It doesn't fallback to public packages

[hendiko]

I installed private-bower following this post, I used sample configuration to start the private bower, it runs well but it doesn't fallback to public packages.

$ bower search jquery
No results.

When I search a package that doesn't exist in my private registry, it just return "No results".

I experienced the same issue. I got around it by adding the public bower repository to the .bowerrc config file, details in Bower config. E.g.

{
    "registry": {
        "search": [
            "http://private-bower-here:5678",
            "http://bower.herokuapp.com"
        ]
    }
}

Hi,

I got the same issue, it was working very well, then it fails to
bower ENOTFOUND Package moment not found
on every package.
I am using the default configuration provided on the wiki.
I have reinstalled the private-bower
I have started as a daemon (macosX)
I have started it manually
Removed the bowerRepository files
I will try to add the fallback into the bowerrc file but having this fallback on the server is quite convenient.
Otherwise it is a greate tool ! thanks

Same issue here. Just noticed it today.
d3spis3d solution fixes it to me.

Something might have changed in the hosting environment of the public registry since /packages/ doesn't resolve to the registered route /packages. Removing the trailing / in the config worked for me.

Same over here. The solution @ow-- mentions (remove the traling / in the private bower config) is working for me too.

@Hacklone Can you merge this ? Several people encountered the same problem :)

I copy-pasted the example in http://hacklone.github.io/private-bower/#config-file and it had the trailing /. Luckily I found this issue. :)
