1. Make sure you have created the certificate sigining request file(CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest) from your SERVER from where you are invoking the PHP script. Most users usually create this file from their local development machine and then upload to iphone developer portal to create the aps_developer_identity.cer. (I strongly believe this is the case with you as I can see you are using a Linux server. Let me know if you need steps to create CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest on a linux machine. )
2. You might have missed any one of the step mentioned above in the tutorial.

I have some issues about Apple Push Notification :

1. if I am using sandbox environment to push notification on iphone then how can I push messages to my multiple iphone devices for testing purpose.

2. I can make a build with ad-hoc provisioning profile to test application.

3. How can I send user preferred messages to specific user.

4. How can I send geo-based push notification to user.

Please reply if you have any idea about above issues.

Thanks in advance

I have some questions about iLime, but can’t find any support email from your website.
Can you please give me an email address that I can contact iLime?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply!

My hosting company block all my connection to Apple.
So I am building my linux server, I use ubuntu.

Thanks again!

Kevin

Sorry for the late reply I was held up with loads of work. You should remember, all the keys and certificates are for the machine where you are finally deploying your code(where you want to run those php scripts).

I used Amazon EC2 servers which gave me terminal access and i was able to deploy the APNS services without any hassles. Once you get the aps_developer_identity.cer, execute the following commands on your server.
Generating .PEM file
To create the file ck.pem file required to access the APNS service, we need to generate the ck.pem file by running the following command on the SSH terminal:
openssl x509 -inform der -in aps_production_identity.cer -out ck.pem
Once the ck.pem file is generated, PHP is ready to use that certificate to talk to push notification over the secure SSL channel.

Hope this helps..!

I can create the server.key file but can’t create the server.csr

When I try this command to create the .csr file
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
it shows:
Unable to load config info from /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf

Anyway, our server is hosted in other company and they provide cPanel X to set up our server. I find that there is a SSL/TLS Manager. And I use this manager to create the Private Key. When I want to create the private key, I typed our website into the host field and use key size:2048. After that I use this key from SSL/TLS Manager to generate a server.csr file and I need to type in the country, state…. etc….

Are these steps correct?

I upload this server.csr file to iPhone developer portal to create the APNS SSL certificate- aps_developer_identity.cer
and then double click this aps_developer_identity.cer to install into my local iMac. I open the keychain access and find that this certificate without any private key.

What should I do next?

Please help! Many thanks!

Kevin

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048

Next use the server.key file and run the below command to create the .csr file that is uploaded to the iPhone developer portal.

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

Running these command prompts to enter various details like country, state city etc. Provide appropriate values to each of the options to create the CSR file. Upload the CSR file to the iPhone developer portal to create the APNS SSL certificate – aps_developer_identity.cer

Hope this helps..!

Yes, I did create the certificate sigining request file from my computer and then upload to our host server (a linux machine).
Please give me the steps to create CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest on a linux machine.

Thank you very much for all your help!

Thanks for your reply!
My ck.pem file is in the same folder of testAPNS.php

I tried
stream_context_set_option($ctx, ’ssl’, ‘local_cert’, ‘ck.pem’);
and
stream_context_set_option($ctx, ’ssl’, ‘local_cert’, ‘/public_html/ck.pem’);

but the same result:
Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: unable to connect to ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 (Connection timed out) in /home/kcs33109/public_html/testAPNS.php on line 21
Failed to connect 110

I really don’t know how to solve it!

Please help!

The error mostly occurs when the APNS certificate is not proper. Do make sure the path to the “ck.pem” file is correct(You need to give your full system path to the file: /Library/WebServer/Documents/apns/ck.pem)

Hope it helps..!
All the best,

But get the below error:

We are located in Australia. Any idea for how to solve this problem!

Thanks!

The code was very use full to me

Thanks,
