Magento

Is anyone else having problems installing new addons using the new Magento Connect version (2.0)? I just installed the latest version, went to install my language packs using the new url\’s and i get \"Connection Error try again later.\” I tried all yesterday and today and still get the same problem. This is an example addon:

http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Locale_Mage_Core_fr_FR

1.5?

Fresh install or upgrade?

I tried using a clean of version 1.5 and 1.5.0.1 with the same result on both.

http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Locale_Mage_Core_fr_FR/1.0.18800/Locale_Mage_Core_fr_FR-1.0.18800.tgz

-------------------
The 1.5.0.1 Downloader has some bugs.
Depends packages can not be properly installed.

A hotfix, I have applied to. Attention only to the test.
The site is in German, but their use the translators (on top of the page).

Yep, used the 2.0 extension straight from the “Get Extension Key” section.

The problem is dependent packages.

Example installation of the package market_ready_germany:

But the package is installed! NOGO!

This is a bug see above downloader-fix-magento-1.5.0.1.zip

SNM, you are actually getting a response from the downloader though by the looks of it? When i try, nothing appears in the PEAL dialog box, instead i get a red statement with the connection error.

I have test the package on my local server
error -> community/Locale_Mage_Core_fr_FR: Version for ‘Locale_Mage_Core_fr_FR’ was not detected

Set the ‘Preferred State’ under Setting set to beta and install and is workt

Attention by dependencies of packages!

Ok so should I go for the betas then? ... I don’t like that ... why should we go for that one when there’s a stable version =/ also I’m getting the same red banner result

OK incase your German is a little rusty or you don’t like to read HERE IS THE FIX:

1) Download the downloader-fix-magento-1.5.0.1.zip
2) Install by replacing those 2 files in your download directory.  just extract contents and then copy the download folder to where your download folder is on your site and say yes when asked if you want to replace both of those files.
3) Open magento connect, go to the settings tab and set Preferred State: to Beta

@Sduart and others concerned: you are not using betas so there is no reason fret.  This just enables the fix to work.  As far as I understand the beta option in MC just allows you from installing betas which would otherwise be blocked.  As long as you are using an extension key for a stable extension then you should have no worries!

Veracious, the zip file you linked to is currently going to a blank page for me…

Sorry about that Mage Fox.  Magento’s forums acting up.  I can’t even upload files to their forum right now.  It can be downloaded from SNM-Portal who has a link above. I just reposted it so that it was easier for people to find and so you would know how to use it.

community/XXXXX Version for 'community/XXXXXX' was not detected.

This is stability settings. Change them on magento connect to “beta” and you should install fine.

Just FYI we are still troubleshooting this problem but have found that a work around posted here in the forums works as well.  Remove the http:// from 2.0 extension keys.  This has been tested on a few folks that have this problem and it has worked for them.

Just to be clear, this is for the “Connection Error, try again later” error discussed in this thread.
