Problem trying to connect to RPC server
Hi all
Upgraded to 4.5.5 yesterday and in the diagnostics got the pre-flight check warning: There is a problem trying to connect to the RPC server. Please, try again later.
I left it hoping it would go away but it’s still there. Any help gratefully received.

Re: Problem trying to connect to RPC server
Hi David – is your hosting provider preventing RPC and/or outbound connections from your server? I ask because this happened recently – it may be worth checking with your hosting provider.

Re: Problem trying to connect to RPC server
Well the problem has now gone but I’m not sure why. I couldn’t see any denied outgoing connections on the server, but deactivated it anyway.
Under ModSecurity there was this ‘detected attack’:
2014-01-28 01:47:51.128602 ModSecurity: 62.201.220.200 Access denied with code 412 (phase 2). Pattern match “^-[abcdnrsw]” at QUERY_STRING. [file “/services/mod_security-rules/99_asl_jitp.conf”] [line “71”] [id “378491”] [rev “6”] [msg “Atomicorp.com WAF Rules – Virtual Just In Time Patch: Possible Attempt to Exploit PHP CGI command injection vulnerablity”] [severity “CRITICAL”] [uri “ [hostname “www.mydomain.com”]”]/
Maybe no connection. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks
