Question

Is my first attempt on this and I am facing the error

Expected status code in (200-299), got 404

I am following this tutorial > link

and I have create the class below:

TalkToNetwork.h

#import "AFHTTPClient.h"
#import "AFNetworking.h"

typedef void (^JSONResponseBlock)(NSDictionary* json);

@interface TalkToNetwork : AFHTTPClient

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary* user;

-(BOOL)isAuthorized;

-(void)commandWithParams:(NSMutableDictionary*)params onCompletion:(JSONResponseBlock)completionBlock;

+(TalkToNetwork*)sharedInst;

@end

TalkToNetwork.m

    #import "TalkToNetwork.h"

//the web location of the service
#define kAPIHost @"http://localhost/"
#define kAPIPath @"Test/"

@implementation TalkToNetwork

@synthesize user;

+(TalkToNetwork*)sharedInst{

    static TalkToNetwork *sharedInstance = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t oncePredicate;
    dispatch_once(&oncePredicate, ^{
        sharedInstance = [[self alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:kAPIHost]];

    });

    return sharedInstance;
}

-(BOOL)isAuthorized{

    return [[user objectForKey:@"IdUser"] intValue] > 0;
}

-(void)commandWithParams:(NSMutableDictionary*)params onCompletion:(JSONResponseBlock)completionBlock{

    NSMutableURLRequest *apiRequest =
    [self multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST"
                                    path:kAPIPath
                              parameters:params
               constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
               }];

    AFJSONRequestOperation* operation = [[AFJSONRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest: apiRequest];
    [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        //success!
        printf("success");
        completionBlock(responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        //failure :(
        printf("failure");
        completionBlock([NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[error localizedDescription] forKey:@"error"]);
    }];

    [operation start];
}


-(TalkToNetwork*)init{

    self = [super init];

    if (self != nil) {
        user = nil;

        [self registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFJSONRequestOperation class]];

        [self setDefaultHeader:@"Accept" value:@"application/json"];
    }

    return self;
}

@end

I have downloaded and installed XAMPP as tutorial advice, running all three Controls (Apache, MySQL, FTP) and I have used phpmyadmin in order to create the database and a table (“login”) manually.

I am following each step from the tutorial and still getting the error above. In addition, I’m passing manually the link to the browser “http://localhost/Test/” and getting Error 404.
What I am missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You’re passing in a URL that is not valid. Check in your browser the URL ..

1. Check if Apache is running at http//localhost/ or http://172.0.0.1/ or.. http://localhost:8080/
2. Check if PHP is working well http://localhost/test/index.php
3. …

UPD

from tutorial:

“The extracted ZIP should contain a few PHP files and a folder named
“upload. The main API file is index.php”

… then.. “

copy the files in Finder to your web folder”

…

” you will have to change the domain and path if you have any setup
other than calling the API from your local machine”

Perhaps.. you must try http://localhost/xampp/test/

UPD2

Error 403 Access Forbidden:

1
a) In Finder select test folder
b) Choose ‘Show info’
c) Under “Ownership & Permissions” check to have you read\write permission

2
check\modify your httpd.conf from “Deny from all” to “Order allow” and “Allow from all” – like here
