Hi

My web site has been successfully importing from a Google calendar for several years and now all of a sudden it is failing with the above error message. I keep the JEvents component up to date and nothing has changed in the Google calendar. Any suggestions please?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

Please can you provide the link to where it is coming from?

Is it possible your host has done some server updates?

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Mike,

I just tried and had no errors pulling in that URL into my localhost site.

I suspect your host may have made some changes recently. Can you access Shell on your server?

Many thanks
Tony

How odd.

I have limited access to the server via a Plesk control panel.

Hi Mike,

Can you ask your host why it maybe failing? Ask them to check if the server can access that link via curl and wget?

It's usually an outbound block to cause the error. Or the https isn't being validated which the server check will confirm.

Thanks
Tony

OK, my web host reports that all tests have passed, and that they can access the link from another server and a localhost. I can also access it from my localhost. They think there's a problem with the link.

Oddly enough, although I still get the error message, our Forthcoming Events module has now been updated ...

Hi Mike,

How often have you set the cron job to update the link?

Many thanks
Tony

Its possible there was a temporary problem at Google - I had another user reporting a problem a couple of days ago and a few hours later the URL was working again.

Hi Geraint

Well I still get the error message on my live site back end, but not on my localhost.

However the Latest Events module appears to have picked up recent changes in the Google calendar so I shall stop worrying about it for now.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Mike,

It is very possible Google at having hit limits or glitches. As all we do is fetch the URL and from use calling the URL there are many different variables that could cause the issue.

Glad it is updating intermittently though!

Many thanks
Tony

Hello,

I've got the same problem here, It used to update using a cron job, but stopped working. Updated the Jevents to the latest version. The ical-links are correct (I can download them, they look fine), and ical output of Outlook Calendar is working on my installation.

Many thanks,

Stefan

EDIT: cron job stopped working, but it's not a cron job problem since manual updating doesn't work either

Just to confirm I'm still getting the same error message when I do a manual update.

If you access the ics URL in a web browser straight after you see the error message from a manual update what do you get?

For example this file (zipped it because I was not allowed to upload a file with the .ics extension). Thanks for your quick response Geraint!

EDIT: added smaller file with less events. Maybe easier to find the problem? [attachment=0:2xey35r9]<!-- ia0 -->basic (5).rar<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2xey35r9]
I think there is a problem due to repeating events, but I'm not really sure about that.

I had no problems importing either of these files but to test it properly from Google I will need the google URL. If the events are private you can send the URL via PM.

They imported fine to my server

Is this your desktop development machine? The version of PHP, MySQL and Linux are very old (all 3 years old) - I wonder if this could be part of your problem?

Thank you. I will check it with my hoster. It's not a development machine, but a hosting service for Scouting groups.
