[Solved] Can't Access AUR

After the switch I can no longer access the AUR either from yaourt or from my web browser. I can access the BBS and the Wiki just fine though. I've rebooted my pc several times so old caches or something like that don't seem to be the issue.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

It looks to be a problem with SSL.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

Something in your DNS tree still has a bad cache. The correct addresses are 5.9.250.164 and 2a01:4f8:160:3033::2

Your DNS tree is still resolves 78.46.78.247

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

Yeah, either it's a cache problem or your nameserver is way behind. See the front page news (https://www.archlinux.org/news/bbs-wiki … intenance/), you've got the wrong IP.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

Ok, this is getting more and more confusing. The problem only seems to exist on my PC, running Arch. I rebooted my router and my Chromebook connects to the AUR page just fine. I have a static IP set, and dig aur.archlinux.org returns the new IP, yet whenever I ping or try to connect to the AUR it goes to the old address.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

You can try: add one new line with: "5.9.250.164 aur.archlinux.org" in the file /etc/hosts

That's a workaround, but does nothing to identify and resolve the actual problem.

If the problem is only with Aur page, I believe that's the workaround.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

What are your current DNS servers? (output of /etc/resolv.conf as @fukawi2 suggested). I believe your problem might be strongly related to them.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

I also have the same problem...If i ping aur.archlinux.org it gives me the old ip address.

But adding "5.9.250.164 aur.archlinux.org" in the file /etc/hosts solves the problem.

but even I am not able to figure out what the actual problem is......

btw here are the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 192.168.0.1

also /etc/nsswitch,conf

# Begin /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd: files
group: files
shadow: files

publickey: files

hosts: files dns myhostname
networks: files

protocols: files
services: files
ethers: files
rpc: files

netgroup: files

# End /etc/nsswitch.conf

I also many times(almost 99% of the time) get an  error like "could'nt resolve hostname" while using utilities such as curl,wget etc.
in yaourt (which makes yaourt unusable for me) but at same time I can browse any website without any problem on my web-browser.

Can Someone shed a light on this problem.

Also , I am using wifi internet with a seperate router+ seperate dsl modem (PPPoe on Wifi) config.

I know next to nothing about how this all works - but does that entry suggest you are running your own name server?  That is a private/local address.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

I think I have found a solution to this problem. I just changed the DNS servers to Google DNS instead of my ISP's  in my router settings and now it returns the correct ip address of aur.archlinux.org even without the addition of that line in /etc/hosts. So, It's a DNS problem afterall.

This usually means that the computer will use the DNS servers defined by the specified router.

Usually that's just the DNS server on your consumer modem/router. It may or may not have a parent (eg, your ISP) server depending on how the device is configured.

I'd guess your ISP is being un-friendly and ignoring TTL's. Hopefully they will eventually expire their cache and pickup the change. The 3 authoritative servers for archlinux.org are all handing out the correct addresses:

~ $ dig aur.archlinux.org +short @NS1.FIRST-NS.DE
5.9.250.164
~ $ dig aur.archlinux.org +short @ROBOTNS2.SECOND-NS.DE
5.9.250.164
~ $ dig aur.archlinux.org +short @ROBOTNS3.SECOND-NS.COM
5.9.250.164

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

If you want to give a try, change your primary DNS server in your resolv.conf to one of OpenDNS (google to find it). Then restart your connection. But be aware that NetworkManager overwrites /etc/resolv.conf, so you have to make sure you use a method to preserve the new DNS. The Wiki has plenty of info on this.

Re: [Solved] Can't Access AUR

I also had the wrong address in /etc/hosts but removing it did NOT fix the issue.

After removing old address from /etc/hosts pinging aur.archlinux.org correctly gave 5.9.250.164, but until I added
5.9.250.164 aur.archlinux.org
back into /etc/hosts curl wouldn't work.

Could it be related to this issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1369869 ?
