PHP SoapClient - SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load external entity

[matheo]

Hi!
First, thanks for this great stuff!

I'm a symfony 2 dev and I found this package very nice and clean. I made it work following the documentation and implemented an internal client to verify that it's ok. But I got an issue and I hope you have some light according your experience.

My partners wanted to try the service with the native PHP SoapClient but it throws this exception:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL:
Couldn't load from 'http://192.168.0.38/app_dev.php/soap/Placita?wsdl' :
failed to load external entity "http://192.168.0.38/app_dev.php/soap/Placita?wsdl"

The wsdl is downloadable through browser but when the SoapClient is used:

$client = new SoapClient("http://192.168.0.38/app_dev.php/soap/Placita?wsdl");

It doesn't even reach the dev.log of symfony.

Could you help us to figure out the issue please?
Thanks :)

@matheo did you find an answer ? i m facing same issue

[corescan]

@matheo still nothing? I'm stuck on the exact same thing...

[matheo]

I'm not sure but I think it was a conflict with FOSRestBundle.

Checking my git log it seems that I solved it with this line in the format_listener rules:

{ path: ^/soap/, priorities: [ xml ], fallback_format: xml, prefer_extension: false }

Hello,

I am facing the same problem :

With this simple code :

Just like Matheo, the WSDL is also downloadable through browser.

And requests work perfectly with SoapUI !

Any help would be so much appreciated!

Are you using Nginx or Apache Web Server?

[gelanivishal]

I also get same issue. I'm using Nginx server.

[jcr1984]

In my case: PHP-FMP and Nginx in same server and Apache tomcat (with te web services/soap) working throw Nginx load balancer in another server (both servers with Centos 7)
Watching logs for nginx/php/tomcat I saw calls to the name of my upstream (ex. **http://myLoadBalancer.com/**xxxx) in the tomcat server. So, I added to /etc/hosts myLoadBalancer.com

I dont remember the next error related with that, but I remember excecute the next line

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

After that, I had more problems related with external resources. In my case, Just added the directories to SELinux

Hope it works bro

Make sure there are no spaces before and after the URL and
apt-get install apt-get install node-crypto-cacerts libxmlsec1-openssl on Ubuntu

[ajo-sam]

I also faced this same issue and i think that the url or link is blocked.Another reason may be some network issue.
