Lets consider 'mywebsite' as my website uname as username and pwd as password.
Now the scenario is i have a system that was previously working but now when i am trying to connect to my magento from odoo it returns me an error
<ProtocolError for mywebsite/index.php/api/xmlrpc/: 301 Moved Permanently>
however this particular url ie https://mywebsite.com is accesible if you hit it on browser and also returns a true result when hit with Postman
i tried to hit the same url using a python script
import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('https://mywebsite.com')
session = server.login('uname','pwd')
Multiple times over multiple environments when i execute this script from the same environment that my server is hosted upon i get the same error
Error 301 Moved Permenantly
Now when i hit the same above script from my local enviroment i get
SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
which i assumed arises due to using https so when i change the url with http i get same error back which is
xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for mywebsite.com/: 301 Moved Permanently>
Hitting the above scripts from a staging environment gets me the same result as my local enviroment
also when i change the above script and run it using ip of the website along with port i get
socket.error: [Errno 110] Connection timed out
then i tried changing the script and running it with this code
import urllib
print urllib.urlopen("http://mywebsite.com/").getcode()
when i run this code from my local machine i get
Error 403 Forbidden Request
Hitting this new code with ip of website with port gets me
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 110] Connection timed out
When i hit this code without mentioning the port i get
SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
now hitting these code from live environment using mywebsite.com gets me
Error 403
using ip without the port
[SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:590)
with the ip and port
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 110] Connection timed out
Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated if there are any silly mistakes please excuse them as i am a amateur in odoo/python
also if you have any other way to check if a url is hit-able please do let me know
Well it seems that when i entered the mywebsite url in odoo it was being appended in the backend by /index.php/api/xmlrpc which was working fine for some time
but now due to some changes it doesnt accept index.php anymore as it is automatically routed(mayb)
anyways i solved the error by changing the appending string to /api/xmlrpc
