transport error - could not open socket

[eduardobmoreira]

I have a wordpress at localhost then i'm trying to connect with xml-rpc..
It gives the message: "transport error - could not open socket" at line 262 of /WordpressSource/Model/Datasource/WordpressSource.php

Config:

public $wp = array(
        'datasource' => 'WordpressSource.WordpressSource',
        'host' => 'localhost/eduardo/wordpress',
        'path' => '/xmlrpc.php',
        'username' => 'admin',
        'password' => '2w',
        'blog_id' => 0
);

Controller:

$wp = ConnectionManager::getDataSource('wp');
$res = $wp->getPosts(array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post',
'number' => 5,
'orderby' => 'post_modified',
'order' => 'desc',
), array(
'post_title'
));

What it could be?

I will need to install a WP instance on localhost to check if the issue is the name of the host. but for now, please try this:

public $wp = array(
        'datasource' => 'WordpressSource.WordpressSource',
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'path' => '/eduardo/wordpress/xmlrpc.php',
        'username' => 'admin',
        'password' => '2w',
        'blog_id' => 0
);

let the host simply be that, localhost. The path would be the path to the xmlrpc file. Let me know if that works.

I have the same error but WP instance works on localhost.

No solution for remote connection with datasource ?

For example the code bellow works :

<?php
App::uses( 'IXR_Client', 'Vendor' );
App::uses( 'Shell', 'Console' );

class RemoteShell extends AppShell {

    public function main() {
        $client = new IXR_Client('http://ndd.com/remote/xmlrpc.php');

        $USER = '****';
        $PASS = '****';

        if (!$client->query('wp.getCategories','', $USER,$PASS)) 
        {  
            echo('Error occured during category request.' . $client->getErrorCode().":".$client->getErrorMessage());  
        }
        $cats = $client->getResponse();

        if(!empty($cats))
        {
            $this->out('Categories:<br />\n');
            foreach($cats as $_cat) 
                $this->out($_cat['categoryId']);
        }
    }

    public function post() {
        $client = new IXR_Client('http://ndd.com/remote/xmlrpc.php');

        $USER = '****';
        $PASS = '****';
        $content = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'post_title' => 'Test',
            'post_content' => '<p>Test content</p>',
            'terms' => array(
                'category' => array(2)
            )
        );

        if (!$client->query('wp.newPost','', $USER,$PASS, $content)) 
        {  
            echo('Error occured during post request.' . $client->getErrorCode().":".$client->getErrorMessage());  
        }
        $post_id = $client->getResponse();

        if(!empty($post_id))
        {
            $this->out($post_id);
        }
    }

}
