Webtools on PHP Built in Server Gives 404 error

[n0nag0n]

Hey,

I can't seem to get webtools working for me. I'm using Phalcon 3.1.2, Devtools 3.1.2, on macOS Sierra using PHP 7.1.4.

I'm trying to get it working using PHP's built in webserver and I think it's working, but something inside webtools itself isn't working....

So I used this to see if I could get it working... https://docs.phalconphp.com/en/3.0.1/reference/built-in.html

And I get this

You can see that the css is being loaded, and the 404 page is served through phalcon, not PHP's built in error. I haven't touched the webtools.config.php file or anything. I just created a project with phalcon project new-project --enable-webtools and the project created just fine. Going to localhost/ serves the file just fine, but going to localhost/webtools.php makes it show that 404 error.

I also tried making .htrouter.php look like this blogpost, but no dice either.

Thoughts, impressions, or feelings? ;)

I'll try to sort out as soon as possible

@n0nag0n You have to configure PTOOLS_IP constant. See public/webtools.config.php.

[n0nag0n]

No luck with changing the IP to anything else. localhost, 127.0.0.1, 127, my home public IP, nothing makes it want to work. I did a var_dump($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) and it printed out string '::1', IPv6 style. Maybe it's not configured to handle IPv6?

[sergeyklay]

You have to use 192.xxx.xxx.xxx, not 127.xxx.xxx.xxx

Addresses lying in range of 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 are Class A addresses and are reserved for Loopback functionality, data sent to Class A address only reach till Network layer, and is used for testing and experimentation.

Whereas 192 series (i.e 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255) represents Class C addresses, reserved for Local Area Network.

Read for more detail: Classful network

defined('PTOOLS_IP') || define('PTOOLS_IP', '192.168.'); // also 192. still gives me a 404 error. Here is the output from the php webserver

Here's the view from Chrome devtools.

Did you check your real IP? (for example by using ifconfig/ipconfig)

[n0nag0n]

So my IP is actually 10.1.10.*, but I tried that and it didn't work, I even tried 10. with no luck either. :(

[sergeyklay]

Could you please paste full output of ifconfig/ipconfig

[n0nag0n]

Interestingly enough, I just upgraded to devtools 3.2.13 on 3.3.2 of Phalcon and I still get this error. I tried diving into the webtools code to find out where PTOOLS_IP is used, and I get nowhere. I output $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and I get "::1" my local ip on my network at home is 10.1.10.*. I've tried all sorts of combinations of things to get it to work, partial ip addresses, blank, null, empty, commenting it out, localhost, whatever, and I can't even disable the chunk of code in the devtools codebase to not look for PTOOLS_IP and bypass it, cause it just disappears into the $this-configurable property and is used elsewhere under cloak and dagger XD.....oh well. I guess it's command line for me despite the web interface looking awesome :'(

@n0nag0n Do you still use macOS? Did you tried something like https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=6526

[n0nag0n]

Yeah, I've tried my real IP, the subnet, the gateway, the local ip (all with many variants), localhost, 127.0.0.1 even though I know it won't work. I just don't know where the code is that's making the IP comparison so I can figure out what it's trying to find on my local dev environment.

[sergeyklay]

@n0nag0n It is here https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools/blob/master/scripts/Phalcon/Access/Policy/Ip.php#L62

Could you try to debug this function to determine the actual IP?
