Re: [R] unable to access index for repository...
All support on this list is voluntary, and support for old versions of R is not even necessarily on-topic here which is why you keep getting nudged to upgrade. Your "need" for support for an old version is definitely not "our" problem, so I suggest you start looking for a consultant if this issue is that important to you. Such is the nature of volunteer-developed open source software... so support your local experts. On October 8, 2020 10:22:54 AM PDT, Steven Yen wrote: >Thanks for the help.

Re: [R] unable to access index for repository...
Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)a sad reality I do not like. Here is what I did. I downloaded https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip and installed the zip file, which worked in both RStudio and R (without RStudio). In RStudio, I go Tools -> Install packages -> Install from -> (Choose zip) -> (Browse to the zip file) IN R, I go Packages -> Install packages from local file(s) -> (Browse to the zip file)... Below is the command line generated and the prompt. > install.packages("C:/Users/USER/Downloads/aod_1.3.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary") package ‘aod’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked I will always be able to download the proper .zip file from CRAC Archive, right. So, this will always work for me? Thank you all !! If there are more direct options that work, I would still be interested to know.

[R] unable to access index for repository...
I had to install/use an older version of (R-3.0.3) for a reason. While installing a package from CRAN (either in RStudio or R), I received the following warning message saying unable to access index for repository http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.0.

You could re-install R with the internet2 option, or run setInternet2(TRUE) in a session to fix this. (Or maybe you already did that, in which case setInternet2(FALSE) will turn it off.) 2) Any suggestions how I can connect to a MySQL database through windows using R.
