Cobbler API returning 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remote_methods'

[pretish tripathi]

Hello Everybody 

I am trying to edit a host using the cobbler API however I get the below error :

---- snip ----
Fault returned from XML RPC Server, fault code 1:
exceptions.AttributeError:'NoneType' object has no attribute
'remote_methods'

---- snip ----

The script I am using is :

---- snip ----
	1.
my $conn = Frontier::Client->new( 'url' => "http://xxx...;
	2.
my $token = $conn->call("login","$username","$password");
	3.
my $object = $conn->call("get_system_handle","$old_hostname", $token);
	4. print Dumper ($object);
	5.
$conn->call("modify_system",$object,"name","$new_hostname",$token);
	6.
$conn->call("modify_system",$object, "hostname", "$new_hostname", $token);
	7. $conn->call("save_system",$object, $token);
	8. $conn->call("sync",$token);

---- snip ----

 Now the print statement gives me the following :


$VAR1 = 'system::old_hostname';


Also, I am able to fetch information about the host using " my $system =
$booter->call("get_system","$hash{$temp}{'old_hostname'}"
);"

and Dumper($system) , gives me the correct information . I wonder why modify system is not
working as expected .
