There seems to be a sporadic problem with CurseForge web API not responding with the file listing. I have been encountering this at times but can't yet reproduce it within a debugger.

In the meantime, can set CF_PAGE_URL to https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/all-the-mods-10/files/6313628

Any suggestions?

I was using a droplet on digital ocean, whenever i would get this error i would just create a new server and that would usually work, it seemed to be some kinda ip related issue on the curseforge side i think, i guess the other solution could be where you download the files and run it from that maybe?

[FrnaklySpeaking24]

I figured it out!

TLDR: Check your API key and make sure it respects auto-curseforge requirements

When I first setup the server I used the setup mc configurator which adjusted the API key for me automatically by inserting the extra "$". Eventually I changed to an .env but didn't correct it by using single quotes and removing the extra characters.

It had been running with the incorrect formatted key for a little bit tho like 10 days which is curious. Anyways it's back up and running, thanks!
