Unable to connect to Moodle download server.

It seems like my Moodle site has been disconnected from Moodle download server.

I get this message when I try to Check for Available Updates:

"Unable to fetch available updates data - unexpected HTTP response code."

I get this message when I try to update the language pack:

"Unable to connect to the download server. It is not possible to install or update the language packs automatically. Please download the appropriate ZIP file(s) from https://download.moodle.org/langpack/3.3/ and unzip them manually to your data directory"

And when I tried installing/updating a plugin (such as Coupon) from Moodle.org:

"There is a request to install plugin Coupon (block_coupon) version 2017092500 from the Moodle plugins directory on this site. However, the plugin installation pre-check failed (reason code: remoteunavailable)."

Any suggestions, please?

I'm using Moodle 3.3.2+, PHP 5.6

Is your Moodle site on a Microsoft Windows server? If so you may need to update your certificate bundle.

Hi Leon,

Thanks for your suggestion. My Moodle site is working fine now.
