Could not contact Primary Server

JP

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.

    Nope. I had uninstalled, removed keychain entry, rebooted mac and reinstalled Sophos but issue is still present. I am on Sophos 9.2.7 with threat engine 3.60.0 and threat data 5.15. It does not update for me. Issue is still present, update fails with URL Error com.sophos.autoupdate: Proceed with manually triggered update from Sophos at 08:40:56 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: Updating catalogue information at 08:40:57 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: Catalogue updated at 08:41:01 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: Download started at 08:41:01 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: Error: Failed to download packages at 08:41:18 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: Error: Could not contact primary server at 08:41 on 14 July 2015 com.sophos.autoupdate: URL is invalid com.sophos.autoupdate:

    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to let you know that our Ops team has been working with Optus and our CDN provider to deterime that there was a network issue within Optus that was causing these issues. As far as I know this issue *should* be resolved for all users on the Optus network at this point. If you're still experiencing issues, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again for all your help and patience on this!
