Update check fails, digging into why
There was a problem connecting to the Textpattern update server. Please try again later.
I’m getting this on every 4.7.3 -> 4.8.0 update this morning, the common factor being it was me who built the servers…so let’s assume I’m doing something wrong. I’ve checked back every two hours (outside the 1 hour check window), same thing.
The URL is textpattern.com/version.json (which is also on a server which I built, the irony is not lost on me). It is live, it is serving traffic to numerous hosts, there is no rate-limiting, the Textpattern server end appears OK.
I can curl it:
$ curl "https://textpattern.com/version.json"
{
"textpattern-version": {
"release": "4.8.0",
"prerelease": null
}
}Perhaps there’s a snag with the PHP side of things. I have allow_url_fopen enabled. JSON support is enabled.
I have the luxury of being able to poke and prod the server, so is there anything I can try at a PHP or Textpattern level that would explain why this error has started occurring? I can assign some time to this, and I’m happy to report back, and I can spec out a doc if there are useful findings.
