curl is not logging into cpanel

[ballhogjoni]

I have this wonderful php class that used to let me login into cpanel and call any path I wanted. Now its broken:

<?php
class cPanel {
  var $cPanelUser   = "";
  var $cPanelPass   = "";
  var $cPanelDomain = "";
  var $cPanelPort   = 0;
  var $cPanelRel    = "";
  var $cPanelRoot   = "";

  function cPanel($cPanelDomain, $cPanelPort, $authUser, $authPass) {
    $this->cPanelDomain = $cPanelDomain;
    $this->cPanelPort = $cPanelPort;
    $this->cPanelUser = $authUser;
    $this->cPanelPass = $authPass;
    //Root path of cPanel to load pages begining with /

    $this->cPanelRoot = "http".($this->cPanelPort==2083 ? "s" : "")."://".$this->cPanelDomain.":".$this->cPanelPort."/frontend/x3/";
    //Relative path of cPanel to load pages not begining with /
    $this->cPanelRel = $this->cPanelRoot."";
  }
  function fetchPage($cPanelPage, $sPostVars = "") {
    $curl = curl_init();
    $loginf = sprintf("%s:%s", $this->cPanelUser, $this->cPanelPass);

    //Build the path. If it begins with / we go and paste at root
    if ($cPanelPage[0] == '/') {
      $url = $this->cPanelRoot.substr($cPanelPage, 1);
    }
    else {
      //Build the path - if begins with / we go and paste relative
      $url = $this->cPanelRel.$cPanelPage;
    }

    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url."?".$sPostVars);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, sprintf("Mozilla/%d.0",rand(4,5)));
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 0);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
    curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $loginf);
    $html = curl_exec ($curl);
    echo 'Errors: ' . curl_errno($curl) . ' ' . curl_error($curl) . '<br><br>';
    echo $html;
    curl_close ($curl);

    //print_r($url);
    return $html;
  }

}

 

I am using this script on one server and calling trying to login on another server and run a fastastico script. This is the error output: Errors: 7 couldn't connect to host

 

I've checked the username and password multiple times.

 

Any ideas why this wouldn't work?

The provider may have changed the server setup to not allow remote connections to cpanel, or are blocking your server from connecting, or with one client I have, with their server provider, if my ip adresss has changed, I have to email them to add the IP to the firewall otherwise I can't connect to WHM.

 

Or maybe they changed cpanel so you need to login differently. For example, they don't have the /frontend/x3/ template anymore.

 

Or there may be an issue with a router in between and you are being rerouted and it taking longer than 30 secs to connect.

 

Do a traceroute between servers.

 

If the traceroute looks good, then connect via ssh to your server then try connecting to the other server and see if you can login on that port.
