[solved] Cannot ping the remote server

Drone Support
1

this is the agent config i’m using

DRONE_RPC_PROTO=http
DRONE_RPC_HOST=drone.sky-cloud.net
DRONE_RPC_SECRET=ce65d1400bde94542718bd1d87d
DRONE_LOG_FILE=/var/log/drone-runner-exec/log.txt

but not work

time="2019-09-02T02:42:55-04:00" level=error msg="cannot ping the remote server" error=Forbidden

The DRONE_RPC_SECRET is same with DRONE_SECRET which was set in drone server

this means either your secret is incorrect or you did not install the server with DRONE_AGENTS_ENABLED

3

you can also examine the source code. the only way to receive a 403 forbidden is when the token is empty in your server configuration. A token mismatch would return a 401. See https://github.com/drone/drone/blob/master/operator/manager/rpc2/server.go#L49

This is how i start the server now, but still not work.
Note. I deleted some chars in secret, they are same actually.

this is not the correct variable. It is DRONE_RPC_SECRET

Yes. I just checked the docs, they are updated, there was no that env var before. Thanks a lot.

there has not been any change to the documentation, but glad you got it working …
