setting up a linux provider for Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)

Question

Salaam,

I am referring to this question to setup a linux provider.

I think the difference between the main tutorial and the Linux version has to do with how the certificates are installed/stored/used..etc

These are the steps I have done with their status:

• ok : create app-id
• ok : upload provider .csr
• ok : download apns certificate .p12
• ok : transform it to .pem and concatenate with provider privatekey.pem
• ok : test connection with cmd 1; successfull in showing "connected000003" and some text
• ok : test connection with cmd 2 (using Entrust CA)
• nok: test push message using tutorial's simple php: permission denied

cmd1: openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -cert apns-dev- cert.pem -key privateKey.pem

cmd2: openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -cert ck.pem -debug -showcerts -CAfile server-ca-cert.pem

Answer 1

my target is easyapns, but I was testing with simpepush.php provided with the first tutorial. suprinsingly, the script worked from the command line but not from the browser !

now i'm trying easyapns from browser and it's working.

More suprisingly, I just had to use the ck.pem from the mac machine, uploaded to the linux box

I am unable to explain why...

Answer 2

Looks like you are using easyapns. Maybe in the sql database you aren't in sandbox mode? If you have permission denied try to chmod the php file to 777
