@mbeacom I meet a similar question now, so I come here for some tips, but I can not view that website, Access not allowed.

[owocki]

hey @Skyge heads up Mark left the team. Ill reopen this for you now tho

[Skyge]

@owocki OK, thanks for your help.

[Skyge]

I am trying run commond

docker-compose exec web python3 app/manage.py sync_geth rinkeby -20 99999999999

to import data, but it throws out an error:
ipfsapi.exceptions.ConnectionError: ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ipfs.infura.io', port=5001): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v0/version?stream-channels=true (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7ff11f9b2860>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

[Skyge]

I use the newest version: e5525f1(05/04)

[Skyge]

@owocki I really need to quickly solve this problem, so any idea?

[Skyge]

Thanks for @SaptakS advice, there are some cases for this phenomenon:

this seems like a problem with the infura server being down
it's not a problem with the codebase
it's either your internet connection is weak so there is some gateway timeout 
(which can be fixed by trying it sometime later)
or ipfs server of infura was down
or some bad ssl in your terminal side
or try a different network without proxy
or  have https_proxy set in environment: 
    like export https_proxy=<proxy_address>:<proxy:port>

try rebuilding the code.
by doing `docker-compose down` and then `docker-compose up --build`

[Skyge]

@owocki Although I have not solved it yet, you can close this issue now, maybe this only happens on my PC. Thanks!

[Skyge]

@owocki ,I have solved this problem, I update the newest code 2bdfa63
