iControl / PHP / XAMPP error

Hi everyone!     I've trying to get iControl working with PHP, and I'm quite new to both! :-)     I've taken the below code from this link:   http://devcentral.f5.com/Defau...

Hi Risky,

 

 

One of the reasons you would get "failed to load external entity " error is if PHP SOAP client cannot connect to the server or cannot find iControlPortal.cgi at the specified URL..

 

 

What do you get when you browse to: https://192.168.10.203/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi?

 

 

You should get a list of iControl APIs entitled "Available iControl Service Descriptions"..

 

 

Do you have a personal firewall on your PC blocking outgoing connections from unrecognised exe-files? In case of XAMPP you will see httpd.exe (Apache component of XAMPP) trying to establish connection from your PC to port 443 on your BIG-IP box (192.168.10.203)
