Simon Culshaw Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi Marc, I've updated all the details in the location specified. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 There are issues with communicating with the license server on your server unfortunately. You need to ensure it can communicate with remoteservices.invisionpower.com in order for it to work correctly. If you are unsure how to do this, you would need to contact your hosting company to assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi Marc, Are there a set of IP Addresses associated with that URL or just the URL. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Culshaw Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi Marc, Please can you advise on the nature of the call made to remoteservices.invisionpower.com. Is it an https call on port 443 or is it an API call? I'm in dialogue with my hosting provider and they're not able to find any issues in their logs.

Simon Culshaw Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi Marc, In addition, I can see 403 errors from Cloudfront in the System Logs within Invision Community. I'm assuming Invision use AWS fronted by Cloudfront... Please can you have a look at the logs and let me know your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 API calls are done via HTTPS. So it's still using the same port (443 in this case). I'll let IPS figure out the rest. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Its https. You should be able to tracert to that domain from your server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm completely stuck now, my host has confirmed that the server can see remoteservices.invisionpower.com and there is nothing they can see that would stop it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 At present, it is not connecting to our servers. Unfortunately there is only your hosting company can resolve that issue. There are other issues with your hosting there too, such as the time on your server being incorrect, which can cause problems. Tasks are not running on your cron job. Your tables are running compact rows. Please take a look at Support in your admin CP and address those first of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 OK, I am aware of those issues and will look at them. The server time is perplexing me though because it is correct and synchronised with a time server? The cron job has broken because I upgraded the version of PHP to try and address this problem but I'll resolve it now. I'll make the necessary changes to the MySQL tables.

Marc Stridgen Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Its around 3 hours out at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 OK, Just to be clear, please can you explain the following:- 1) I can see the error within the software "Server time maybe inaccurate" 2) I click on it and it shows "Your server is reporting the current time as 13/10/22 10:33 UTC which seems to be inaccurate. This can cause problems with some services and security functionality. You should contact your hosting provider to ask for this problem to be resolved." 3) The UTC time now (at the time of doing this check is 13/10/22 10:33 UTC) 4) I understand there is a circa 3 hour discrepancy, please can you let me know where I see that 3 hour discrepancy within the Admin Control Panel?

Marc Stridgen Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 There actually doesnt look to be based on what you said there. However there was when I checked it myself here earlier today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi Marc, It may have been updated by my hosting company. Any idea why it still thinks it is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Its probably just not checked again since. Check that again in 24 hours time and see if its happening again then. Also, please do the same with the license refresh. Leave it 24 hours and try again. please dont try it in the meantime, as I feel you may be getting blocked through repeated attempts here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Ok, will wait 24 hours Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Culshaw Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hi, I've logged back in and I note that the server time issue still persists - I realise it's only 23 hours but unfortunately I have other commitments for the next couple of hours. I would appreciate your guidance on what I should try next. I've got the hosting company on standby, they beleive the server time is correct though..
