Could not contact Primary Server

Got this message when updating Sophos Home Edition for Mac:

Could not contact Primary Server. URL Error: 3 July 2015

Mac OS X 10.10.4

Sophos Home Edition 9.2.4

As I'm in Australia and this is first report for 3rd July, am thinking this may be a cloud error with Sophos infrastructure.

If not, there's something else amiss... have cleared cache and restarted.

  • Hello everyone,

    Updating failures where the network is involved can be tricky to diagnose, as there are a few different things involved: your computer, your connection to your ISP, their connection to other systems, and our provider's infrastructure (we use Lime Light Networks and Akamai to distribute updates around the world). The most complete way to diagnose what is happening is to do a packet trace (tcpdump) while attempting to update as this will capture all the networking events. An easier way to diagnose this problem is to look at the log file /var/log/install.log to see if we wrote any error messages; we should have, if the error happened while downloading the update files. Let us know what you find.

  • Still having the same error:
    com.sophos.autoupdate: Proceed with manually triggered update from Sophos at 20:19:19 19 February 2016

    com.sophos.autoupdate: Error: Could not contact primary server at 20:19 on 19 February 2016

    What is the next step?
    Thanks.
  • Dear All,
    My SAV is now working... did not have to do anything at all.. Not sure what happened.
  • There is likely more detailed diagnostics information in the log /var/log/install.log - use the Console app to view it. My best guess is there was some temporary outage somewhere between your ISP and our provider.

  • I have tried this many many times over the past 4 or 5 months, at least, and have gotten the same error message every time. Here is the output of grep -i sophos install.log

  • Hi Mark,

    No idea what all those messages OSInstaller[458]: (SB) Done Shoving Sandbox... actually means, but looks like perhaps an OS upgrade? Definitely not our software.

    Our installer messages start with the line Sophos Installer[66150]: [SMEInstallController.m:209] Installing opm-sa-installer version 9.2.8

    The most interesting line is Sophos Installer[66198]: [SMEInstallController.m:659] The receipt has been damaged. The previous installation will be removed. This means our installer (for the upgrade) failed to run the stored installer (for the current installation) that lives in /Library/Application Support/Sophos. Further reading of the messages suggests that it managed to remove the previous version and successfully install the new version. That is where the log ends.

    From just this log, I conclude the following things:

    1. whatever was installed prior to 9.2.8 was not set up as expected
    2. the new 9.2.8 installation appears to have succeeded
    3. no idea whether future updating is going to work or  not (nothing in the logs about it)

    What is the current state of your system?

  • My system is fine. I am running osx 10.11.3.
    My only problem is that I get this error message when I try to update Sophos.
  • Hi Mark,

    Sorry, need some clarification on "this error message" (nothing in your install.log suggests a problem beyond what I already described). Run "Update Now" (from the shield menu) and post back what you find in your install.log file please.

  • An error message like JP's message Posted: 3 Jul 2015 10:21 AM.
    This is the only problem that I have and the problem on this thread.
  • The UI error is pretty generic (several different error conditions can lead to the same result). The messages in the file /var/log/install.log are likely to be more helpful in diagnosing what is wrong.
