Urgent: How to fix this FreePBX Repo Access Issue?

Jimmy_K

Dear All,

I have been in the critical situation as the "Admin Modules" can't update the online modules.

This is the error:

"Warning: Cannot connect to online repository(s) (http://mirror1.freepbx.org,http://mirror2.freepbx.org). Online modules are not available."

Kindly assist

Check your DNS and connectivity and make sure you can resolve those DNS records.

Also look at this:

Jimmy_K

Well, it doesn't work at all

Jimmy_K

@dbeato I can't find any solution here

Start with pinging, can you ping that address?

ping mirror1.freepbx.org

If no, can you resolve it?

nslookup mirror1.freepbx.org

@scottalanmiller Thanks for having you here

Here what I have after ping mirror1.freepbx.org
"ping: unknown host mirror1.freepbx.org"

So you cannot resolve it, what are your DNS servers for this system?

Check the contents of /etc/resolv.conf likely there is no DNS server listed.

It's also possible that the system is not plumbed at all, are you connected via SSH or a local console?

@scottalanmiller and here is the result

nameserver 127.0.0.1

Generated by NetworkManager

No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your

ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:

DNS1=8.8.8.8

DNS2=8.8.4.4

DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com

@scottalanmiller I connected with both

Are the DNS on that domain working?

Jimmy_K

@dbeato I am still able to ping those DNS

It says right there in that file that it won't work. No Nameservers Found. So you have to modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to put them in. Until then, the system won't have working DNS.

So your network is working, but without DNS entries, it can't find servers.

@scottalanmiller I have tried to modify "etc/resolv.conf" as below

nameserver 192.168.1.221
# Generated by NetworkManager


# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=8.8.8.8
# DNS2=8.8.4.4
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com

& modify this as well
" etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="static"
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
HWADDR="00:E0:4C:86:40:9A"
IPADDR="192.168.1.221"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
# DNS1=8.8.8.8
# DNS2=8.8.4.4
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
UUID="30ddc6a1-0719-4729-b7cf-cc65fa10a038"

then after that I checked
" nslookup mirror 1.freepbx.org "
the result as
"connection time out; try next origin
connection time out; no servers could be reached"

How to solve this?

scottalanmiller

Well in both cases, your DNS is commented out. So it is not working, exactly as it is defined. You need to have DNS entries. Uncomment them in your ifcfg-eth0 so that it can put them into resolv.conf. Don't modify resolv.conf itself, let the script do it.

So...

# DNS1=8.8.8.8
# DNS2=8.8.4.4

Needs to be...

DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4

@scottalanmiller it is the same thing. The error is still there

@jimmy_k now the message as

" Server: 127.0.0.1

Server can't find mirror1.freepbx.org: REFUSED
