FPR server connection refused

[bruth]

When running the make bootstrap-dashboard-db target, there is an external request made to FPR: https://fpr-qa.archivematica.org/fpr/api/v2/ and it appears to be refusing connections.

Full error below.

HI @bruth. Can I ask what version of Archivematica you are building against? - We made changes in 1.7 here: https://wiki.archivematica.org/Archivematica_1.7_and_Storage_Service_0.11_release_notes#Archivematica_decoupled_from_the_FPR_server but we might still need to address some of he old links in the source code if your version is the most recent version.

Hi @bruth. I think that this should be fixed now. The certificate wasn't renewed automatically as I expected - just a configuration problem in the machine hosting that application. It should be okay now. Thank you for your report!

@ross-spencer has mentioned that the problem persists with the solution I gave you.

If you check out the most recent version of the code (e.g. use git submodule update --init --recursive) the problem should disappear. At a minimum you want this PR to be included in the version of the code that you're running: https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica/pull/971.

An alternative is to update the value of FPR_URL to https://fpr.archivematica.org/fpr/api/v2/insettings/local.py`.

FYI I've just removed the fpr-qa.archivematica.org DNS record.
