Magento

Hello everyone,

I’d be delighted if anyone could help me with a problem I’ve been having.

I am having problems with installing Magento Connect extensions.

The error that I get when I put an extension in to download is “CONNECT ERROR: Cannot connect to host: magento-community”

Is anyone else having this problem? More importantly, does anyone know of a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any replies I receive

James

Having the same problem here too:

CONNECT ERROR: Invalid server response for http://magento-community

Looks like some configuration item is missing or something, but I can’t figure out which one.

Hi guys,

No sooner had I posted this problem had I found that in the release notes it explains that you have to change the extension key format.

For example: magento-core/Mage_Downloader needs to be changed to http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Mage_Downloader

http://www.magentocommerce.com/download/release_notes#Release%20Notes%20-%20Magento%201.4.2.0-beta1%20(July%2027,%202010)

My problem now is that it tells me I have invalid log in credentials! :-(

I have the same errors “CONNECT ERROR: Invalid server response for http://magento-community”

Take a look at the realease notes of Magento 1.4.2.0-beta1.

http://www.magentocommerce.com/download/release_notes#Release%20Notes%20-%20Magento%201.4.2.0-beta1%20(July%2027,%202010)

There you’ll find information about your problem.

What could be causing my problem?!

CONNECT ERROR: Cannot connect to host: connect20.magentocommerce.com

Please help! And don’t tell me to look at the documentation again because I have been using the URL http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/B4Before_ProtxDirect to try to install the SagePay extension

I need help urgently!

Thanks,

James M.

Same problem here, latest version of magento, I’ve tried both the keys for the sage pay extension.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/ebizmarts/extension/163/protx-direct-payment-module

Using: magento-community/B4Before_ProtxDirect
Result: Invalid server response for http://magento-community

Using: http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/B4Before_ProtxDirect
Result: community/B4Before_ProtxDirect: Version for ‘B4Before_ProtxDirect’ was not detected

So something is obviously wrong here, and I urgently need this to carry on with development for a client.

In the downloader menu go to settings - change preffered state to alpha.

try again.. Hope it works for you

Bumping this because it’s important.

Right now the error message does not indicate that these errors are Stability issues.. We’re working on changing that.  In the meantime, as the sticky on this subject indicates—change the state. Also, 1.5 needs to use 2.0 extensions. Anything prior (with the exception of RC1 which I hope nobody still has) uses 1.0

Thanks!

Again, bumping.

I’m having the same problem, it appears, that connect20 is giving no chance to install anything, f.e.: community/TelescopeTheme: No releases for ‘TelescopeTheme’, skipping

i can install no extensions, so magento doesn’t work for me and i suppose i’m not the only one. can anyone, who does knowledgebase or manuals, reflect this? thank you.

I am very late on this thread, but I resolve same issue by just removing the magento- from the installation key
for example if you key name is magento-community/Dull_Uploader then just change it to community/Dull_Uploader, and enter this in extension url via magento connect manager
