our company has a Maven Repository (Nexus Version 1.4.0 Open Source), this repository hosts company artifacts and also it configured with some proxy repositories (like Maven Central). now the problem is that Nexus can not access to some of the repositories including Maven Central. this is really frustrating.

in Nexus web interface the status of these broken repositories is : "In Service - Attempting to Proxy and Remote Unavailable".

I have no idea what to do.

Which version do you use? 1.4. ? I don't believe? – khmarbaise
yes it is 1.4!, I have just joined a company and this is the version installed – mhrsalehi
You should really upgrade to at least 2.14.x – J Fabian Meier
Really Oh my lord. ..upgrade to at least to 2.X or even better to 3.X this otherwise you will get in more troubles... – khmarbaise
yes I agree, this should be our priority. but for at least one week I have to work with this version, because there are some deadlines and I have no time for this. – mhrsalehi

Not really an answer but a couple thoughts that can lead to the solution:

  1. Since January 2020 maven central moved to https - maybe you should configure nexus accordingly (see this blog post from sonatype)

  2. There might be a network configuration (firewall or whatever) that restricts nexus to make a connection to the mvn central. Maybe its worth to consult with network / admin people.

  3. Nexus itself must have logs - maybe you'll find some information there.
