Local Repo

Attempting to visit http://repo.garrapato.com/ results in a "no content here" webpage instead of prompting for a username and password. If you have set no username and password for it's access, then comment out / remove the first two array elements. It should then work.

The extensions did not download within FA but only when manually the URLs were entered in FireFox.

http://repo.garrapato.com/2.3/ seems to be password protected though.

http://repo.garrapato.com/2.3/extensions/cfdi-2.3.0-1.pkg did successfully download after providing the credentials.

http://repo.garrapato.com/2.3/extensions/zen_import-2.3.15-1.pkg also was successfully downloaded without asking for the credentials again and it is the official signed pkg.

Expect you created the Extensions.gz and Release.gz properly (since it displays only a subset including yours), otherwise enable error display and check out the SHA1sums in them if you are manually making it.

Make sure that the FA webroot has the FA.pem file if you are using any official pkgs.

Also see if the same problem arises if FA is installed in the server's webroot:
from
http://garrapato.com/sandbox/fa/
to
http://garrapato.com/

You are using latin1 charset - try utf8 / utf8-general-ci

Did you actually compile the pkgs listed in the repo? If so, please list the method you used right from key creation to pkg creation and repo updation.

I deactivated the cfdi extension for the Sandbox and then tried to delete the cfdi pkg in vain. It appears that there may be some openssl issue in verification. Try to bypass the signed pkg requirement in the first post in this thread and see if that is the problem.

Also please list the steps taken to make the Release.sig file so I can replicate here.

To the extent possible try to avoid using htaccess file and place it's contents in the apache conf directly with no overrides.

The latency from here to your host at both www.garrapato.com and the repo subdomain are about 330 to 350 ms and that may not be an issue as I've worked with far slower ones.

Please delete gz files in the modules/_cache folder and then try again. The code does not bother to retrieve the gz files afresh and relies on existing ones even if their sha1sum is different if they exist locally (YMMV).

Also request how / which file you made as Release.sig.

The automation scripts placed in the farepo folder (permissions 700,  execute as ./getrelease) for creating the various gz files are:

Filename: getconfigs

#!/bin/sh

# Use with
# find ./2.3/extensions/ -type f -name *.pkg -exec ./getconfigs \{\} \; | gzip > Extensions.gz

hi apmuthu!, i followed your post but i was not able to see any extensions available,

im using usbwebserver http://www.usbwebserver.net/en/ to test FA, i would like to try the other extensions and themes available without internet connection.

im using your githup repo and the address http://localhost/farepo/2.3/ and also change  'host' => 'localhost',
and followed the editing of function get_pkg_or_list() exactly.

i was able to open the install/activate options unlike before apache would show an error/crash, the only problem left is i dont see anything to install or activate. it shows just the heading.

what could be the problem here? thank you!
