Cannot connect to Marketplace

Permalink
I just recently upgraded to version 5.5.2.1. My site is hosted on an external server.

When I go tohttp://www.mydomain.com/index.php/dashboard/extend/install/... I see an error message at the bottom that reads:

"Error establishing connection to the concrete5 community. Please check that curl and other required libraries are enabled."

When I click the "Connect to Community" button, the next page tells me: "Your site is already connected to the concrete5 marketplace."

I think there may be a permission problem with some of php files on my server. To give you some background, there was a problem and I recently had my hosting company do a complete restore. Since then there have been other problems, such as SSL/HTTPS and Captcha not working.

I'm not even able to run an update through the dashboard. Instead I used ftp to upload 5.5.2.1 into the /updates folder and ran the upgrade.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ya, it definitely could be permissions, but it could be a few other things.

First, you should check for cURL and allow_url_fopen - you can find out how to do that in this tutorial:

If that's not the problem, you should ask your hosting company if your server is set up to allow outgoing connections.

Also, here's the info on how your permissions should be set:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/file-directory-...
