Not a valid entrypoint

[mag1974]

I have been using sugarcrm and its soap interface on a server for a long time.

Now I am trying to set up a new server with sugarcrm and a php based web application.
Both sugarcrm and the php application are on the same physical server but under different domain names.

Now when I try to include the nusoap.php file using a absolute path, it gives me "Not a valid entry point" error .
The path is given as require_once('../../crmuser/sugarcrm/include/nusoap/nusoap.php');

Note that the path points to sugarcrm domains document root folder and read access permission is given correctly.

I tried copying the entire include/nusoap folder to my working directory and modified the include path as follows
require_once('nusoap/nusoap.php'); I still get the "Not a valid entry point error"

I tried searching and searching but nowhere is it mentioned how I can install a soap library correctly on the client side and connect to a remote sugarcrm server.

Please help any assistance is welcome. My condition is desperate.

Given below is the first few lines of my code for your perusal.
$Global['sugarEntry'];
$sugarEntry = true;
$crm_user="crmuser";
$crm_password=md5("<password censored>");
#require_once('../../crmuser/sugarcrm/include/nusoap/nusoap.php'); //must also have the nusoap code on the ClientSide.
#require_once('../../crmuser/sugarcrm/include/nusoap/nusoap.php'); //must also have the nusoap code on the ClientSide.
require_once('./nusoap/nusoap.php'); //must also have the nusoap code on the ClientSide.

$soapclient = new nusoapclient('http://89.16.172.53/crm/soap.php'); //define the SOAP Clien

Hello mag1974,

In an earlier version, Sugar switched from using the $GLOBALS['sugarEntry'] check to using a constant named sugarEntry. Try adding this line near the top of your file:

 if(!defined('sugarEntry')) define('sugarEntry', true); 
  

I also blanked out the password you posted above, just in case.
