getting access denied when trying to download terraform installer

[VigneshPonraj]

##[error]Error: Failed to download Terraform from url https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.13.3/terraform_0.13.3_windows_amd64.zip. Error Error: Unexpected HTTP response: 403

Tried manually going to the url
https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

Was coming to report. The HashiCorp Services Status page does not a "report an issue" option, but shows all is well. https://status.hashicorp.com/

Getting similar to this Vagrant issue several years ago: hashicorp/vagrant#6298

[pcwiek]

Same with the provider registry

Initializing provider plugins...
- Reusing previous version of hashicorp/aws from the dependency lock file

Error: Failed to install provider

Error while installing hashicorp/aws v3.20.0: could not query provider
registry for registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws: failed to retrieve
authentication checksums for provider: 403 Forbidden

[jpke]

dunno if this is related?

Initializing provider plugins...
- Checking for available provider plugins...

Error verifying checksum for provider "aws"
The checksum for provider distribution from the Terraform Registry
did not match the source. This may mean that the distributed files
were changed after this version was released to the Registry.

Getting the same issue. On any download under the following:

Pipelines
##[error]Error: Failed to download Terraform from url https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.13.6/terraform_0.13.6_linux_amd64.zip. Error Error: Unexpected HTTP response: 404

Firefox

Getting a similar issue, seems like the registry is returning 404 not found

[kubadawczynski]

There is official info

Works for me in UK. This is probably another CDN sync issue.

[jboero]

I've tried VPNs to USA, 4 EU countries, all work. Maybe this is regional to APJ?

[jcollum]

I'm in the US, getting a 404 on https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.7/terraform_0.14.7_darwin_amd64.zip

[jcollum]

https://status.hashicorp.com/ -- that's where @kubada found it

[jboero]

It won't help providers but installing the binaries can still be done by our RPM/DEB repos:

# RPM systemd distros:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/hashicorp.repo

# APT or DEB systemd distros:
curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main"

[jcf]

Running terraform init locally from the UK does not work for me. I'm seeing the same issues with checksums and downloading providers on Terraform Cloud.

Error: Failed to install provider

Error while installing hashicorp/random v3.1.0: could not query provider
registry for registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/random: failed to retrieve
cryptographic signature for provider: 404 Not Found

[jboero]

I'm in the US, getting a 404 on https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.7/terraform_0.14.7_darwin_amd64.zip

Strange I'm getting 403 on that. Hmm

[ruairidhwm]

Still getting a 404 here in Scotland.

Edit: Seems to be back!

[jcollum]

@jboero i'm getting 403 via the url but 404 via tfenv tool

[jboero]

Thanks for the update. Browsing works but direct links don't. Support is on this.

[CaptainStealthy]

I'm getting 403's galore in Canada... both when downloading binaries directly as well as terraform init

[Fresa]

seems it's coming back now!

[hinchley2018]

We saw this issue in US as well. Then it seems like its working now glad to see such a quick resolution! 👏

Well .. the change they introduced in the providers path broke essentially everything. Doesn't get much worse :)

Hi! I really appreciate everyone reporting this. The root cause here is an incident in the releases.hashicorp.com and registry infrastructure. I'm going to close this and related issues and consolidate any ongoing discussion into #27872. Please do let us know in that issue if you are still having trouble downloading Terraform or providers.
