[usamaasfar]

same error here!

I think something went wrong with npm registry server.

[RashA07]

Same issue. Checked on co-workers device as well. No change.

https://registry.npmjs.org/error-ex returns 404 error.

[chanakaudaya]

The same issue occurred here as well.

[nipunann1991]

Following. Facing the same issue here

[Buddikawidu]

same issue , is npmjs.org knows this issue..?

[Ranindu15]

Still, have this error? Does anyone fix it?

[Buddikawidu]

Using VPN pointing separate region might overcome this issue

[akmalnawfer]

same issue here, cannot create new project or install dependencies in old project. Did anybody fix it?

[isurumaldeniya]

creating new angular project also not working. i.e. ng new my-app is also not working at the moment.

[acskck]

Looks like https://registry.npmjs.org/error-ex is down only for South Asian region

[jcugmas]

@acskck not at all, it is down for France (Western Europe) as well...

[acskck]

@jcugmas I just tried accessing this inside a VM hosted in Sweden and it is working fine

[jcugmas]

@acskck thanks for the trick, I'm gonna try.

[WiemLagha]

[ibrahim-sakr]

[romainroufast]

[MahdiHsoumi]

Same with an other library, seems npm registry is collapsing :x

This works if you try to access from US region via a VPN connection.

[julienlesbegueriesperso]

to fix ng new app, I manually installed node-error-ex after 'ng new app' failed.
cd app
npm i https://github.com/Qix-/node-error-ex
npm install

[stefano-regosa-deel]

down in italy :(

[MensiGhaith]

@julienlesbegueriesimtalbi doesn't work

[prabathgem]

to fix ng new app, I manually installed node-error-ex after 'ng new app' failed.
cd app
npm i https://github.com/Qix-/node-error-ex
npm install

Yes, this works fine

[usamaasfar]

I use VPN to solve this issue.

used OpenVPN with Ubuntu
https://www.vpnbook.com/howto/

[Buddikawidu]

have alternative solution,

1.If project is new Crete "node_modules" folder
2.run npm i

error ex package is attached change the extension name in to .rar

[Arfaoui-ghaith]

the whole world too

[DBCOOPER90]

In my case if I use the the skimdb url, I still get this error :

npm ERR! 404 'error-stack-parser@^2.0.0' is not in the npm registry.

[awran5]

@DBCOOPER90 have you set it for npm globally?

[Vincent2703]

@DBCOOPER90 have you set it for npm globally?

How you do that..?

[awran5]

@Vincent2703

npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry

Or try GitHub link if that doesn't work:

npm config set registry https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-couchapp

[DBCOOPER90]

@DBCOOPER90 have you set it for npm globally?

I'm using the .npmrc file to specify the registry. That should have worked. Not sure what you mean by globally

[awran5]

@DBCOOPER90 I meant in the global path not in some local projects.

When working locally in a project, a .npmrc file in the root of the project (ie, a sibling of node_modules and package.json) will set config values specific to this project. Docs

[m-elgendy]

it works here in Egypt, with just the basic vue create run

[Andrew-Kadry]

It works now in Egypt guys!

[cRhettiarachchi]

Had the same issue, and I used hide me VPN with country Nethernalds to generate the project.

[OfficialBafisi]

Used VPN as well and it worked!!!

[salah1928]

Guess it's down in morocco too because i'm getting that same error right now

[kugak]

Toronto is good now 👍

[isurumaldeniya]

Sri Lanka (South Asia) is good now. Thank you npm team

[acskck]

Sri Lanka is good now too. Are there anybody who is still experiencing the 404?

[netstratum-labs]

[AyaElmoataz]

[ngie-mp]

[fullsnackdeveloper]

Just for record, London Canada is up and running!

[acskck]

The 404 error is fixed now. Hence closing the most commented issue in create-react-app 😄

[AhmadChai]

i add two commands then solved the issue :p
npm install --save err
npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry
worked for me :)

[erisnuts]

npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry

Worked for CRA

[diegoulloao]

I just published my own package with github packages and when I try to install it I get the same error. I think something is going wrong with npm servers. I did check all my steps and I think are correct (Chile).
