Unable to connect remote thing to thingworkx

I'm trying to connect my Intel Galileo Gen 2 board to thingworkx. I'm following the tutorial  Weather Application with Intel Galileo | ThingWorx  . In the example, they have used the HTU21D sensor . As it wasn't available where I live, I'm performing the tutorial  using  a BMP180 sensor. I'm using it to sense temperature and pressure.

I have modified the code given for HTU21D , as follow for BMP180:

Note: For security reasons in have modified my API KEY and MAC address.

include <twApi.h>

#include <twLogger.h>

#include <twOSPort.h>

#include <SFE_BMP180.h>

#include <Ethernet.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <Wire.h>

SFE_BMP180 tp;

/* Mac address of the network adapter */

byte mac[] = {0x98, 0x4F, 0xEE, 0x01, 0xCB, 0xE9  };

/* Name of your thing */

char * thingName = "myTestTempPress";

/* IP/hostname of your TWX server */

char * serverName = "mitpune66.cloud.thingworx.com";

/* port */

int port = 443;

/* API key */

char * apiKey = "d9c81d35-5a28-49b0-9ddf-e9193eda3b66";

/* refresh rate */

int timeBetweenRefresh = 1000;

/* Hold all the properties */

struct  {

  double Temperature;

  double Pressure;

}

properties;

  void sendPropertyUpdate() {

  /* Create the property list */

propertyList * proplist = twApi_CreatePropertyList("Temperature",twPrimitive_CreateFromNumber(properties.Temperature), 0);

  if (!proplist) {

  TW_LOG(TW_ERROR,"sendPropertyUpdate: Error allocating property list");

  return;

  }

  twApi_AddPropertyToList(proplist,"Pressure",twPrimitive_CreateFromNumber(properties.Pressure), 0);

  twApi_PushProperties(TW_THING, thingName, proplist, -1, FALSE);

  twApi_DeletePropertyList(proplist);

}

void dataCollectionTask()

{

  char status;

  status = tp.startTemperature();

  status = tp.getTemperature(properties.Temperature);

  status = tp.startPressure(3);

  status = tp.getPressure(properties.Pressure, properties.Temperature);

    Serial.print("Time:");

  Serial.print(millis());

  Serial.print(" Temperature:");

  Serial.print(properties.Temperature, 1);

  Serial.print("C");

  Serial.print(" Pressure:");

  Serial.print(properties.Pressure, 1);

  Serial.print("mb");

  Serial.println();

  /* Update the properties on the server */

  sendPropertyUpdate();

}

  /*****************

* Property Handler Callbacks

******************/

enum msgCodeEnum propertyHandler(const char * entityName, const char * propertyName,  twInfoTable ** value, char isWrite, void * userdata) {

  char * asterisk = "*";

  if (!propertyName) propertyName = asterisk;

  TW_LOG(TW_TRACE,"propertyHandler - Function called for Entity %s, Property %s", entityName, propertyName);

  if (value) {

      /* Property Reads */

      if (strcmp(propertyName, "Temperature") == 0) *value = twInfoTable_CreateFromNumber(propertyName, properties.Temperature);

      else if (strcmp(propertyName, "Pressure") == 0) *value = twInfoTable_CreateFromNumber(propertyName, properties.Pressure);  

      else return TWX_NOT_FOUND;

    return TWX_SUCCESS;

  }

  else {

    TW_LOG(TW_ERROR,"propertyHandler - NULL pointer for value");

    return TWX_BAD_REQUEST;

  }

}

void setup() {

  int err=0;

  /* Open serial connection */

  Serial.begin(9600);

  /* Wait for someone to launch the console */

  delay(3000);

  /* Setup the ethernet connection */

  Serial.println("Attempting to start Ethernet2");

  if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {

    Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");

  }

  else {

    Serial.println("Sucess getting dhcp address");

  }

  /* start adapter */

  system("ifup eth0");

  /* wait for it to start */

  delay(1000);

  Serial.print("Galileo IP address: ");

  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());

  system("telnetd -l /bin/sh");

  Serial.println("BMP180 Example!");

  tp.begin();

  Serial.print("Initialize TWX: ");

  err = twApi_Initialize(serverName, port, TW_URI, apiKey, NULL, MESSAGE_CHUNK_SIZE, MESSAGE_CHUNK_SIZE, TRUE);

  if (err) {

    Serial.println("Error initializing the API");

  }

  /* Allow self signed certs */

  twApi_SetSelfSignedOk();

  /* Regsiter our properties */

   twApi_RegisterProperty(TW_THING, thingName, "Temperature", TW_NUMBER, NULL, "ALWAYS", 0, propertyHandler,NULL);

   twApi_RegisterProperty(TW_THING, thingName, "Pressure", TW_NUMBER, NULL, "ALWAYS", 0, propertyHandler,NULL);

  /* Bind our thing */

  twApi_BindThing(thingName);

  /* Connect to server */

  if (!twApi_Connect(CONNECT_TIMEOUT, CONNECT_RETRIES)) {

    Serial.println("sucessefully connected to TWX!");

  }

}

void loop() {

  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  dataCollectionTask();

  delay(timeBetweenRefresh);

  Serial.print(".");

}

Every time when I burn the code to my board  the serial monitor waits for a while after printing "Initialize TWX:" and then start printing the temperature and pressure 0 without giving any information regarding the connection! ( In tutorial they have shown a message"successfully connected to TWX!"  when device is connected ) I have attached the screenshot of Serial Monitor and the original as well as modified code .


Please let me know where I'm going wrong  and quick response to this issue will be really appreciated as I have to give a demo to my fellow classmates on the day after tomorrow on IOT and ThingWorx.
