CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url

Question

I'm setting up the virtual environment of Django for the first time. I've downloaded the Anaconda library of Python in my D drive. So initially I set up the path of Python and Conda(Scripts) manually in advance system settings. But now when I'm creating the environment using command

conda create --name mydjang0 django

the command prompt is showing an error like this-

C:\Users\AABHA GAUTAM> conda create --name mydjang0 django
Solving environment: failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/pro/win-64/repodata.json.bz2>
Elapsed: -

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.

If your current network has https://www.anaconda.com blocked, please file a support request with your network engineering team.

SSLError(MaxRetryError('HTTPSConnectionPool(host='repo.anaconda.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /pkgs/pro/win-64/repodata.json.bz2 (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))'))

Can you navigate to https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/pro/win-64/repodata.json.bz2 in a browser? — Iain Shelvington, Apr 14 '19 at 18:01

If you already have a .condarc file in your root folder. Then update the file by running this command.

conda config --set ssl_verify false

If you do not have a .condarc file, then create one and then run the above command. I have added both the commands below.

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set ssl_verify false

Instead of using command prompt use Anaconda Prompt as administator. run the same command there.

I also faced same issue with command prompt.
