SOAPHTTPConnection Error

The fact that it says that the server is returning 'text/html' instead of 'text/xml' tells me that the SOAP request isn't getting to the iControl server code but is getting stopped at the management interface.

 

 

The first thing I would suggest is that you test the WSDL endpoint which it looks like you already have done.

 

 

Another question would be whether you rebooted the system after you changed the admin ip? I don't know how this would effect the functionality of the iControl portal, but it's worth a shot.

 

 

The only think left I can think of is that on 4.x, the core of our processing is performed in a CORBA server. If the SOAP endpoint cannot communicate with the CORBA server, then I could see a possible issue.

 

 

What I would suggest at this point is to take one of the perl samples out of the SDK (say sdk/support/soap/System/SystemInfo.pl), put it on your BIG-IP, and run it to test the iControl endpoint (using the new management address). If this fails as well, then we can narrow it down to functionality within the iControlPortal itself, and not the configuration of the administrative webserver.

 

 

Let me know if the perl sample works for you. If not, then we can do a few more debugging on the server to find out where things are failing.

 

 

If you try all this out and the perl sample doesn't work, then you will be better off contacting F5 Tech Support and get a case for this issue. DevCentral is meant primarily for developer support and there are limits to the level of product support we can offer. It is looking like this is a product specific configuration issue.
