I spent the last two days debugging a problem that caused my site to randomly redirect to the index.php/install page. I solved the problem by clearing the cache and the sessions folder, and then rebooting the server. I found the event that triggered the bug. The problem occurs when I try to add a service reference in MS visual studio 2012 using the following links.

http://magentohost/api/?wsdl 
http://magentohost/api/soap/?wsdl

Using these two URLS cause the following error in the error log. 

    [Thu Jul 24 08:20:40 2014] [error] [client 10.0.0.115] PHP Fatal error:  SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://hostname.com/index.php/api/soap/index/?wsdl=1&wsdl%2F_vti_bin%2FListData_svc%2F%24metadata=' : failed to load external entity "http://hostname.com/index.php/api/soap/index/?wsdl=1&wsdl%2F_vti_bin%2FListData_svc%2F%24metadata="\n in /var/www/html/lib/Zend/Soap/Server.php on line 811

[Thu Jul 24 08:20:46 2014] [error] [client 10.0.0.115] PHP Fatal error:  SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't find <definitions> in 'http://hostname.com/index.php/api/soap/index/?wsdl=1&wsdl%2Fmex=' in /var/www/html/lib/Zend/Soap/Server.php on line 811

Here is line 811 of Server.php

$server = new SoapServer($this->_wsdl, $options);

I tried connecting to those URLS on CE version 1.8.0 alpha and they worked fine.

I just recently upgraded from version 1.8.0 alpha to 1.9.0.1.

The following URL doesn't cause a problem in CE version 1.9.0

http://magentohost/api/v2_soap?wsdl=1

Does anyone know if this is a bug in CE version 1.9.0.1 or is it an error in my upgrade? Can you not connect to soap v1 with visual studio 2012?

This is an already known and patched Magento Bug.

Magento Install Page Displays After SOAP v2 Index Page Refresh

Patch name: SUPEE-3762. Refreshing the SOAP v2 index page (http://your-magento-host-name/index.php/api/v2_soap/index/) results in all administrators and customers viewing the Magento installation page.

  • Sorry, I read over the fact that you're using SOAPv1. I didn't test if this patch solves your issue then. – Anna Völkl Aug 25 '14 at 18:17
