Describe the Scenario

Hi,

I encounter a problem when I use export-books.php : PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/api/books?count=100&offset=0): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/userbookstack/export-books.php on line 72 PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of apiGetJson() must be of the type array, null returned in /home/userbookstack/export-books.php:81 Stack trace: #0 /home/userbookstack/export-books.php(48): apiGetJson('api/books?count...') #1 /home/userbookstack/export-books.php(20): getAllBooks() #2 {main} thrown in /home/userbookstack/export-books.php on line 81

First I have to explain my configuration, my bookstack is configured with SSL : https://bookstack.intra.local This is the apache conf : <VirtualHost *:443> 'ServerName bookstack.intra.local ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/bookstack/public/ SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/bookstack.intra.local cer SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/bookstack.intra.local.key

My API Jeton is ok and this is the export-books.php file : $apiUrl = getenv('BS_URL') ?: 'http://localhost'; // http://bookstack.local/ $clientId = getenv('BS_TOKEN_ID') ?: 'ThisIsMySecret';' $clientSecret = getenv('BS_TOKEN_SECRET') ?: 'ThisIsMySecret';

Hi Dan,

I finally found the php.ini few minutes before you wrote you message, and it works.

Thank you for taking time with me 😃 Have a nice day.

@Buliwif The .ini to edit can depend on the operating system, PHP version in use and how you’re actually running PHP. If you’re running from the command line, those changes probably won’t make a difference. Additionally, you’re editing files for php7.2, whereas BookStack requires php7.3 or greater. (Assuming you’re running the script on the same system as BookStack. If not, ignore this).

If you’re running the scripts via command line, you can often find the right php.ini file by running:

php -i | grep php.ini

In regards to the option of editing the script:

For this function: https://github.com/BookStackApp/api-scripts/blob/f165f615fae3b415cbf47a96661c4d43043e6a11/php-export-all-books/export-books.php#L64-L73

Disabling SSL verification would look like this instead:

/**
 * Make a simple GET HTTP request to the API. (Ignoring HTTPS validation)
 */
function apiGet(string $endpoint): string {
    global $apiUrl, $clientId, $clientSecret;
    $url = rtrim($apiUrl, '/') . '/' . ltrim($endpoint, '/');
    $opts = [
        'http' => ['header' => "Authorization: Token {$clientId}:{$clientSecret}"],
        'ssl'  => [        
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
    ];
    $context = stream_context_create($opts);
    return file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
}
