Community Management Pack Catalog - Unable to resolve the index location

When selecting the Discover Community Packs, I receive the following error.

Log Name: Operations Manager

Source: Community MP Catalog

Event ID: 501:

Event Description: Unable to resolve the index location from http://www.mpcatalog.net/CatalogRepo

Our Security team has responded with the following response. Is it possible to reconfigure to go directly to the GitHub?

“Your SCOM management product is directed to “http://mpcatalog.net/catalogrepo” then get redirected to “raw.githubusercontent.com”. Github is not a problem to unblocked, as we already allow most of that content, but we need approval to unblock mpcatalog.net domain as it is a parked domain”

This issue has been added to GitHub and can be viewed and tracked at: https://github.com/MPCatalog/scom-community-catalog-ui/issues/7

Hello Sarah,

 

http://www.mpcatalog.net has been updated and is no longer a parked domain, does this help your configuration? The issue in GitHub to create a direct URL setting is still open, if the above updates to mpcatalog.net do not work in your environment please let me know, and I will continue to focus on the GitHub issue.

 

Thanks for your feedback,

Nathan

How can we download a new version w/out re-registering for the download?

Hi Sarah - Can you raise an issue on the github project for this? We can only make suggestions here!

I am having a similar issue. Our Websense is blocking it since it is a new domain. Github is open, but not to mpcatalog.net. I am trying to get an allowance as it is only for my dev lab, but some push to fix the URL to use Github would be great.

I appreciate the feedback, I’ll focus on that. You can place notes and track activity on the GitHub issue: https://github.com/MPCatalog/scom-community-catalog-ui/issues/7

Fairly sure it appears as an installed community management pack and you can update it through the Admin > Management Packs (Community) > Installed Community Packs. It’ll show as having an update :slight_smile:
