I am having problems trying to get the Rackspace Opencloud API to work as expected (particularly the cloud files).

I have been following these guides:

https://github.com/rackspace/php-opencloud/blob/master/docs/userguide/ObjectStore/Access.md http://docs.rackspace.com/sdks/api/php/namespace-OpenCloud.ObjectStore.html

The Authentication seems to work fine because a token and the service catalog is returned.

header("Content-Type: text/plain");
require '/vendor/autoload.php';

use OpenCloud\Rackspace;

$client = new Rackspace('https://lon.identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/', array(
    'username' => 'MY_USERNAME',
    'apiKey'   => 'MY_APIKEY'
));

$client->authenticate();

echo 'Authenticated with token: '.$client->getToken()."\n\n";

print_r($client->getCatalog());

My problems start when i try to use a service from the API:

$service = $client->objectStoreService('cloudFiles');

This line kills the code. I have copied the Rackspace documentation line for line but still no luck, I am unable to get any of the services to work.

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong or provide any tips for the best way to troubleshoot this issue?

  • Hi Warren, would you mind posting a pastebin of the output of the catalog? Make sure to remove IDs and Tokens. – rdodev Jan 01 '14 at 19:11

Specify the region explicitly

You need to explicitly choose the region you want to use. From your identity line, it looks like you'll need to set it to LON.

$service = $client->objectStoreService('cloudFiles', 'LON'); # Or IAD, HKG, SYD, etc.

Side note: I just submitted a pull request on php-opencloud to make this more clear in the documentation.
