terminating a demo account using api

[mikejs]

Hi I have just moved from another billing system over to WHMCMS and I am very pleased so far.

 

I have created a demo account in cpanel I have created a hidden package via WHMCMS I have then created a demo customer and registered the packagage I have two scripts I want to run one will delete the demo account the other with re-create it this is the delete script

 

<?php
$url = "http://www.***************/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file
$whmcs_admin = "*******"; # Admin username goes here
$whmcs_pw = "*******";
$demo_account_id = "1";
$postfields["username"] = $whmcs_admin;
$postfields["password"] = md5($whmcs_pw);
$postfields["action"] = "serverterminate";
$postfields["accountid"] = "1";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = explode(";",$data);
foreach ($data AS $temp) {
$temp = explode("=",$temp);
$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}
if ($results["result"]=="success") {
print "Demo account terminated";
} else {
# An error occured
$error_msg = $results["message"];

 

when I run this file I get Authentication Failed error

 

I have added my servers ip to the allowed ip list any idea why this is not working?

 

thanks

Did you enabled API access to the admin account you're using in the script?

[mikejs]

Thanks for the reply I found another post that explained how to create an api admin account. now when I run the script I get

 

Command Not Found error

[RenatoMN]

According to http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Module_Terminate the action should be:

 

$postfields["action"] = "moduleterminate";

[mikejs]

thanks for the reply I changed the code and now I get An unknown error occured so I guess its a no go.

Did you check if the accountid = 1 is actually there on the server?!
