Can't Connect To API

I'm trying to use the API to manipulate DNS zones. I uploaded the examples folder to on of my sites on the server and edited soap_config.php with my username/password/ip:

Code:

<?php

$username = 'user';
$password = 'password';

/*
$soap_location = 'http://localhost:8080/ispconfig3_3.0.5/interface/web/remote/index.php';
$soap_uri = 'http://localhost:8080/ispconfig3_3.0.5/interface/web/remote/';
*/


$soap_location = 'http://45.79.179.1:8080/remote/index.php';
$soap_uri = 'http://45.79.179.1:8080/remote/';


?>

I have added the remote user in ISPConfig and given it the permissions I need. I'm getting: SOAP Error: Could not connect to host

I also tried changing it to https://

 

I fixed it by changing my SOAP connection code to:

PHP:

$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => $soap_location,
        'uri'      => $soap_uri,
        'trace' => 1,
        'stream_context'=> stream_context_create(array('ssl'=> array('verify_peer'=>false,'verify_peer_name'=>false))),
        'exceptions' => 1));
