browse themes here while logged in to concrete5.org.

save some for later.

now connect your site to concrete5.org with the add functionality pane, the themes you saved for later should show up on the right.

They just never appear available on the server itself - even after we connect our site with concrete5.org

Is there a way to see what I've saved on concrete5.org?

goto your profile (upper right green link)

view your downloads page.

sometimes if you are already connected to the marketplace through your site, and you then go save stuff for later, it won't show up in the list unless you logout and relogin (on the add functionality page that is)

But my installation still does not connect to the marketplace - even after logging out.

Are there any special firewall rules or does all traffic go over port 80?

Is there anyway to confirm from concrete5.org that my server is attempting to connect?

oh yer saying it can't connect to the marketplace at all? That's odd.. what messages do you get? are you sure you're using the right credentials?

install goes fine save for this...

login from the webserver to the marketplace looks like it succeeds.

We never see anything we've saved at the marketplace.

You don't connect via themes and pages.

Go to Add functionality and you will see where you can connect to the marketplace.

we've been doing that....we just never see any of the saved items on our concrete5.org available on the server.

have i misunderstood how this works?

interested in what your site tells you when you try to connect to the marketplace. that's done from add functionality.

no you understand how it works correctly..

here's lets try this way.

make a demo account athttp://getconcrete5.com/demo

try to connect to the concrete5.org site through it. if that doesn't work, you're missing something somewhere. if that does work, somethings goofy with your server setup.

must be permission on our server. I'm assuming all this happens over port 80 correct?

It is nice to see how well it works though ;)

Are there any additional debug settings....there are no connection failures in the logs at all.

If you're on a linux server try:
wgethttp://www.concrete5.org
I'd bet its a dns or network issue. It's unlikely that your server is fire-walled against outbound http requests.

The marketplace log-in and data requests are strait up http:80.

Another thing to check is that json & simplexml are enabled in your php install. If you're not sure about that post a link to a phpinfo file and I'll check it out.

I'm able to login to the marketplace...still no downloads though.

those these are nat'd boxen if that makes any difference.

wget works fine.

After much time troubleshooting checking & rechecking the system requirements, I did the following:

Centos5:
yum install php* -y
service httpd restart

Downloads from MarketPlace account showed up like rain.

I attempted using simplescripts as well, but it failed to with the great and descriptive:
"your system fails to meet the requirements"

At any rate, all is well now. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
This is kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun. You've installed the entire php lib.

Does anyone now WHICH php lib is responsible for MArketplace not working?

I've installed several copies lately on several servers, all CentOS 5. Some worked without issues, others no joy. Hoping to use this in production soon, hoping lack of support isn't the killer for this app...

well it works if Curl is installed and not if it isnt. There's probably plenty of other server config issues that can cause something as complex as one click install to not work.

in regards to support. I see plenty of posts from Ryan above who is on payroll. I'm not sure how much free installation support any open source app offers but I doubt you're going to get much better than us.

I'm sorry if that post was irritating, i'm new to the concrete5 framework, and was frustrated with bug. I just saw a post that was weeks unanswered, but I understand the lag.

I've tested my Curl and it works, but still the can't connect message on themes page, and nothing new to install on functionality page. I'll just download and install manually for now.

We just try pretty hard so its never good when we hear people feeling lost.

I dunno, this auto-install stuff certainly requires servers to be tweaked just so it seems...

Agreed Kstrange,

I really didn't have to time to sort out which php lib provided the fix. There really wasn't any answer in the docs either.

Hm, I now have a similar problem; I've installed and go to add a new skin. When I try to access the marketplace via Add Functionality, I get this:

"Unable to connect to the marketplace."

I'm more design and less tech, but do I have to adjust something on the server? Permissions or something? Please help!

post a link to your server's info

How do I do that?

Easy way would be a screen shot of it and post it on you server.
