Cannot GET /xmlrpc.php after installation #3

Closed cayco closed 9 years ago

I followed instructions on how to install and tried to connect with IFTTT however it said it cannot activate my channel (port is open and I can access it manually). Opening 1337 in browser results:

Cannot GET /xmlrpc.php

as a response. There is nothing interesting on the console either:

    pi@raspberrypi ~/ifttn/sebauer-if-this-then-node-c4d2d44 $ sudo node server | ./node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan

Hi @cayco,

that's correct. There's no "default action" implemented when calling the xmlrpc.php without any parameters. But I will take this as a suggestion for easier testing.

But as long as the "cannot get"-message appears, the server is running fine. So to me it looks like the port isn't really accessible from the outside, there has to be a port-forwarding configured in your router, which routes external port 80 to port 1337 of the system where NodeJS is running on, as IFTTT always tries to access port 80.

If you have all that set up, you should be able to use your mobile phone (without being connected to your Wifi) to access if-this-then-node using http://your-external-ip-or-hostname/xmlrpc.php and you should get the "cannot get" message. If that's the case, everything is set up correctly and IFTTT should be working as well
