No connection to repository. Runway could not be installed as there was no connection to: 'http://packages.umbraco.org'
Sorry I am posting this again over here, because I am not getting much help from the previous post.
I am installing umbraco v 4.0.2.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.3441.17657). Everything is OK except that I cannot install the runway package.
I am getting this error every time I try to install the runway package:
No connection to repository. Runway could not be installed as there was no connection to: 'http://packages.umbraco.org'
I have installed Umbraco and Runway Modules several times in the pas(about 5 months ago) and I never faced this error.
I have proper connection to the Internet. I can see the Package Repository from within the Developer Section, and I can download any other package properly. I do not have a proxy as I am connecting to the Internet from Home (not from work).
Only for Runaway you are forced to install it from within the Development Section / Install Runway option.
The manual download / install for the other packages work fine from Umbraco back-office.
This is to post a correction to the problem reported above.
As a matter of fact, I found out that the package repository website will show under Umbraco back-office UI. But, if I try to install say CWS it will give me same error I reported above.
If I go to the website directly and try to download the CWS, it will work.
Also, I would like to mention the following facts:
1. Installed Umbraco under Windows XP.
2. Used Microsoft Platform Installer to install Umbraco.
3. Using IE 8 to work with Umbraco.
4. I had installed Umbraco previous version before using UltiDev Cassini Web Server about 5 months ago on the same laptop. At that time I installed part of Runway modules. Now, I tried to complete the installation of Runway modules under Cassini server, it is working successfully. Also, I did a patch upgrade for Umbraco under Cassini to the latest version. It is working fine under Cassini. But on same Laptop, it is not working under IE 8 for same Umbraco version.
On the same Laptop, same folder where Umbraco is installed, same Database, if I access Umbraco Back-Office from Cassini Web Server to install the Runway Modules, it will work successfully. Only from IIS it is not working.
I have removed IIS 5.1 and reinstalled it, still same problem.
I think this is because the impersonated account used to connect to the package repository is not allowed to perform this connection.
What is the user ID or account used to connect to Umbraco Package Repository from within Umbraco Back-Office to install the Runway Modules ?
The laptop I am using is a Work Laptop, and seems that there is a policy some kind preventing non-domain users to connect to the Internet.
Well, it seems that I got this habit of facing a problem, and finding a resolution it after some time.
I found the resolution to the problem reported above.
So, if you Install umbraco v 4.0.2.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.3441.17657) under IIS 5.1 + Windows XP, and cannot install Runway Module or any other package from Umbraco Back-Office, then, do the following to resolve the error:
Add the following lines to web.config under system.net section of Umbraco installation:
I am facing the same problem reported above, but on a PC inside a Training Room. I want to install the Runway package manually, can you help me please ?
Is getting a backup of the working version an option? With mysql you can dump the database and Sql Server has simular options. Then you could get a copy of the umbraco directory and hook everything up on a different computer. If you change the database user you might have to adjust the connection string in the database tho.
The problem is solved. It seems the PC is behined ISA Server Proxy/Firewall (in a Training Center), and after setting unrestricted Internet access for IP of the PC, the Runway Module could be installed as usual.
Thanks Pickels, your solution should work. But I will miss the point I want to show to the trainees which is "Installing Runway". But, I would have used your solution if I was unable to solve the problem.
I think we need an option to install Runway Manually.

But, can some one tell me why this works ?
