Installation Failed

This sounds like a server setup issue.

Have you discussed with your hosting provider?

We are the provider. What should I look for? It was working fine before.

I am still looking for help on this.

To be honest, that isn’t enough information about your environment to make a guess as to what the issue might be.

If you have some time, look through these discussions (link goes to Google, but all of the discussions are from here in the forums) and see if you can find one with similarities to your situation that might help point you in the right direction.

site:www.ads-software.com There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request.

What information would you like? I have searched for this issue and everything I find seems to talk about needing to enable curl or using WinAmp. I have curl enabled and am not using WinAmp.

It’s a server issue, not a WordPress issue, so if we hit a solution quick with just the basics, it will be a lucky bonus.

A) What version of what operating system are you using on your server?

B) If you installed your entire server environment from a prepackaged installer, (WampServer, AMPPS, MAMP, XAMPP, etc..) please tell us which one you used

C) Is this a local installation where the server is under your complete control, or are you using a remote server provided by a hosting service?

A) Windows Server 2008
B) No
C) Local under complete control

Create a phpinfo file and drop it in a web accessible directory. You can gather a lot of information from the output.

This plugin will help with visualization of information relative to what might be going on with the transports. Core Control

Install it in your plugins directory and activate it. See the plugin documentation on the range of information available and how to access/interpret it. Despite the “hasn’t been updated warning” on that page, I still use it frequently. It was written by a WordPress Core developer for just such diagnostic purposes. The “External HTTP Access” module will probably be your first area of inspection.

You’ll need to start with diagnosing your server applications configurations to determine why one or all of the transports isn’t working properly. Once you can confirm that all of those are actually function properly, and are current and secure versions, you can probably quickly put a finger on why you’re getting the error message.

Good luck to you!

[edit] almost forgot.. make sure you have SSL support enable.

Thanks for this plugin. It helps a lot. It says that cURL is not available. The php.ini that is listed as the Loaded Configuration File in the phpinfo file has the curl dll uncommented out. I also have the files libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll in the proper location. Is there something else that I am missing?

My guess would be that the php_curl.dll extension isn’t really being loaded or that your windows environment variables don’t include the path.

Also check to see that the path in php.ini to the extension directory is correct.
