Error: Could not connect Project Version Server

Upgrading from 1.5.7d to 1.5.8.

Fresh copy of the software using a copy of the database from 1.5.7. I have "Error: Could not connect Project Version Server" if I click on "Check for New version".

Using default template with no modifications.

Thank you

Re: Error: Could not connect Project Version Server

Yes, this does happen sometimes on the initial admin load, then it goes away. Haven't had time to troubleshoot and fix yet; maybe another contributor will crack it.

Re: Error: Could not connect Project Version Server

Thanks, It is not a big deal as the store works fine. Now I just need to figure out how to upgrade my Payment module. That is the one item that is holding me back with the upgrade. :(

Thanks again

Did this ever get fixed? Now I got it; Error: Could not contact Project Version Server. Something new also, my load times have increased exponentially. - Mark

... or create /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/extra_datafiles/disable_plugin_support.php that contains
[PHP]
<?php
define('ENABLE_PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECKING', false);
