None of them have worked

Below is my installation

PHP version >=5.0.0     Required     7.0.33-0+deb9u3     Ok
PHP MySQL extension     Required     Yes     Ok
Server system     Info     Linux     Ok

http://anonymous:password@repo.frontaccounting.eu/2.4/ does not work and
repo.frontaccounting.eu redirects to frontaccounting.com


Any other suggestions?

Yes, I can reproduce this. Will talk to Janusz about this.

I just installed a fresh version 2.4.7 and I'm getting this error.  Please tell me how I can fix. 

Thanks!

Check if OpenSSL is available in your php.ini.

Re: Cannot download repo index file. error 2.4.6

I updated to 2.4.9 and also get "Kan het repo index-bestand niet downloaden." (Dutch for cannot download repo index file".
I have php 7.3 and have OpenSSL 1.1.1f available in my php info.

What to do now?

Re: Cannot download repo index file. error 2.4.6

Problem occurs in these clients:
- Microsoft Edge Versie 89.0.774.45 (Officiële build) (64-bits),
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Versie 20H2 (Build van besturingssyteem 19042.844),
- Firefox Browser 85.0.2 (64-bits)  and  Firefox Browser 86.0 (64-bits),
all on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (19042.844) NL.
By the way, also occurs when I try Safari on my iPhone.
So more or less on any client I can find at the moment

So it looks like a server-side error.
Server information:
- PHP: version 7.3.27, Apache server,
- MySQL: 5.5.5-10.3.27-MariaDB-1:10.3.27+maria~focal,
- Linux 5.4.0-29-generic #33-Ubuntu platform.
Updated PHP-version to 8.0 just to try if that solves anything, but that didn't help.

Could it be because of script-breaking changes in PHP 5 -> 7 ?
Unfortunately I cannot test that since my host won't allow versions below 7.3 anymore.

For your information:
In my Frontaccounting instance, System check (under Settings tab) gives all Ok's in the table, but mentions this information on top of the page:

Re: Cannot download repo index file. error 2.4.6

Try with PHP 7, 7.1 and 7.2 and see it broke then. Try switching the exchange rate provider. Some broke earlier.

Re: Cannot download repo index file. error 2.4.6

Is not only about exchange rate, also languages, templates, add ons
PHP below 7.3 is not provided anymore by my host because of security polucy, sorry.
