FOP2 Activation

Registration servers are up. You need internet (web) access in order to register fop2. Can you ping www.fop2.com ?

Best regards,

Hi Nicolás,

Yes i can ping www.fop2.com.

However, still got the same error when trying to activate FOP2.

This is a new build/restore of a server.

I managed to activate another server 1 week ago, but this one server is having issues.

Regards,

nicolas

Well, your server cannot access our registration servers via web. Maybe you can ping but you are behind a proxy or something like that for web access? It is hard to tell from here, what happens if you try:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.fop2.com

What do you see on screen?

I have the same issue: Could not contact registration server, please try again later. at /loader/0x2fd9710/FOP2/License.pm line 631, <> line 1.

I can ping your fop2.com domain

How to solve the problem?

maxx

Additionally, I inform you that the version was upgraded according to the instructions.
sudo wget -O - http://download.fop2.com/upgrade_fop2.sh | bash
The result is the same.
Will this problem be addressed?

I have the same problem. I have tried to activate a purchased plugin many times with upgrade command but the below msg was shown:
Could not contact registration servers.
meanwhile the ping www.fop2.com is replying and wget www.fop2.com is working well!
Is there anyway to solve it?

alizahedi

I was finally able to find a solution to this problem. I have an old server that worked correctly on the above commands and connected to the registrar server without an error message. So I removed a file fop2_server from path /usr/local/fop2/ and replaced it on my new server, which had a problem. I took a test, everything worked fine and correctly, and I managed to register my license code. Of course, I suggest that you back up the fop2_server file before copying and replacing it.
I also suggest you have the latest FOP2 version on the backup server.
hope of success.

Hello,
the best alternative to avoid getting the fop2_server file moved and replaced and backed up is to try this command:
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --upgrade --rp=http
try that out before trying the fix alizahedi sent (thanks for his message!)
Best Regards

version: 2.31.28
Trying to re-activate lic, failed with the "Could not contact registration server"
Using the trick @agudino helped me to get finally get passed this problem... Thank you!!!
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --upgrade --rp=http
