7.10 /api/v8/swagger.json results in No input file specified

SuiteCRM Forum - English Language Installation & Upgrade Help
1

I have a new 7.10 installed on a Plesk / CentOs server using Apache.

The SuiteCRM site itself seems to run without problems but I am having issues accessing the APIs as documented here:

http://docs.suitecrm.com/developer/api/api-8/

A GET on /api/v8/swagger.json returns ‘No input file selected’.

If I navigate using the full path URL:

https://[my domain]/lib/API/v8/swagger.json

The swagger file is displayed which makes me think there’s an issue with the .htaccess file that maps the /api entrypoint to the lib/API/public folder.

Looking at the .htaccess this line looks incorrect:

RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/SuiteCRM/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]

For it to work I think it should look like this:

RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]

However even with this change the same error is returned.

Any help appreciated

Hi, welcome.

Can you please check your web server logs for errors?

error_log
access_log
php_errors.log

Here are the log entries:

access_ssl_log:
[25/Feb/2018:10:52:02 +0000] “GET /api/v8/swagger.json HTTP/1.0” 404 1474 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36”

error_log:
[error] [client 90.255.220.109] File does not exist: /var/www/vhosts/[mydomain].com/subdomains/crm.[mydomain].com/SuiteCRM/lib/SuiteCRM

The install directory is this:

/var/www/vhosts/[mydomain].com/subdomains/crm.[mydomain].com/SuiteCRM

from there the relevant directory structure is:

lib/API/v8

However the .htaccess file is assuming a directory structure of lib/SuiteCRM/API:


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=app_strings&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(\w*)/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=$1&lang=$2 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/SuiteCRM/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

Grepping for API in the code the assumed structure also seems to be the same:


$container['ResourceServer'] = function () {
    $keys = new \SuiteCRM\API\OAuth2\Keys();
    $server =  new \League\OAuth2\Server\ResourceServer(
        new SuiteCRM\API\OAuth2\Repositories\AccessTokenRepository(),
        $keys->getPublicKey()
    );
    return new \[b]SuiteCRM[/b]\API\OAuth2\Middleware\ResourceServer($server);
};

I can navigate to the swagger file if I specify the absolute path:
https://crm.[mydomai].com/lib/API/v8/swagger.json
Note the upper case API

Is the .htaccess incorrect or is the directory incorrect (as in it should be lib/SuiteCRM)?

Any help appreciated - I’m new to SuiteCRM and I’ve spun on this for a while now.
Thanks
Matt

I just found this bug that’s has somethinng to do with prepending vs appending htaccess file changes during the upgrade

https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/pull/5225

Maybe that will help you figure out a solution…

5

I ran a fresh install of the last 7.10 zip rather than an upgrade.

I’ll keep on digging…

6

Hopefully on Monday one of the developers involved in that issue will take a look at this thread and help you out.

If I modify the .htaccess file so that this line is included:

ReWriteRule ^api/(.*)$ lib/API/$1 [L]

I can then successfully see the swagger document when I navigate to:

https://[mydomain]/api/v8/swagger.json

The problem looks like it is related to the .htaccess file as far as I can tell.

8

Have you tried Admin / Repair / Rebuild htaccess file?

Or better: apply the fix in that PR I linked above, and then do that Repair.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I downloaded and installed the latest zip which looks like it included the modification in the fix.

Running the htaccess rebuild fixed the path problem in that

RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]

is no longer

/lib/SuiteCRM/API

but accessing the swagger file still results in the same No input file specified result.

Adding:

ReWriteRule ^api/(.*)$ lib/API/$1 [L]

to .htaccess results in the swagger file rendering which I think suggests the issue is .htaccess related.

I guess there needs to be a change to the formal rewrite rules:

RewriteRule ^api/(.?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^api/(.)$ - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

Not sure what that should be though.

Hi Matt,

Please add this to the top of your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase path-to-instance
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=app_strings&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(\w*)/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=$1&lang=$2 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&module=app_strings&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(\w*)/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&module=$1&lang=$2 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

Please change the base url accordinly, eg / if suitecrm is configured at the base of the file structure. You can use the rebuild .htaccess tool in suitecrm if you are not sure.

Please check that you have configured apache2 so that modrewrite is enabled, and that you allow your www directory to override the configuration.

Example - 000-default.config

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

Can you try to authenticate with the oauth 2 server? what is the response you are getting?

Thanks for the help - unfortunately I still get the same issue:

My .htaccess looks like this:


# BEGIN SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS
RedirectMatch 403 .*\.log$
RedirectMatch 403 /+not_imported_.*\.txt
RedirectMatch 403 /+(soap|cache|xtemplate|data|examples|include|log4php|metadata|modules)/+.*\.(php|tpl)
RedirectMatch 403 /+emailmandelivery\.php
RedirectMatch 403 /+upload
RedirectMatch 403 /+cache/+diagnostic
RedirectMatch 403 /+files\.md5$


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=app_strings&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(\w*)/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&modulename=$1&lang=$2 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&module=app_strings&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^cache/jsLanguage/(\w*)/(.._..).js$ index.php?entryPoint=jslang&module=$1&lang=$2 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>


# END SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS

If I modify the rewrite rule by adding a ?


RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php[b]?[/b]/$1 [L]

I get this, which suggests that the mod rewrite is active:


{"error":"access_denied","message":"The resource owner or authorization server denied the request.","hint":"Missing \"Authorization\" header"}

I’m new to Suite CRM - how do I authenticate with the OAuth server? Is there a tutorial anywhere?

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

It should be:


RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ lib/API/public/index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

If you have added my suggested fix and are getting any kind of a response from the OAuth2 server (including access_denied), the it means that you have correctly set up the .htaccess file and mod rewrite.

If you can’t still access the swagger file, then It sound’s like this is an issue with the swagger.json route itself, instead of the .htaccess.

The documentation for how to authenticate and work with the API is here:

https://docs.suitecrm.com/developer/api/api-8/

Please note: You need to set up a client first before you authenticate with the API. See the documentation link for details.

Same version (7.10.10) same problem. Seems that lib/API/public folder is missing!!!

16

I’m in the same boat. I’m working on implementing the V8 api and don’t appear to have the lib/API/public folder. Just to confirm that it wasn’t just my install, I downloaded version 7.10.10 from the suite crm website and it’s missing the public folder as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the contents of my htaccess file
