The packages repository https://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion-packages is not accessible

Hi, since yesterday I'm getting the following error when trying to install packages on Coldfusion 2021

 

cfpm_audit.log

The packages repository https://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion-packages is not accessible. You can only load the packages that are available locally in the /usr/local/lib/CommandBox/server/serverHome/adobe-2021.0.04.330004/WEB-INF/bundles directory.

I tried to install on my personal computer at home and at company computer.

    Hi All,

     

    We are aware of it and we are working on it. There is a redirection issue with the URL. 

     

    If you want to install the packages, here is the workaround. 

     

    Copy this URL - https://cfmodules.adobe.com/cf2023/bundlesdependency.json in Packages Settings and Submit.

     

    It will directly hit the URL and install the packages.

    We are having the same issues on CF 2021 as well.  We also cannot get the CF server to start up after installing this on Azure App Service.  We've not had issues with previous versions of CF2021, just with CF2021 update 16 and 17.  Once it is installed and we use Kudu to install the packages, we start the app service.  Confirm that the app service is running and then look at any packages not installed.  When we try to "install all" again, it gives us the notice that the ColdFusion service is not running and the packages will be installed once the server is up and running again.

    Charlie,  thank you for your response.

    We've checked all of our URLs and paths and each are set at the default and have been at the default, so that was not the issue.

    For the WAR file, we're currently working through trying to create that through the CF Admin GUI as opposed to the other way we've been creating them, so I will update once we've finished that aspect of it.

    Additional update:

    I've deleted the deployment slot in Azure where I had deployed the update 18 WAR file.  I created a new one and walked through my normal deployment steps and this is what I'm finding today:

    1. After deployment, go into Kudu and drill down to the \web-inf\cfusion\bin folder and running the .\cfpm.bat and then "install all" command
    2. Restart the Azure App Service
    3. After restart, go back into Kudu and drill down to the ...\bin folder and run the .\cfpm.bat and "install all" again.  There are only 5-6 packages that are not installed at this point. (e.g. presentation, sqlserver, azureservicebus, azureblob, awslamda, awsdynamodb).
    4. Restart the Azure App Service again and follow the step 3 again.  

    After each install and restart of the Azure App Service, I'm still receiving the message in the .\cfpm through Kudu that the "ColdFusion server is not running" and the packages will install once the server is up and running.

    What still does not make sense with that message, we are able to access the CF Admin page via the web browser and attach the DB so we can bring our website up.  We are able to access our website and complete most functions minus the ones that require any of the packages that are not installed.  I am going to try to install the remaining packages one at a time by doing the "install (package name)" command instead of the install all then restart and see if that works.  Again - not sure why this is occuring as we did not have this issue prior to update 16 being released.  


    Here's the message that I receive:
    cfpm>install presentation
    presentation (2021.0.14.330296) package and its dependencies have been downloaded successfully.
    The package and its dependencies have been downloaded successfully. ColdFusion server is currently not running. The package will be installed automatically once server is up.

    I just noticed you specified "connection reset" as the error, too. That typically means the client (CF) isn't able to validate the certificate, usually because it or one of the certificates in the validation chain has expired. I'm not sure if CF does anything in that case to fix the problem, but if it can't get there and you can (from the console using wget or curl and a non-root user), that's what I'd look for.

    Normally, this indicates a network error of some sort rather than a CF-specific problem. Can you use wget or curl while logged into the shell (not as root) to go to the packages repository? If not, you or your network administrator may have blocked direct access. Can you see if there's a proxy server being used? CF won't know about that in some cases. In the short term, you can download the packages manually, then point CF to the internal location instead of the default one.

     

    If this just happened immediately after a CF update, look for update-specific issues or bugs. You might be able to do that at the official Adobe bug tracker (https://tracker.adobe.com/). You should tell us if that's the case, too.

    Yeah, that's definitely an error with the Adobe site specifically. It looks like there are two redirects:

     

    https://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion-packages 

    redirects to

    https://cfmodules.adobe.com/cf2023/bundlesdependency.json

     

    https://cfmodules.adobe.com/cf2023/bundlesdependency.json

    redirects to

    https://cfmodules.adobe.com/bundlesdependency.json

     

    I've seen cases where too many redirects will break some user agents. Maybe that's what's happening here.
