I've had HikaShop working for about a year with the Canada Post shipping plugin. Recently the following message comes up at the shipping step of checkout. It typically appears when the browser gives up trying to connect with CP.

"An error occurred. The connection to the Canada Post server could not be established: couldn't connect to host"

I haven't changed any HikaShop parameters/options in several months and the current configuration was working prior to this development. CP techs say everything is working at their end and to make sure that port 3000 is open.

It means that your server is not able to contact the server cybervente.postescanada.ca on the port 30000 (and not 3000) using cURL. So I invite you to contact your hosting company to check with them that such connection is possible. If cURL is not available, or the port 30000 closed, or outgoing connections forbidden by a firewall, your server won't be able to retrieve the rates from CanadaPost.
That has nothing to do with HikaShop settings or code and you can't fix the situation by changing something in hikaShop.

Thanks for the notice about the planned CP service outage, but the dates do not coincide. Besides this problem turned out to be due to the port somehow becoming closed, as Nicolas suggested. Still looking into that, though.
