Linux firewall stops Magento Connect

vmajor Total Posts: 12 Joined: 2009-02-08 Ignore user	Hi, after enabling the firewall on our development CentOs server, Magento Connect stopped working. This is one example of the error: downloading Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern-1.2.1.tgz ... Starting to download Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern-1.2.1.tgz (494,231 bytes) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...done: 494,231 bytes downloading Mage_Core_Modules-1.2.1.tgz ...

Disabling the firewall is not an option. Cheers, Victor

Are you able to use e.g. ‘wget’ from the command line to download remote files? If not, you probably need to allow outbound port 80 in your firewall. Make sure to update us on this.

Simply clear your PEAR cache out: rm -rf downloader/pearlib/cache/* downloader/pearlib/download/* If you don’t have SSH, open up FTP, go to those directories, and delete everything inside of them.
