good evening everyone. first i would like to thank you for taking the time to take a look at my issue.
I have been using freeNAS for a while now, but am just starting to get the most out of it.
Quick rundown of my system:
FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x86 (r11950)
P4 3GHz
1776MB
2x 1TB hard drive
I am trying to add Subsonic to my freenas box, but for some reason, 'pkg_add' does not work. when trying to run 'pkg_add -vr flac' it returns an error stating:
[root@freenas] ~# pkg_add -vr flac
scheme: [ftp]
user: []
password: []
host: [ftp-archive.freebsd.org]
port: [0]
document: [/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/flac.tbz]
---> ftp-archive.freebsd.org:21
looking up ftp-archive.freebsd.org
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/flac.tbz: No address record
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/flac.tbz' by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed
the same thing happens regardless of what package i try to install. i was able to find a work around and visited 'ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/' and downloaded the 6 specific .tbz files required for the subsonic installation via pkg_add (xtrans, xproto, xextproto, javavmwrapper, lame, flac, ffmpeg).
i was able to successfully run 'pkg_add -v /mnt/NAS/freeBSD/freeNAS_software/***.tbz' on some files and it installed fine, but other files seemed as if they would require a host of other files as well (a bunch of lib*** files...i saw them on that same site i visited, but didn't want to have to download each of them individually). it is my natural assumption that a successful pkg_add command would also install the required lib files pertaining to the requested command (in the same way that 'sudo apt-get install xx' will install additional files).
What is going on with my system as to why 'pkg_add' is not working? i feel like it was working in my previous version of FreeNAS (7.x) as i remember running 'pkg_add nano' successfully.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
