JSONRPC - not working with Bitcoin - others are 100% working

[AgoraLive]

I have a script which is working when I access the bitcoin-qt.exe from localhost. I have allowrpc= set to the external server but for some reason it is not working?

The same script is running with a few ALTCoins without any issues, so it is not an IP, script error (as far as I know)?

Any ideas? Oh the script is php, is that's and issue...

Hard to say without seeing the script...

[AgoraLive]

Well

 require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
 
  $bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://user:password@127.0.0.1:8332/');
 
  echo "<pre>\n";
  print_r($bitcoin->getinfo());
  echo "</pre>";


Now this runs perfect localhost, but dosen't work when I run from external server. YES I have rpcallowip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx set correct because other coins are working from external source.

Look at router and firewall settings.

You probably don't. Read your debug.log.

Why should this be an issue with bitcoin, when litecoin and doge is running perfect with same script? Other ports naturally, but script is identical

What should I be looking for?

Any line that contains "RPC". Unfortunately not all types of RPC errors show up in debug.log, though.

First of all try curl locally on the same machine you run bitcoin-qt to get more detailed error messages (some Linux distros and Mac OS contain curl already, otherwise download from http://curl.haxx.se/).

Code:

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"mycurltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' -u <yourRPCusername>:<yourRPCpassword> 127.0.0.1:8332

BTW, what does your bitcoin.conf look like?

[AgoraLive]

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=::/0
rpcport=8332
server=1


rpcallowip=::/0 - ONLY TO OPEN ALL FOR TESTING....


Even with specific IP it dosen't work (Again other coins does NOT have issues)

Are you sure this format is correct?  It does not look good to me:

rpcallowip=::/0

You could try something like:
rpcallowip=*

or (for better security), something like if you are testing it from your LAN:
192.168.0.0/24
(depending on the addresses).

Or you could just whitelist your IP.

What did curl show - as cassini suggested above?

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=::/0
rpcport=8332
server=1


rpcallowip=::/0 - ONLY TO OPEN ALL FOR TESTING....

according to the bitcoin changelog (v 0.10.0) then ip:* is no longer supported and should be ::/0

Accessing from localhost is not a problem

I have not tried CURL yet

[AgoraLive]

Might not understand curl but:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 1.0,
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: id
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: method
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: getinfo,
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: params
curl: (3) [globbing] bad range specification in column 2
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 1
{"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}
