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

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.

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
