I'm relatively new to programming and am having trouble with using OAuth with my app hosted on Amazon Beanstalk.
What I wish my app to do is to connect to the Constant Contact API, using the base code shown here
https://github.com/shannon7wallace/OAuth-2-PHP-Example
If I execute this code locally, everything works fine. I am able to login with my constant contact credentials and pull data. I was sure to setup my redirect uri in my constant contact developer key correctly, and everything works perfectly locally.
When I deployed it to AWS however, I would get a blank page when trying to navigate to index.php. I double checked my container settings and the zip package I uploaded to ensure I was pointing to the correct directories, and made sure my AWS healthcheck pointed to a publicly accessible URL (AWS shows app as being healthy), but the page is blank.
If I replace my index.php with simply HTML or even phpinfo(), it works. I suspect it gets hung up at the authentication check but even if I hard code my account credentials in and remove the login logic, I still get a blank page. Even the html outside my php script tags does not display, regardless if I include things like or other head tags.
Googling for OAuth + Beanstalk produces very little, and the constantcontact API documentation, at least to my inexperienced eyes, is pretty sparse, but the closest thing I could find addressing my problem is this
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=277339񃭛
The scenario in the above thread seems to address a problem much more specific than mine, and I am unsure on how to apply the solution to my particular case.
Is there something obvious I am missing? I can't believe AWS would be unsuited for apps using OAuth considering the vast array of projects that are hosted on it.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
The Beanstalk container options for PHP have an option to control whether errors should be displayed; switching it to "On" should write a fatal error on your page.
As it turns out, even after changing the setting, the pages would still be blank. I'm not sure if the feature is broken, but it definitely guards you from accidentally leaving it on :)
You'd have to log into your instance (assuming your site isn't loaded yet and it's really just one) and edit your code to insert the customary debug statements as high up as possible:
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
Barring any parse errors in your page, it will show the offending error.

As you can probably tell, I am new to Magento2 and I am trying to figure out some of the basics. I'm a full-stack developer that is use to developing (frontend and backend) myself then using docker and finally hosting it on an AWS:S3/EC2 or AWS: Elastic Beanstalk. With that said, Magento seems like a completely different beast to conquer.
I have a family member who is wanting me to do some basic frontend stuff for their website (such as changing Navbar design and a potential home page overhaul later on), naturally wanting to help them out I agreed to have a look and see what I can do. I have access to their Magento 2 dashboard area and have been looking around with no sure luck thus far. I have researched online that Magento 2 allows for a "Page Builder" or a "WYSIWYG" type functionality. But I am unable to use these types of tools because my family member had the website built by a Magento 2 developer firm awhile back and everything is coded manually and could cause problems if using one of the above mentioned tools. Due to this I am trying to get access to their site directory so that I can go in and make the necessary changes and upload the files. But I am really struggling on how to access the codebase.
I have read that an admin needs to send me the code??? Or grant me access to the code or something along those lines? I do have the host, port, root, username, password, etc. for the live server but still having trouble.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to use ssh to access the server
ssh user#host -p port
After you get into the server, you should set up a git repository in the project root and push the code from the server to the repository, then clone the repo to your local environment.
From there on, it's the normal development flow. You can use a clean database with sample data or you can dump the db from the live env and use it on your local env, but this will require some changes in the db after the import.
Detailing all the steps required to do this task would take forever and would cover a lot of different issues/steps.
"I have read that an admin needs to send me the code???"
Not sure what you mean by this, but a Magento admin is just a user on the backend side of the website. He does not have access to any code.
A git repository admin(probably previous dev) could grant you access to the code repository, but this doesn't seem like an option.
I'm trying to use a HTML/PHP form on my website. The problem is submit just opens a new page displaying my php as text, this is when I open the html file on my computer using Google Chrome. When I uploaded to my hosting service, TK dot com, I get a 405 error when using the form. I've tested on working/downloadable php forms and the same thing happens.
From my understanding, I can't just use php on my site without setting up an environment. I've read I need to use some sort of program to do this (apache). Which kind of confuses me further, how would I enable this type of service, which installs to my computer, to run on my website when my computer is off?
Any tips or guides on how to do use apache for PHP forms on my website or similar that I can be redirected to would be really helpful. Please let me know if any extra information is needed.
I am using the magemonkey extension from Ebizmart and when i save my config in the admin i get the following error:
Could not add Webhook "http://example.com/monkey/webhook/index/wkey//" for list "Test Mailing List", error code 508, We couldn't connect to the specified the URL. Please double check and try again.
I did some digging and arrived at the conclusion (duh) that mailchimp cannot see my local environment so it's unable to add the webhook. Is it possible for me to configure this locally for testing purposes or do I have to wait until the site is live (sounds pretty strange to me)?
UPDATE: I reached out to Mailchimp and got the following response. Seems like they won't add a host entry to recognize my test environment. The only way to accomplish this would be to use a handshake key.
Thanks for reaching out to MailChimp support. I can certainly understand the concern here and will be happy to help.
Unfortunately, any webhooks being used must be publically available and there would not be a way to add a host entry in MailChimp so that the URL can be used.
If your testing environement allows for HandShake keys, one options might be to add that on to the url: (can't add more than 2 links)
At MailChimp we definitely appreciate testing and encourage it with our users and I will be sure to pass this feedback along to our developers so that testing in closed environments might be a bit easier. I also wanted to provide a link to our feedback form in case you wanted to leave some feedback for our developers directly: (can't add more than 2 links)
If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach back out and we will be happy to help.
Thank you,
Mikey
Use https://ngrok.com/, available for all platforms.
It allows you to tunnel requests to your local dev machine. It's very easy to use, just download and run:
ngrok http 80
Then it'll show you the forwarding URL (where xxx is randomly generated):
Forwarding https://xxxxxxxx.ngrok.io -> localhost:80
Use https://xxxxxxxx.ngrok.io as the begining of your webhook callback URL.
Once it's running, a web interface is available at http://127.0.0.1:4040 that shows metrics and let's you replay requests.
I have set up a simple Wordpress site with an order form but I'm struggling to get the site to recognise Sage Pay.
I've been following the initial instructions in the PHP integration kit - http://www.sagepay.co.uk/support/find-an-integration-document/direct-integration-documents:
Create a database and add the necessary tables.
Edit the /lib/config.php and the /demo/config.php to include my Sagepay Account and database details
In the test server for Sage Pay I also added the IP address of my site as an exception.
Every time I run the https://mywebsite.com/demo it returns the error:
Ooops!!!
An unexpected error seems to have occurred.
Try to refresh the page or you can contact us if the problem persist.
This is pretty early on in the but I seem to be doing something wrong. Is there something else that needs edited as the instructions are frustratingly vague.
Would I be better just using a Sagepay Direct plug in with Wordpress e-commerce solutions?
Thanks.
I am also a currently frustrated Sagepay learner. To asnswer you question, I had this problem too. My problem was that i had the database details incorrect. I had my local host details on my test environment, and i had not changed the details correctly in demo/config.php before ftp the file to my webserver. Once i did this, i got over the oops screen. The next problem was that i got a blank screen when running index.php from demo. I was told by sagepay that apache needs restarting as a service everytime somethingortheother happens. So on my local environment i restarted all services in wamp and it worked. I can now see the demo (not that i know what to do now as there are no instructions and the php is hidden in a complex class structure with the html content in some tpl files which i have never seen before - of course there are no instructions in the integration kit at all). Anyway back to the answer. So locally i can run the demo, but i still have white screen on my webserver, becuase i can't restart the apache service there, so that is the next problem. I will keep trying and add anything useful later.
I also had this problem, I had not given the database user account the necessary permissions to access the database.
I have a site with a basic members auth system built into it, I wanted to allow the logins for this site to also work on a vanilla forum using the jsconnect plugin. The forum is built within a folder of the site.
I've been through the documentation for the jsconnect plugin for vanilla forum.
However I can't quite grasp the process of actually setting it up, This is where I'm at right now;
I've downloaded and installed the jsconnect plugin within vanilla forum, I can access it within settings. However when i try to add a connection, once I hit submit I get a blank error screen:
Something has gone wrong.
We've run into a problem and are unable to handle this request right now.
Please check back in a little while.
I'm assuming this has something to do with me needing to have set up an Authenticate Url that goes somewhere, however what is it supposed to point to?
I read that I need to have a jsonp file however when i look at the jsconnect repo https://github.com/vanilla/jsConnectPHP Theres an index.php file that seems to handle the authentication, is that right?
Essentially I'm looking for some guidence on how I should proceed,
Any help would be sure appreciated!
you need to download the index.php file, then change the path for functions.jsconnect.php to /plugins/jsconnect/functions.jsconnect.php.
then add a connection and test url.
