How can I resolve Conda HTTP000error?

Question

I'm currently having problems with Anaconda on a win10.

I've tried to update conda via the terminal and I get this error.

I've made a .condarc file, written http and https proxy in it, and set ssl_verify: False, but this error do not disappear.

What should I do?

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json>
Elapsed: -

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.

If your current network has https://www.anaconda.com blocked, please file
a support request with your network engineering team.

'https//repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64'

The output from set CONDA command is shown below.

(env | grep CONDA can not used using win10 anaconda prompt)

(base) C:\Users\makoto.fujii>set CONDA
CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV=base
CONDA_EXE=C:\Users\makoto.fujii\anaconda3\condabin\..\Scripts\conda.exe
CONDA_PREFIX=C:\Users\makoto.fujii\Anaconda3
CONDA_PROMPT_MODIFIER=(base)
CONDA_PYTHON_EXE=C:\Users\makoto.fujii\anaconda3\python.exe

Answer 1

Could be an issue with a firewall, or a vpn.

To help troubleshoot, what is the output of this command?

conda config --show

One possible thing to try is to change the order of the channels in the .condarc file.

conda config --set client_ssl_cert None
conda config --set client_ssl_cert_key None
conda config --set  ssl_verify True

Update:

have you verified that you are not running a vpn or a firewall (the command below is for Windows Firewall)?

netsh interface show interface
netsh advfirewall show allprofiles state

also, can you ping the anaconda web-site?

ping anaconda.com

Answer 2

conda config --show output results
