I enabled the JSON-RPC interface in the settings.
However if I browse to the url that it suggests I get an blank page.
https://myservername/limesurvey2/index.php/admin/remotecontrol

I also tried to use the PHP example from the manual

<?php
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
define( 'LS_BASEURL', 'https://myservername/limesurvey2'); // adjust this one to your actual LimeSurvey URL
define( 'LS_USER', 'rpcuser' );
define( 'LS_PASSWORD', 'mypassword' );
// the survey to process
$survey_id=316154;
// instanciate a new client
$myJSONRPCClient = new jsonRPCClient( LS_BASEURL.'/admin/remotecontrol' );
// receive session key
$sessionKey= $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key( LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD );
// receive all ids and info of groups belonging to a given survey
$groups = $myJSONRPCClient->list_groups( $sessionKey, $survey_id );
print_r($groups, null );
// release the session key
$myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key( $sessionKey );
?>


Then I get the following error

Warning: fopen(https://myservername/limesurvey2/admin/remotecontrol) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /var/www/jsonrpcphp/includes/jsonRPCClient.php on line 132

What im I doing wrong?

Hi, I get the same error. Did you manage to solve this?

1. LimeSurvey version
2. Set API to published, and test the link
3. Unsure your server (with the RC script) can connect to LimeSurvey server. For example here, show there are surely a fopen disable with the limesurvey website.

Hi,

1. LimeSurvey version I am using is 2.63.1 (from version.php file)
2. It works fine in my local machine when the "Publish API" is off. Tried setting it ON and tested the link, I still get the same error.
3. Regarding error, I don't get fopen warning posted in this post. I only get "Unable to connect" error.

Full error description:

Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks

Do a little PHP file with just a curl to the index. It's surely broke too .
In my opinion, it's not related to LimeSurvey.

PLEASE : DO NOT CROSSPOST !
