Forum OpenACS Q&A: Install from Repository Broken

Collapse
Posted by Matthew Burke on

I just installed 5.4.3 and have attempted to install additional packages using "Install from Repository" from http://bitdojo.org/acs-admin/install/

Result:

Take me back where I was (before the error)

Couldn't get the package list. Please try again later.
    while executing
"error "Couldn't get the package list. Please try again later.""
    (procedure "apm_get_package_repository" line 19)
    invoked from within
....

I ran into the same problem last Monday (while demo-ing in front of an audience).

If I browse to the repository (https://openacs.org/repository/) I see that the only channel available is 5-5 (although there are no packages listed in that channel).

What gives?

The problem was that the server on openacs.org was running out of memory (could not fork to execute cvs). I hope, the hosting team can upgrade the VM and perform a daily reboot. For now, i performed a manual rebuild of the repository, so things are for now back to normal.
