Can#t connect from my friendica site

Hey @regenpfeifer

it is needed to have the author page enabled, but yours seem to redirect: https://regenpfeifer.eu/author/regenpfeifer

Cheers.

Thank you, @pfefferle ,

I have now deactivated the redirection and the author page seems to work:
https://regenpfeifer.eu/author/regenpfeifer/

Nevertheless I am getting an error messsage, if I try to add my WordPress profile “[email protected]” in Friendica (in german): “Der Netzwerktyp wurde nicht erkannt. Der Kontakt kann nicht hinzugefügt werden.”

The URL I get when I try to add the profile is:
https://friends.regenpfeifer.net/follow?url=regenpeifer%40regenpfeifer.eu

I can add other contacts / profiles via ActivityPub in my Friendica-instance without problems.

If I add the profile via the URL https://regenpfeifer.eu/author/regenpfeifer/, I am again ending up at an ATOM/RSS-connection.

It seems, that your blog does not recognice “Accept” header.

This request:

curl "https://regenpfeifer.eu/author/regenpfeifer/" \
     -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'

should return JSON, but it returns the HTML source of your post.

Thank you, @pfefferle, what can I do to change this?

My apache server is configured to run with HTTP/2, could this be the cause?

For “POST” it seems to work:

curl -X "POST" "https://regenpfeifer.eu/author/regenpfeifer/" \
     -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'

This is weird! Are you aware of any restrictions on your hosting?

@regenpfeifer no, I also use HTTP/2 on my server. I will think about it.

@pfefferle, thank you very much for your support!

I can’t think of any restrictions of my hosting. My site is hosted at an own server, running Debian 10 Buster, Apache 2.4 with PHP 7.4 / php-fpm and mpm_event.

My VHost file doesn’t have any special restrictions, too. I have deactivated Content-Security for the moment; “Referrer-Policy” and “Access-Control-Allow-Origin” (“*”) are set.

In a former installation of my site (I have changed the server recently) ActivityPub worked fine…

Can you send me a profile URL of the friendica instance?

Have you installed any security plugins, that might block this request/header?

This is my own profile at my friendica instance:
https://friends.regenpfeifer.net/profile/regenpfeifer/profile

I am not aware of any security plugin. I will check the security options of Jetpack, maybe some setting there is preventing the request.

There it works:

curl "https://friends.regenpfeifer.net/profile/regenpfeifer/profile" \
     -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'

Any differences in the config? can you try to temporary disable the other plugins?

Hello @pfefferle,

now I managed to get it working. The reason for the problems was a Jetpack setting which is meant to block brute-force-attacks. I have set the IP-address of my friendica site as allowed – and now everything seems fine!

Thank you again for your support!

Oh, nice that it was so “easy” in the end ??

Same issue here…. @tiotrom@tiotrom.com not working with my https://venera.social/ Friendica instance that I use. I deactivated any plugins that may block any IP addresses….so I am confused as to how to make it work. Any help please?

Same issue again for me. It seems, that it was not Jetpack, which blocked my Activity Pub connection. Maybe it could be Cloudflare CDN? I am experiencing the problem with two websites, both of them are connected via Cloudflare.
