Magento Connect v2.0 “Connection Error, try again later”

Posted on: 31st May 2011 By: Robert Kent 6 Comments

Just a really quick one today – for those of you who are struggling to install a Magento extension through Magento Connect 2.0 and getting the “Connection Error, try again later” error – there’s a small trick you can try.

When installing an extension from Magento Connect with the URL http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/example/EXAMPLE if you are finding that the error persists one small thing you can try is to remove the http:// from the beginning of the url.

This worked a treat for me on a previous installation of Magento – I’m pretty sure it only affects 1.5.0.1 but if you are experiencing the same error – give it a try – easy fix for some. If this doesn’t work then there are a few alternatives on the Magento Forums.

Thanks for visiting the Magento Blog here at e-commerce web design, home of the Magento Fox.

    I was getting “Connection Error, try again later” through Magento Connect 2.0.

    Removing http:// worked for me. I am using CE 1.5.1.0

    Thank you.
