Error when starting up Gazebo: Unable to download model manifests
Here is the full error message:
Error [ModelDatabase.cc:228] No <database> tag in the model database database.config found here[http://gazebosim.org/models/]
Error [ModelDatabase.cc:287] Unable to download model manifests
This happens when I start up gazebo running on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04. I have tried stating gazebo via the normal method and using a ROS empty_world launch file, and the error persists.
Due to this error, the functionality of gazebo is reduced. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This happens whenever the Gazebo Model Database is down.

I'm wondering if it is permanently down, it hasen't been working for several days now

We're working on it, I think it's been less than 48 hours

A short term work around: GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://models.gazebosim.org gazebo --verbose
