Problem

Your repositories have been building just fine using the tool Travis CI but suddenly the builds do not work anymore and the Travis CI website shows a screen with the message:

`This is not an active repository`

active

Solution

Go to GitHub and assure that you are logged in with the account that owns the repository.
Go to Travis CI and sign in with your GitHub account
Go to the repository
Click on the button 'Active Repository'

If all works, that's fine. However, if you get an error: 'There was an error while trying to activate the repository.' do the following:

Go to the settings for your account on Travis - Assure that the repository you want to build is enabled.
