RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

You add those variables to gsconfig.php or configuration.php and you get extra debugging info.
These are your configuration files.

I don't think that would do anything to cause this.
More than likely one of the things that was added to fix other hosts broke yours.
one of the curl options perhaps.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

I might try to make a plugin that can debug this, would be easier to use.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - ph0t0 - 2014-03-17

I got that. I just wanted to ask that .htaccess thing before starting to degub. I'm not interested in adding plugin because of this.

I'm starting debug now & will inform later.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - ph0t0 - 2014-03-17

Now (debug mode+2 additions in configuration.php) error doesn’t stay gone long, just some “moments”.
Errorlog is empty, there is no debugLog, Debug Console is enough for me.

Only one time I saw this:

Debug Console:
- - -
API: curl error number:7
API: curl error:couldn't connect to host
API: curl Verbose:

Lots of these:

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

It is cached every 11 minutes hence the nocache =true;
Also only do it on the health check page cause the plugins do checks for every single one.

This is mine successful of course

you can try the nocurl = true also.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

2 more things i can think of

configuration.php

change
$api_url = 'http://google.com';

and then see if you get an output like mine above.

also try ip
$api_url = '74.125.229.168';

That eliminates that dns is working, and gs is not blocking your host

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - hameau - 2014-03-17

I can also confirm a curl timeout for http://get-simple.info/api/start/v3.php, same result for http://get-simple.info and http://mediatemple.net (GS hosts). The DNS is resolving to the correct IP (shown in the debug console) and the server logs show the outgoing TCP request to that IP address, but no errors.

Other addresses are fine (google.com, tablatronix.com, godaddy.com, ...) and complete in under 150 ms.

The oldest GS version that I have on the same hosting server is v3.2.x, which also fails to make the version check.

I have set the hosting environment (as far as I can) to development (no caching) and no firewall filtering. The host has suffered some DDoS attacks in the last few weeks, so they have certainly tightened things up, but it only seems to be a problem with Media Temple's IP block. My hosting server is physically in France and has a French geo. IP address (OVH).

There is no problem with my test server at home (which is nowhere near set for general production use).

Let me know if there are other tests I can make.

Edit to add: $apitimeout should be $api_timeout, I think (also in the Version check troubleshooting sticky).

$nocurl = false; should be $nocurl = true;

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

Ok so yea typo in my support thread,

$api_timeout

Sorry.

Looks like it worked then failed in the same exact query, so I still suspect timeouts or our host is blocking known spammer hosts, it has been doing this since we switched to mt many months ago.

Thanks hameau!

Try that with a higher timeout than 500 also your no curl true didn't take it should not say curl it should say fopen or something

Host (Media Temple) level blocking is the most likely, imo. The version check used to work for me, but I don't know when it stopped. I get a timeout with or without curl and with a limit of 10 seconds (beyond that, it's no use anyway).

The IP address of my hosting server is 213.186.33.2: you might want to ask Media Temple if they are blocking that IP and, if so, why. It doesn't appear on any of the recognised blacklists (e.g., http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check).

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - ph0t0 - 2014-03-17

Nocurl.. yes, it was fopen..and timeout, I pasted wrong text, sorry. Timeout with/without curl.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

Yeah I'll have chris look into it. See if we can get my to confirm
Or provide policy or logs

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2014-03-17

We might have some luck adding a user agent string in the curl config in case they are not doing straight up ip blocking. If anyone want to offer some webspace on these problematic hosts for me to test i would be glad to.

perhaps we should identify them, since there are about 4 threads on this since november or so, to post a host notice.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - hameau - 2014-03-20

After contacting Media Temple (host of get-simple.info) and telling them that my server IP seemed to be blocked from accessing one of their hosted sites, my Health Checks are working again.

I don't know if they have only removed a filter for my host's IP or if they have lifted restrictions on other IPs, too (I never got a direct reply from them). If you have been having problems, please check the Health Check on your sites again.

If your Health Check is still not working, perhaps you can contact Media Temple, giving your site IP address and telling them that you can't reach get-simple.info.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - pepe - 2014-11-12

Hello, I have the same problem with version 3.3.4 (new installation). Check Fail error appears after hosting instalation. It works in local. When I install a new plugin, `Check Fail´, it disappears. But the fail comes later with a new login. I´m testing GetSimple in a new website. Anyway, thank you, nice CMS.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - pepe - 2014-11-28

Hello again,
Define ('GSNOVERCHECK', true); in gsconfig.php clears Upgrade Check Failed.

Also we solved these... if it can help:
- We solve the problem to move files created by user Apache, in some hostings, when we changed PHP mode into PHP FastCGI.
-We have solved some conflicts of plugin "I18N Gallery" deleting the JQuery in the headears of the Themes.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - alan57m - 2015-03-19

I was having this problem after upgrading GS from 3.3.2 to 3.3.5
My main problem was that ckeditor was going blank and generally not working!
I fixed ckeditor by patching it by installing and activating the GSCkePatch plugin.
After having done this, I noticed that the "Upgrade Check Failed !" message was gone!
Magic?
Hope this helps someone.

RE: error 3.3.0 Upgrade Check Failed ! - shawn_a - 2015-03-19

coincidence, did you try flushing cache first.
