Can't connect to upgrade packages

You may not have the gateway on the box set right or the DNS could be wrong. Once you get internet access to the box, then those things will work.

Kerry, I have a similiar problem. When I logon to Forums, all is well. When I try to log on to Packages, it says invalid user id/password. Any ideas. This was working properly a few days ago.

Yep,

same here. I cannot connect to the server to get updates and packages from the Trixbox site.

Moreover, when I do manage to connect, I check the tbm-hudlite component and then I get the text saying "Nothing to do" although hudlite is not installed.

Hi forum. I have just begun to experiment with trixbox. I seem to be having the same problem and cannot get connected to upgrade or install packages. There seems to be a problem with my network. It says I cannot get connected to the internet. Yet, I can ping trixbox.org. BTW, the above link is not found. I have looked through the forum, but have not come up with anything else, except 1 member added this to their hosts file.
66.234.135.90 trixbox.org
66.234.135.90 upgrade.trixbox.org
64.9.11.246 freepbx.org
65.111.165.203 mirror.freepbx.org
which I did, but still no luck.

Just wondering if this has been solved and how, or can someone point me in the right direction.

Using trixbox 2.0 .iso fresh install.

Thanks in advance.

hi am having same issues , on public ip etc , connected to internet but cant update packages , keep giving me this message that im not connected to internet

I had the same problem as you. I could not register or get access to the packages, even though my machine could ping internet sites. This was on a fresh install of Trixbox 2.2.

What I think the problem was is that when I installed the software and brought up the box it was not connected to the network. When I connected the network after the install I did a netconfig and 'service network restart' to get internet access. But for some reason the gui still did not seem to think it was connected. After I rebooted the box with the cable connected everything worked fine.

I am speculating that there is something in the Trixbox software that determines connectivity on boot and that it did not see the connection even after I restarted the network service.

I got the same exact issue here. I just installed Trixbox 2.2.3 I know the Trixbox machine can connect to the internet because I was able to update using yum -y update. I was also able to update the FreePBX modules. I can ping to www.trixbox.org from the Trixbox machine.

What could possibly be wrong here? I would appreciate your response.

Cheers!

Thanks for the quick reply, Chris. I have checked my router and firewall settings, I still can't get through. At one point I had turned off the firewall since I'm currently on a home network testing this Trixbox but still no go. The TB is currently set as DMZ on my router so I supposed all the ports it needed should be open. I can also connect to the TB using a softphone outside my LAN which proves that this TB is connected to the internet.

I think the root cause of this issue is the fact that my ISP has a transparent proxy that I cannot bypass and they have implemented a content filter which I cannot disable.
Is there any work-around regarding this issue? Are there any updates that can fix this problem with content filters and proxies? How can I install the packages thru CLI? As I mentioned above, I can update using yum -y update so I believe I can install the packages thru CLI..

Thanks,

Dennis

Anyone knows what kind of port needs to be opened at least for upgrading packages? I thought this is a mere outgoing connection to the repository server, thus no need to port forward or poke firewall hole to do this.

Im a new user of trixbox and dont know enough about it, can we download the packages in another system and then install them manually in trixbox? so how?
