Upgrade Network Error : Error message: cURL error 56: Failure when receiving dat

  • Hello,

    I’m trying to update my multi-site instance to v4.7 ( Vaughan ). The upgrade now button seems to have worked, but the Upgrade Network function threw this error :

    Warning! Problem updating https://myselfhostedsite.com/oneofmysites/ . Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: cURL error 56: Failure when receiving data from the peer

    Running PHP Version 5.4.40, curl 7.19.7 is installed, on RedHat Linux

    There are various network and firewall rules on my server that might be causing this. From command line, I discovered I cannot > curl https://myselfhostedsite.com/oneofmysites/ ( I get the same error from curl )

    Is there another way to run the database update? Like using command-line > php update.php ?

    Is there any harm in running the site in this state while I try to figure out how to fix the problem ?

    Thanks

  • I just upgraded to 4.7 and I’m having a similar issue except mine is…
    Error message: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to wordpress.example.com port 443: Connection refused

    My wordpress instance is running on port 80 behind a load balancer where I do SSL termination. So everything thinks it’s running on port 443.

    I have a very similar problem here. same error message, different error number

    Warning! Problem updating https://subsite.com. Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: subsite.com

    I’m guessing that WordPress updates in a dev environment might be a bit of a problem.

    Without the database update, I find it almost impossible to move forward with any other plugins being network activated.
