Hi, I have Drush installed under etc/drush and it appears to be working fine. I can type in drush status and the install info is displayed. However when I type in a command to installed a module, drush dl rules for example, I get the msg. "Could not download project status information from http://updates.drupal.org/release-history/rules/7.x"
"could not download requested project(s)"

any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix?

When I am working locally with WAMP, if I do not set the temp folder correctly, I get similar errors. Take a look at that.

It might help to note I am accessing Drush via SSH on PC, remotely to the Linux. I am looking into setting up a Drush alias (Googling). If anyone has done this successfully let me know the easiest/best way.

thanks

If you are running Drupal on a Linux machine, you will need to install Drush on your server, not your local workstation. You will have to run drush dl masquerade from the command line of your server to have it download the modules on your server.

This is an old issue but, this happened to me recently on my local machine.

I've been using Drush on my local machine for a couple of years. Out of nowhere this problem popped up. I was able to resolve it by turning "allow_url_fopen" off in my php ini file.
