Easy2Install cannot connect to database

    Hi All,

    I'm pretty inexperienced with MorphOS so please be patient with me. I installed Easy2Install but when it launches it says it cannot connect to its database. I can only assume that it means its online package database. I am, of course, connected to the Internet so I can rule that out as an issue.

    I am curious if anyone else is currently experiencing this. Is the backend service that supports this app down? Where can I look to find the status of it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think your date and clock are not set (needed of SSL connection). Work here.

    Hey, thanks for the reply and for creating Easy2Install as well as the previous Chrysalis packs! I'll check the date settings and will report back. For my own edification, what does a DB lookup typically look like? I'm sure I an find it for myself, but I love to learn how things work on the backend.

    Unfortunately that does not seem to have solved the issue. This is a fresh MorphOS 3.19 install. The only think I've done with it so far is set up Wayfarer and the clock.

    I did some debugging. As you said, it is a TLS issue, but I am not sure what yet. When I point Wayfarer at the IP that Easy2Install attempts to connect to at https://217.160.0.114/ (found it via tcpdump on my router)

    I get:

    SSL Error loading 217.160.0.114
    35: SSL connect error

    But all other websites load fine. When trying to connect to https://217.160.0.114/ via curl from a more modern machine and telling it not to verify the TLS authenticity, this happens.

    Code:
    curl -ILkv https://217.160.0.114
    * Trying 217.160.0.114:443...
    * ALPN: curl offers h2,http/1.1
    * TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
    * TLSv1.3 (IN), TLS alert, internal error (592):
    * TLS connect error: error:0A000438:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert internal error
    * closing connection #0
    curl: (35) TLS connect error: error:0A000438:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert internal error


    So the data would indicate that there is a TLS issues server side.
