Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 104697
Check for updates non functional
Last modified: 2009-09-22 20:48:22 UTC
The auto update check does not work, either on auto update or on manual update between version 3.1.0 and 3.1.1
What are the symptoms of "non functional" and "does not work"?
Apologies for the lack of specificity- it was a simple issue and I had presumed a known one for the mac. Open Office.org > preferences > online update > Check now (with any permutation of the options on the online update options window) > Checking for an update failed.
See also issue 104558. All servers are at a high load. That's why we haven't switched the online update for OOo 3.1 notification active. @ ja: Please keep in mind to activate the online update when the community downloads have "calmed down".
Product update service has already been activated yesterday. Maybe the download infrastructure cannot handle such a load. Please wait a few days and try again
Thanks chaps!
I'm receiving the same error on Windows 7 RC - 64 bit version. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: Checking for an update failed. Description: Could not establish Internet connection to update32.services.openoffice.org. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Further info: I originally discovered this problem after trying to use a spreadsheet that accesses data from the internet. Several other users have run into the problem but the author can not duplicate it. I'm wondering if there's a 64bit problem in the tcp code? The discussion of the problem with the spreadsheet is here: http://dmz-gaming.com/viewtopic.php?id=4479
