Serendipity Forums

Hi,
I have "Powered by Serendipity 1.5.4 and PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2"
I just updated from ubuntu 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS. with 8.04 all worked well (with s9y 1.5.4 too).

Now, when I try to check for new plugins I got this message:

-----BEGIN ERROR------
Trying to open URL package_sidebar_en.xml...
The URL http://s9y.org/mirror/package_sidebar_en.xml (IP 178.63.83.86) could not be opened. Maybe the Serendipity or SourceForge.net Server is down - we are sorry, you need to try again later.

(The repository returned error code 404.)

Unable to retrieve data from SPARTACUS repository. Checking for repository availability on http://s9y.org/.

It was not possible to download the required files from the Spartacus repository, but the health of our repository was retrievable. This means your provider uses a content-based firewall and does not allow to fetch PHP code over the web by using mod_security or other reverse proxies. You either need to ask your provider to turn this off, or you cannot use the Spartacus plugin and need to download files manually.
Fetched 103784 bytes from already existing file on your server. Saving file as /var/www/s9y/templates_c/package_sidebar_en.xml...
----END ERROR----

If I tr to manually retrieve http://s9y.org/mirror/package_sidebar_en.xml, the browser gives me a 404 error.

I don't think is a problem of my provider but in any case there is a way for me to check it?

What can I do?

Thanks Bye Jack

Hi!

Seems you changed the spartacus plugin configuration and changed the servers to something else. Set it to SourceForge.net again and it should work...

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have changed nothing (I'm sure, I don't mess around thing I don't understand). It's possible that something went wrong when I updated from version 1.3.1 to 1.5.4?

Anyway, here (I hope) there is my spartacus config file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2619955/serendi ... rtacus.php

I'm not sure what to change...

Thank you
Bye Jack

Hi!

No, actually an update should not mess with those settings.

You don't need to edit the file, only go to your s9y admin panel, "configure plugins" and then to the spartacus plugin. You should be able to choose the download/mirror server through a dropdown!

HTH,
Garvin

Hi, ok problem solved.

I've selected NetMirror.org (for both xml and files), SourceForge didn't work (and can be chosen only for files but not xml).

Thanks Bye Jack
