Problems installing Coldbox

So im completely new to Command Box and Coldbox. I have installed Command Box, and tried running

coldbox create app myApp

which results in:

Installing package [forgebox:cbtemplate-advanced-script]
Verifying package ‘cbtemplate-advanced-script’ in ForgeBox, please wait…
Uh-oh, ForgeBox returned something other than JSON. Run “system-log | open” to see the full response.
GET https://www.forgebox.io/api/v1/entry/cbtemplate-advanced-script
Unknown host: Permission denied: connect
Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.

The logs show:

“ERROR”,“FILEAPPENDER”,“12/13/2016”,“08:58:47”,“commandbox.system.util.ForgeBox”,“Something other than JSON returned. GET https://www.forgebox.io/api/v1/entry/cbtemplate-advanced-script
Unknown host: Permission denied: connect
Connection Failure. Status code unavailable. Actual HTTP Response: Connection Failure”
“ERROR”,“FILEAPPENDER”,“12/13/2016”,“08:58:50”,“commandbox.system.util.FileSystem”,“Failed to edit C:\Users\serg.CommandBox\logs\commandbox.log. Error message: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation.”

I have checked with my boss as i believe its a firewall issue. but he told me that we don’t block any outbound connections with our firewall and i dont know much about networking or firewall to know what my next steps should be.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It definitely seems like something is blocking your outgoing calls.

What do you get when you hit https://www.forgebox.io/api/v1/entry/cbtemplate-advanced-script in your browser?

Do you have a proxy at work? If so, make sure you’ve configured your proxy settings in CommandBox:
