JSON error, help please

[Alex Beckenham]

Hi,

I've been trying to debug something for 2 hours now, so frustrating.

exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to connect to http://myusername:mypassword@127.0.0.1:8332/'

Any reason why it wouldn't be able to connect even though my username and password are correct?

It throws this error when I try to do

Code:

$bitcoin -> sendfrom(PROGRAM_NAME,$pay_out_address,0.01);

Also I've double-checked the logs and the 3 args I'm sending to this function are completely valid.

Thanks

Can you please give the full raw error?
Also, a little bit more of your code would help to see how you connected.

The weird thing is I can easily do $bitcoin->validateaddress('biwoejfiwjefiwojeifow');  with no problem; it connects to the wallet and returns valid info.

Code:

Array
(
    [isvalid] => 1
    [address] => biwoejfiwjefiwojeifow
    [ismine] => 
)

However just a couple of lines after that when I try to do the send it says it can't connect.

Code:

try {
	$pay_out_address_details=$bitcoin->validateaddress($new_user['pay_out_address']);
	echo '<pre>';
	print_r($pay_out_address_details);
	echo '</pre>';
}
catch (Exception $e) {
	echo $e.'<br>';
	die("<p>Server error! Please contact the admin.</p>");
}							

It gets past that bit, but immediately after it is this, which it breaks on:

Code:

if ($pay_out_address_details['isvalid']==1) {
	//add_to_log('Valid address... sending '.$new_user['pay_out_amount'].' BTC...');
	$sendamt=number_format($new_user['pay_out_amount'],2,'.','');
	if ($sendamt<=1000) {
		
		try {
			$bitcoin->sendfrom(PROGRAM_NAME,$new_user['pay_out_address'],$sendamt);
		}
		catch (Exception $e) {
			echo $e.'<br>';
			die("<p>Server error! Please contact the admin.</p>");
		}							
		
		//add_to_log('...sent successfully.');
	} 
}

Note the add_to_log statements have been commented out.

Code:

Array
(
    [isvalid] => 1
    [address] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    [ismine] => 
)

exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to connect to http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyy@127.0.0.1:8332/' in /web/sites/me/_shared/jsonRPCClient.php:140 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: jsonRPCClient->__call('sendfrom', Array) #1 /web/sites/me/mydomain.com/public_html/_run_test9.php(109): jsonRPCClient->sendfrom('My Site', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', '0.46') #2 {main}

Server error! Please contact the admin.

NFI.

I might need to order a new monitor soon coz I'm about to punch this one after 3 hours.

My experience with the jsonRPCClient was that it was as buggy as hell. I would look into that (not your code).

[Alex Beckenham]

Well, I just tested that... exactly the same server, same daemon, same wallet, different domain name and it was able to send 100% fine.

Code:

	define('INC','../inc/');
	require_once(INC.'jsonRPCClient.php');
 
	$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://xxxxxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyy@127.0.0.1:8332/');


	$bitcoin->sendfrom('My Site','xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',1);

 
	echo "<pre>\n";
	print_r($bitcoin->getinfo());

	$listaccounts=$bitcoin->listaccounts();
	print_r($listaccounts);

(Username and password are exactly the same in both scripts).

I'll try putting this stupido script onto this other domain...

[Alex Beckenham]

Wow, problem solved after only 4 hours.

Code:

$bitcoin->sendfrom('My Site','xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',0.04);  //works with literals
$bitcoin->sendfrom(SITE_NAME,'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',0.04); //works with constant and 2 literals
$bitcoin->sendfrom(SITE_NAME,$ref_details['pay_out_address'],0.04); //works with constant, var and 1 literal
$bitcoin->sendfrom(SITE_NAME,$ref_details['pay_out_address'],$sendamt); //COMPLETELY FUBAR TOOK 4 HOURS OF MY LIFE AWAY SON OF A BITCH I HATE PROGRAMMING
$bitcoin->sendfrom(SITE_NAME,$ref_details['pay_out_address'],(float)$sendamt); //works with constant and 2 vars if 3rd is type cast

I really do love programming though, honestly.
