Prestashop webservice 404 Not Found

[wallink]

Hello.

I have set up my prestashop 1.4 installation and everything works fine.

I know want to use the webservice feature, but I can't get it to work.

I have fixed all warnings and generated a key as well as enabled the different resources I want.

If my shop is located at http://myurl/prestashop and that works as it should and I then goes to:

http://myurl/prestashop/api

Then I only get 404 Not Found!

What do I need to do?

Try accessing http://myurl/prestashop/0/webservice/dispatcher.php.
If that'll work then you have a problem with URL rewriting. Firstly check if you have a .htaccess file in your PrestaShop root directory, if not generate it in the Back Office.

If I go to http://myurl/prestashop/0/webservice/dispatcher.php I get 404 Not Found but when I go to http://myurl/prestashop/webservice/dispatcher.php, firefox asks me for username and password.

When I try my admin login I just get the following response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<![CDATA[internal error]]>



1. What username and password?
2. is it still url rewrites that doesn't work?

thx

Sorry I meant http://myurl/prestashop/webservice/dispatcher.php, without 0, just forgot to remove it.
Username is the key you've generated in the BackOffice and password is empty.
Yes that still means you have a problem with URL rewriting.

[wallink]

ok, thanks.

When I use that url I get a valid answer, but I can't us it to get any other resources.

I have a .htaccess file, is there anything else that is needed for rewrites to work correctly?

I have installed mod_rewrite:
@a2enmod rewrite@
@/etc/init.d/apache2 restart@

But error.log does returns an error:
@ File does not exist: /var/www/api@

Any ideas why?

Hello,
When you active the webService (in the backoffice) an username is automaticaly generated. So, the username asked when you go on http://myurl/prestashop/webservice/dispatcher.php the username is the generated username. There are not password.

if the urlRewriting is activated, the API adress is : http://myurl/prestashop/api

best regards,

I have installed mod_rewrite:

@a2enmod rewrite@

@/etc/init.d/apache2 restart@

 

But error.log does returns an error:

@ File does not exist: /var/www/api@

Make sure AllowOverride is enabled in the VirtualHost section for your website (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default on some systems). If it's set to None the .htaccess won't be able to enable rewrite:

		<Directory /var/www/>
			Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
			AllowOverride ALL
			Order allow,deny
			allow from all
	</Directory>

hello!!

 

I am using prestashop 1.6 and I am trying to use the web service. At first I had the same problem as you did (error 404). then I used the url that you suggested above, that one with the dispatcher and as a result I got an xml tree, but the xlinks are not working as links, I mean I can not click on them. When I copy-paste them, then I get again an error 404... I think there is something to do with the api, I am not quite sure :/  

 

 

 

Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated!!

thank you in advance

Dear,

 

You are right, I forgot this step

and do service apache2 restart|reload

 

Prestashop 1.6

Pls try the following

You need to pass the key like explained in our documentation as  http://yourshop.com/api/?ws_key=YOUR_KEY

Hi,

 

I spend 2 hours on this problem and I solved it by htaccess on the root directory.

 

I saw that line alone : 

RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

 

I just add this before :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoururl.com$

 

Now it works
