ModuleManager error

Post by jmcgin51 »

Just installed CMSMS 1.0 (fresh install, not upgrade), and the installation went off without a hitch - nice work, Dev Team!!!

However, when I try to use the Module Manager, I get the following error on the Available Modules tab:

Error!

SOAP Problem (http://modules.cmsmadesimple.org/soap.p ... Repository): HTTP Error: Couldn't open socket connection to server http://modules.cmsmadesimple.org/soap.p ... Repository prior to connect(). This is often a problem looking up the host name.


this error didn't occur yesterday; I was able to view all the modules.  Today, though, no luck...  Any ideas?  Everything else appears to work fine.

just tested, worked fine (a bit slow though) as modulemanager queries this data from cmsms server in realtime there might be some network problems or just that cmsms server doesnt respond quickly enough (can be excpected now that everyone is testing 1.0 out)

hope this helps

Ok, I'm behind a corporate network now, so I'll try it from home and see if I have any problems...  thanks

Hi, thanks for your checking. I had a response from my host:
"The issue is that our firewall does not allow outgoing requests to other servers. This is a security restriction."
My host must have made this change to their security restrictions as it had worked previously. Fortunately they were able to configure the security to allow me to make outgoing connections and it seems to work fine now.
My advice to others in my situation is to check that your host allows outgoing requests/connections to other servers.
