Cannot Connect to Online Repository (mirror1.freepbx.org, mirror2.freepbx.org)

Cannot Connect to Online Repository (mirror1.freepbx.org, mirror2.freepbx.org) to my Freepbx 15.0.16.37 system. Is this a known issue?

tim007 · December 21, 2019, 7:39pm

Not sure if it is known to the FreePBX team, but I am having the same issue. Bad timing, as I was planning to attempt the upgrade to v15 today.

It is helpful to know that it isn’t just me…

I’m seeing the same thing. Also bad timing as I had to roll back to a snapshot from four days ago (managed to lock myself out of the system) and I know that a bunch of modules had been updated in that time span.

Edit - forgot that I’d had this problem once before but that time the mirrors came back up before I saw the reply or had a chance to try the proposed solution. Well I tried it today, and it works!

shellriegel · December 21, 2019, 8:26pm

So it looks like mirror2.freepbx.org is the offending repository, as pings do work to mirror1. I tried all the various old tricks to clear the issue and confirmed it isn’t blocked by my firewall.
I further confirmed that iptables on the freepbx instance correctly has the IPv4 /32 for both mirror1 and mirror2 in the fpbxhosts chain as -j zone-trusted

Hopefully someone at Sangoma will look into:

What’s up with the mirrors
Do things work fine just using mirror1 while mirror2 is offline?

I’m also having this issue. No recent updates and was planning an update to v15 today. I’m running v14.0.13.12.

I’ve also tried all the usual steps. I ran fwconsole ma updateall and that ran without issue. I also ran a wget to mirror 1 and that timed out - but the ip was resolved.

Good to know it’s not just my system having issues.

tim007 · December 21, 2019, 8:34pm

Both seem to be having issues. Yes, mirror1 responds to ping, but I am unable to download the upgrade module from it.

shellriegel · December 21, 2019, 8:36pm

I am in the same boat.
I am on official PBX distro 14.0.13.12
System version 12.7.6-1910-1.sng7

See my edited third post above or just go directly to Attempting to connect to mirror.freepbx.org returns "ERROR 503: Service Unavailable." and read the second post.

Basically, run this:

fwconsole setting MODULE_REPO https://mirror.freepbx.org

And everything will be better 8)

Not if you are trying to install.

The new mirror rob posted (Which is https) is the default for new installs.

This is not going well for me at all with the mirrors:

$ fwconsole setting MODULE_REPO https://mirror.freepbx.org

$ fwconsole ma install pm2

Go into advanced settings and turn off the proxy repo for node. I don’t remember the exact setting name. Search for proxy.

reraikes · December 22, 2019, 9:34am

That’s all well and good, but you can’t download the FreePBX installation tarballs: Both:

http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-14.0-latest.tgz

and

http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-15.0-latest.tgz

fail with:

503 Service Unavailable

No server is available to handle this request.

snovotill · December 22, 2019, 11:45am

Well, my issue started only after the mirrors went down, and it’s not the proxy setting.
It’s 4AM here now so I need to give up and try again in the morning!

ashcortech · December 22, 2019, 12:30pm

is there a way to do this through the web UI? Got one system I don’t currently have SSH access to.

Simon · December 22, 2019, 4:20pm

I am trying to update FreePBX from 12 to 13 and this is causing me problems. I am at the last step running this script and it cant find the mirror1 and 2. How can i update it in the CLI so i cant complete the upgrade?
https://upgrades.freepbxdistro.org/stable/10.13.66/upgrade-10.13.66-1.sh

jerrm · December 22, 2019, 5:13pm

But there are other dependencies on mirror.freepbx.org.

As stated above npm is still an issue.

Also - the sipsettings install (part of the core install - n) makes a call to “fwconsole extip” and bombs out the entire install after the timeout. fwconsole extip is trying to access http://mirror.freepbx.org/whatsmyip.php. The https version of the URL works.

Grepping around and changing the source as appropriate for both issues gets things going, but ideally shouldn’t be necessary. sipsettings could continue without the extip, the npm stuff could fall back to no proxy. Both maybe with a warning.

Probably should file a report, but family is about to show up for Christmas gatherings for now.

tm1000 · December 22, 2019, 7:18pm

Ah right. That’s a very good point.

billsimon · December 22, 2019, 7:26pm

This seems to be a recurring and embarrassing problem for FreePBX IT Dept.
