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`
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.
