I have setup the config file to what i think it needs to be, and added some sample php code to connect to my pc with the correct username and password.
I have configured port forwarding to forward the entire 8330 - 8339 range to my pc. I have tested the port using an online scanner and it is open.
But when i run the sample code, i get no connection.
The error when i load the php file is:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Incorrect response id (request id: 1, response id: )' in /home/joeyjoec/public_html/bitcoinpaypal/jsonRPCClient.php:152
