Hi Guys,

I know this is not the Programming forums but this forums is related to the wowza and my question is totally related to the WOWZA.

I have check this JSON String

[https://www.wowza.com/forums/content…sh-publishing](https://www.wowza.com/forums/content...sh-publishing))

```auto
<?php
$username = 'test';
$password = 'test';
$data = array(
"restURI" => "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource",
"serverName" => "_defaultServer_",
        "sourceStreamName" => "myStream",
        "entryName" => "RTMP",
        "profile" => "rtmp",
        "host" => "rtmp",
        "application" => "myStream",
        "streamName"=> "test",
        "userName" => "",
        "password"=> "",
        "debugPackets"=>"true",
        "sendReleaseStream"=>"false",
        "sendStreamCloseCommands"=>"false",
        "debugLog"=>"true",
        "destinationName"=>"rtmp",
        ); 
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
$url = 'http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ':' . $password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec( $ch );
echo $result;
echo "data";

```

ERROR:

```auto

Hi

use php curl function

[PHP]private function sendCurlData($json, $apiURL) {

$ch = curl\_init ( $apiURL );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_CUSTOMREQUEST, “POST” );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_POSTFIELDS, $json );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_USERPWD, $this-\>\_User . “:” . $this-\>\_password );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH\_DIGEST );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER, true );

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_HTTPHEADER, array (

‘Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8’,

‘Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8’,

'Content-Length: ’ . strlen ( $json )

) );

$contents = curl\_exec ( $ch );

curl\_close ( $ch );

return $contents;

}[/PHP]

essential feature

curl\_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT\_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH\_DIGEST );

Hi,

Change your setopt from CURLOPT\_POST to CURLOPT\_PUT. As an example using curl,

```auto
curl -X PUT --header 'Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8' http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/actions/restart

```

Paul

$url = "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/{appName}/actions/restart";
$ch = curl_init($url);
                
                //curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
                curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
				curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "admin:admin");                                                            
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
				curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept:application/json', 'charset=utf-8'));
				$res = curl_exec($ch);
				echo $res;
				if($err = curl_error($ch)) echo 'Error: ' . $err;
                curl_close ($ch);				
?>

```
