Version check API down/broken?

English forums
1

hi,

when accessing e.g. http://admin.oxid-esales.com/CE/onlinecheck.php?getlatestversion

There’s a 500 server error with no useful output returned. I had a script which posted to onlinecheck.php via curl (like oxid also does) and until last week or the week before that I got the latest oxid community version back. Now there’s just a 500 server error.

I searched the forums and web but didn’t find anything related to that. Did something change recently regarding the API?

Hi,

no API changes, just a simple typo. I fixed it and all is back and running again. Whatever you’re doing with this script… :slight_smile:

Thanks for the hint anyways!

thx!

Nothing nasty :slight_smile: It’s just built into our interface to check the latest versions of different blog / cms / ecommerce software. It’s running once per week via cronjob or if people click on it, which is not very often :wink:

hi,

I’m getting a “404 Not Found” now. Is this just temporary or has the script been moved?

Hi,

been moved apparently #argh. We definitely need a fixed URL for this kind of downloads, will work on it with the new OXIDforge concept.

Cheers

This url is used in Shopadmin for “Check for available updates regularly” in all versions, which doesn’t work anymore now, so maybe this should be treated seperately.
