blank response from the provider

While in the package manager attempting to download packages I get several "An error occurred while connecting to the Provider: MODx received a blank response from the provider. Please double check your service URL and make sure the provider is a valid provider."

Firing up my FTP app reveals that the package was uploaded to my core/packages directory and unpacked and yet it’s not listed in the packages in the PM.

So far RC2 is super slow in my browser. I don’t have any add-ons. By comparison RC1 actually let me get things done. WHat am I doing wrong?

First off, from this post in this forum: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,40188.0.html

3. If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server), is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, and any other environment data we should know.

It’s going to be hard to help you without that information.

Secondly, for Package Management - do you have cURL installed? You’ll need it to use Package Management.

And for slowness; this could be a lot of things - an improper server config, a failing opcode cache setup on your server, using an older browser (since you haven’t stated what browser you’re using), an improper PDO setup. Hard to say without more info from you.

Sorry Shaun, I thought I had my setup listed in my sig. I’ll correct that shortly. Thanks you for pointing it out.

MySQL: 5.0.45
PHP: 5.2.6
Linux 2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise #1
cURL enabled
PDO enabled
FFox Apple 3.6.3

The Configure Command I don’t understand where it reads:
’--disable-pdo’ ’--disable-xmlreader’ ’--disable-xmlwriter’ ’--disable-json’
because further down the php(info)it reads:

PDO
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers mysql, odbc, sqlite

pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version 5.0.45

PDO_ODBC
PDO Driver for ODBC (unixODBC) enabled
ODBC Connection Pooling Enabled, strict matching

pdo_sqlite
PDO Driver for SQLite 3.x enabled
PECL Module version 1.0.1 $Id: pdo_sqlite.c,v 1.10.2.6.2.3 2007/12/31 07:20:10 sebastian Exp $
SQLite Library 3.3.6

It seems contradictory, but don’t explain it to me unless it’s part of the solution.

Thank you,
Peter

Is json appearing in your phpinfo despite the disable-json configure command as well?

Yes it is:
json
json support enabled
json version 1.2.1

I have access to all of the ini files, so if I need to edit anything please let me know.

Was this problem with the blank response fixed somehow? I have the same problem now. I had installed some packages (codemirror, googlesitemap, simplesearch, wayfinder) but when I tried to install tinymce I got this errormessage and since then I can not install anything new.

Browser: FF 7.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista

Server setup:
Debian 5.0 Lenny
MySQL 5.0.51a
PHP 5.2.6 with Suhosin Patch 0.9.6.2

MODX Revolution 2.1.3-pl (traditional)
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version 5.0.51a
cURL support enabled
cURL Information libcurl/7.18.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.8 libssh2/0.18

Any other Information needed? [ed. note: jhohn last edited this post 14 years, 11 months ago.]

Do you have safe_mode OR open_basedir restrictions enabled in your PHP ini?

safe_mode is set to Off
open_basedir is not set at all

I receive the same message
