MyBB Community Forums

I recently checked if i had any missing files and these came up, i have no idea what kind of files this is, any ideas?

Same reason as here: http://community.mybb.com/thread-150855.html

It can't access MyBB server to get file checksums and it results in this weird output.

Okey, i'm glad that you explained this to me as i could not find anything about this anywhere.

Thank you tho

But i've waited a couple of hours, how long do i need to wait it out?

It's an issue with our setup. Our new website is static and isn't behind CloudFlare but until then...

Edit: ./admin/modules/tools/file_verification.php

Replace:

$file = explode("\n", fetch_remote_file("http://www.mybb.com/checksums/release_mybb_{$mybb->version_code}.txt"));

With:

$file = explode("\n", fetch_remote_file("https://raw2.github.com/mybb/mybb-com/gh-pages/checksums/release_mybb_{$mybb->version_code}.txt"));

Then save and upload. It will show file_verification.php as changed but apart from that you should see accurate results.

Thank you, the file missing messages is now gone,

But does it also fix the problem with the version check function? As i still have the same issue when it comes to that.

The error message i get:

There was a problem communicating with the version server. Please try again in a few minutes.

It looks like your server IP address may be black listed if both Github and CloudFlare and refusing the connection. You could try contacting your web host and asking them about it.

I was able to visit mybb.com from my control panel, and that's where it orignally check for a newer version right? So that may not be the problem?

I also got a secondary forum powered by MyBB and it's hosted on the same host, and i have no problem with that board.

EDIT: After i while, i was able to check for the latest MyBB version, i have no idea why it took so long before i could,

Anyhow, @Nathan

Am i the only one that had this problem?
