Package server broken

[Arantor]

Trying to use the site package server feature told me to follow a URL instead... which I did.

https://custom.simplemachines.org/packages/mods/index.php - gives me a database error message.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Interesting. Haven't seen that one before.

A bug needing fixed?

[Arantor]

I went to admin, to packages, and used the browse feature there to go find packages to install.

This is off a 2.1.2 install - it told me to follow the link I linked which generates a database error.

[Steve]

Odd because the link shown in mine is https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/ which works.

Edit: Oh wait, you're saying 2.1.2?

[Arantor]

Yes, 2.1.2. I literally just followed the link in the admin, and it said it couldn't access the package server and gave me the URL I posted above.

Note that the link that would be followed by the package server is NOT the same as what you'd visit normally for the mod site. Package servers behave a little differently.

Is that the current github download?

I'm seeing this on all 2.x.  I will go ahead & log issues for 2.0 & 2.1.  I suspect it's SMF, not the server.

2.1: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/issues/7447
2.0: #261

Getting the DB error after following the url in the error message, would suggest there's an issue with the server or the cust site though.

[shawnb61]

Yep.  Also that it's universal... 

I wasn't sure the urls looked correct, tho, so I logged 'em.  Can always close if needed.

Something seems to be fixed now. When I click the link Arantor posted I get a bunch of XML instead of a database error

[Arantor]

And the browse packages feature works now
