ISPConfig Mail Import

Hey, I am trying to migrate my mail users from and old ispconfig server to a new one. I have created the remote user on the old server and checked the relevant boxes. I have added these details in the Import tool on the new server but I am getting the the following error

ERROR

1. 
   Could not connect to host

I have looked through the logs but there are no errors.
Can anyone advise on this issue?
Thanks in advance

 

There are some reasons why the API-Connect fails (wrong details, selfsigned ssl-cert, maintaince-mode). You can try the script below to see the error:

Code:

<?php
$conf['remote_uri'] = 'http://example.com:8080/remote/';
$conf['remote_user'] = 'remote';
$conf['remote_password'] = 'secret';
$remote = new SoapClient(null, array(  'location' => $conf['remote_uri'].'index.php',
'uri'  => $conf['remote_uri'],
'trace' => 1,
'exceptions' => 1));
try {
$session_id = $remote->login($conf['remote_user'], $conf['remote_password']);
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
$error .= print_r($e,true);
$error .= $remote->__getLastResponse();
}
if($error != '') {
echo $error;
}
?>

 

Hi Florian, thanks for getting back to me. I ran your script and I received the following output

Code:

  [previous:Exception:private] =>
  [faultstring] => Could not connect to host

)

It is telling me that the fault code is HTTP. I don have a self-signed certificate but I made changes to my php.ini based on this post
Is there anything else I can try?

 

Update
Disabling https on the remote server allowed me to access the mail import over http. After a lot of reading, the issue seems to lie in the self-signed certificate on ISPConfig. This seems to only occur in PHP 5.6 +.
I tried doing the following, but this had no effect

Code:

cp /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
update-ca-certificates

Then add the following to /etc/php5/*/php.ini under the openssl section

Code:

[openssl] 
openssl.cafile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Is there another solution to allow the connection using a self-signed certificate?
