Can't update language files, temporary issue?

[m4z]

Not sure if this belongs here or into Bug Reports as it might be a 2.0.16 issue:

I've been trying a few times in the last hour or two, and when searching for a language to re-add (IOW the exotic SMF way of updating an installed language), i keep getting "The Simple Machines site is not responding. Please try again later."

[m4z]

I've tried 20-30 times over the last 90 minutes, still no luck. Hitting the search button immediately shows the error.

do you see any errors in your error log?

[m4z]

No, zero, nothing whatsoever.

[Illori]

what about the server error log?

Attached a GIF of what i'm seeing, webserver (access) log looks fine (error log is empty):

Odd, I'm not seeing that.

Try leaving it blank & pressing search.  You should see everything.

Are you on 2.0.17?

[m4z]

Nope, same error with empty search string. (The only mod installed, btw, is Responsive Curve.)
This is still 2.0.16 as stated in the first post (didn't want to go the easy route and download the package (which I did for .15 -> .16, so problem might have existed there already), forcing myself to use the in-SMF-feature instead).


(Just tested a 2.1 forum on the same host, that works fine for both empty and search-string cases.)

[shawnb61]

Try 2.0.17.

[m4z]

Works again on 2.0.17. So this is expected behavior?

[shawnb61]

Not sure it's expected behavior.  I logged #117 internally.

It has been this way for a while.  You can only download language packs for the current version.

The auto downloader only allows you to download from the current release.  So 2.0.17 was just released you can't download 2.0.16 languages.

[m4z]

Good to know (and to have it documented here). Quite unexpected from a user perspective.

The auto downloader only allows you to download from the current release.  So 2.0.17 was just released you can't download 2.0.16 languages.
