Please download the Contao check. It will tell you if there's something missing on your server.

You cannot use the Extension Repository. More information …
You cannot use the Live Update. More information …
You do not need the Safe Mode Hack. More information …
It looks like your server doesn't allow a connection to contao.org - maybe a firewall setting. Contact your server administrator, maybe he/she's able to help you with that.
SOAP needs to get access to *.contao.org if you want to use the extension repository. If you want to use the live update, you'll also need access to *.inetrobots.com.
Sorry, but if I were a server administrator, I would say this is impossible.Quote:

Second, the meaning of * is ambiguous in this context. Yes, there is a wildcard entry for inetrobots.com, but not for contao.org
But maybe you meant the firewall should allow communication to every name that exists in the domain? But how should one tell what names exists? If I got my command line right, I would say your dns server does not allow zone transfers, and this is a good thing.Code:$ host *.inetrobots.com
*.inetrobots.com has address 89.107.187.60
$ host *.contao.org
Host *.contao.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Code:$ dig @anycast.regdns1.de. contao.org axfr
; <<>> DiG 9.7.6-P1 <<>> @anycast.regdns1.de. contao.org axfr
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: +cmd
; Transfer failed.
Anyways, there is another issue with the firewalls
let's assume that access is only necessary to
www.contao.org
contao.org
www.inetrobots.org
Now begins another kind of pain because the entries are frequently changing. Also note that www.contao.org and contao.org are not necessarily resolving to the same IP. Since then the IPs are changing 2 weekly, approximately. One needs a good monitoring for this, but even then, every change of the IP is resulting in a short time where connection is not possible (until firewall is changed).
This frequently change of the IPs are *very* unfriendly to firewall administrators.
To assist server administrators, you would have to tell them all possible IP Ranges.

I am having this same problem, but no errors on the contao check page... any ideas?
