Magento Connect Manager throws 403 Forbidden

How do I get past this 403?

has anybody gotten magento connect manager to work with dockerized-magento? if so can you please tell me how - thanks

[sanvisimo]

I use this repository to build my magento docker container and it works. You can find it in my repository: https://github.com/sanvisimo/magento

[timrsfo]

@sanvisimo when you say it works, have you done System > Magento Connect > Magento Connect Manager ? I have been using this dockerized-magento for a couple of months, only the demo site. I am able to do a lot of things with it, including RestFul API, oauth ... just fine. This is the first thing I am having trouble with.

[sanvisimo]

yes. and installed somes modules too. It's a permission problem with nginx, but I used the official php-apache image. I know that must fix permission on nginx config file, I tried to do it, but I never used nginx so I skip to apache.

[timrsfo]

@sanvisimo thanks, just to be clear you got a version of dockerized-matgento to work but not this version. you had the same / similar permission problems I am having and decided to swap out nginx for apache. it seems strange that @andreaskoch wouldn't have run into this problem. i opened up this issue Magento Connect Manager not working with dockerized-magento

[andreaskoch]

Hi @timrsfo, I get the same error when trying to open the Magento Connect Manager.

The reason for the error is simply that I disabled that route in the Nginx config (see: config/nginx/sites-enabled/default.conf#L31):

server {
    ...

    location ^~ /downloader/  { deny all; }
    ...

}

Because I never used the Connect Manager to install extensions I never thought about it that some people might want to use it.

Give me a few minutes and I will allow accessing the /downloader route in the Nginx config.

[andreaskoch]

Hi @timrsfo, the Magento Connect Manger should be accessible now:

If it still does not work for you feel free to re-open this issue.

Thanks for raising this issue.

Greetings Andy

@andreaskoch , thanks that did it! I tried allowing a specific IP, but that wasn't quite right. location ^~ /downloader/ { allow 172.17.0.1; deny all; } , also see: Configuring nginx for Magento 1.x

[andreaskoch]

Yeah, IP restrictions and docker are a tricky thing. You never can be sure which IP reaches the web server :-)
