Jail hangs - Repository FreeBSD has a wrong packagesite

[Bostjan]

I was adding a jail in FreeNAS web UI. With Add Jail button I added a jail. For the first time it took a little time to finish. Then I opened shell from FreeNAS web UI. First I changed root password with # passwd then I wanted to update the jail
# pkg upgrade

then I've got an error

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: Repository FreeBSD has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database

The jail/shell hanged. I suppose. Well it didn't do anything. I was waiting for about an hour.

When I was making a jail I tried with VIMAGE option and without. In Template option there is just VirtualBox option or no option.

I already have some Plugin jails created and they all work.


What did I do wrong?

Were you able to resolve this error? If not, does adding a default gateway to that screen fix it? Is a DHCP server available in your network? If so, does switching to DHCP fix it?

I have deleted my manualy created jails once more and I've created them once more.

Now this works

# pkg upgrade


And I've tested and also this works.

# pkg install owncloud

Glad it worked for you but I am having a similar problem.

I can ping the ip of my jail, 192.168.1.31
I ping google.com and 8.8.8.8 from within the jail.

dig google.com returns:
root@OwnCloud:/ # dig google.com
dig: Command not found.

Looks like several bugs have been reported for this (though most were closed as user configuration issue). This one is still open though and being investigated: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/14293.
