Hi,

I have the exact same issue. Running Centos 6 Nginx setup. (installed via the guide without any problem)
The files are downloaded with to folder /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/sites/aps_meta_packages.
They are zipped but contain nothing more then PKG_URL.
I used the patch but it still stops the script before adding the values to the database.
Database: dbispconfig - Table: aps_packages is still completely empty.
The nginx log shows the following which I think is related.

Code:

2015/03/21 23:54:21 [error] 9651#0: *95 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning:  SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): Entity: line 1: parser error : StartTag: invalid element name in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/classes/aps_crawler.inc.php on line 288

The system log set to debug show

Code:

[INTERFACE]: APS crawler: Cannot read metadata from LePaySys-1.0-1.app.zip

for each downloaded file, in my case a total of 83.
Been spending several hours on this but I'm unable to solve.

Thank for the great panel. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction to make it even more useful

Regards,

I am having the same issue as RHITNL. Been trying to solve it since yesterday.

 

It's still logging the same error after applying Florian's patch. I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04 so I think the ssl should be fine. Could there be any other causes?

 

Thanks for the reply but both patches has been installed already. Added the extra lines in both files. If the server can not download, where do the files (zip) come from? I would thing even that part will fail.
Since I have ssl enabled as well with a selfsigned certificate I disabled ssl on server site as well to be sure the communication to my server is working.
This is a cloud vps server and the only firewall is in the ispconfig packet and disabled now. I would like to use centos 7 but the tutorial you've written does not work on a vps like mine. The disk setup is different and therefore I can not set quota like it should. RHEL is in my opinion the best webserver you can use and never had any issues with any software so far.
Any other thoughts? Something I can update or replace? My test server at home is also same setup but I will give debian a shot.

 

Having the same issues as RHITNL.

The .zip files aren't really empty, it is shown as a directory and contains a file with the name PKG_URL

When I open the PKG_URL in for example Yourls-1.5-4.app.zip:

Code:

root@hosting aps_meta_packages]# cd Yourls-1.5-4.app.zip/
[root@hosting Yourls-1.5-4.app.zip]# ls
PKG_URL
[root@hosting Yourls-1.5-4.app.zip]# cat PKG_URL
[URL]https://apscatalog.com/1/yourls.org/Yourls/1.5-4.aps?arch=undefined&packager=www.softec-internet.com&os=undefined&platform=undefined[/URL]

 

Ok, but I really don't have a clue where to look now. Already applied the patches to turn off SSL, but without any results.

Running:
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Tried a clean install on CentOS 7 but results in the same issue.

 

ok, thanks in advance!

 

The URL HouseNationNL mentioned inside the PKG, also works on http instead of https.
I know it is less secure but in what file is set the aps-crawler needs to use https?

 

When I curl from the command line using the https url, I get an error: Exit 60, which relates to ssl. I tried using the -k parameter and it works fine. In that case the earlier patch should work as its equivelent to CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER. But it doesn't? I also tried curl with the http address, it worked without specifying any parameters. I noticed that in the aps_crawler.inc.php file, it uses the http address. So I don't see why it doesn't work.

 

Hello, I have the same issue with aps installer, packages won't update, available packages 0. I'm using Debian Wheezy + ISPConfig (setup as here: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-r...and-secondary-with-ispconfig-3-debian-squeeze)

Everything is working excellent, DNS servers and all. APS however not. I have tried everything I found in this forums and elsewehere but to no avail.
Apache err shows this:
------------------------------------------
[Mon Mar 23 15:00:54 2015] [warn] [client 84....] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): ^ in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/classes/aps_crawler.inc.php on line 289, referer: https://o......com:8080/index.php#
-------------------------------------------------------------
...on line 289 is this: $sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

I'm stuck. Please help.

 

Hi,
I came here because my ISPconfig setup hit the same issue today - just tried the change suggested by Till but it doesn't fix it - same error as described above keeps showing up.
Has me slightly stranded there as I was hoping to install an updated package that is now not even listed anymore...
Thanks in advance for any pointers towards a fix.
