further along - my SoapAction was incorrect - while it needs to make the request to http://ipaddresshere:8082/soap  the soap action is actually http://ipaddresshere/NicToolServer/SOAP#login which corresponds with my setup.

Now I've got a   [faultstring] => Can't use string ("domains") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/share/perl5/NicToolServer/SOAP.pm line 13.  error - but that looks debuggable

My problems were coming from a few directions:

1. As noted above, difference between request uri and action
2. Using nuSoap introduced a lot of problems - stick to Php Soap function for client.

So, here is a very simple soap client with some notes in hopes others won't need to go through the intense debug I did

$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => "http://ServerIpHere:8082/soap",
'uri'      => "http://serverIpHere/NicToolServer/SOAP"));
$response = $client->login($requestParams);

$response = $client->new_zone($requestParams);

print_r($result);

print_r($response);
