Error creating authentication token

basil

I was creating a note sharing platform form for our collage students.As part of it, I have installed flarum.Everything went well and I was able to access flarum by going to http://127.0.0.1:8080/forum/. But I'm unable to even do a curl request to api.I used this

(

code to authenticate.But it was giving internal server error 500.I found that the problem was in the beginning of code.ie $ch = curl_init($api_url);

If do a curl request or access through browser this url, http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/api/token
I'm getting this error
{"errors":[{"status":"405","code":"method_not_allowed"}]}

Somebody please help me so that I can finish my work.
Ask any logs if needed.

basil Welcome to Flarum !

I think you're supposed to do a POST request.

When typing the url in the browser you're doing a GET and it seems your curl script also does not specify a method, so I guess it defaults to something else as well (unless setting a post fields automatically switches to POST ?)

Not sure how a POST is done with curl though, I always use "higher-level" libraries like Guzzle which makes reading the code a lot easier ?

I hope this helps !

I tried giving post request as
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/test/api/token

and result was

{"errors":[{"status":"401","code":"permission_denied"}]}

any guess?

It was my mistake.I forgot to change localhost:8080 to localhost.I was using port forwarding under virtualbox.Working now.Thanks
