"No entry has been found" after failed attempt to add plugin

[Ziltoid]

Hello. New FreeNAS 9 RC2 install. Upon installing I went to Plugins and saw the list of three plugins that were available (Transmission, the DLNA server, and the music server). I selected Transmission and it started to install. The progress bar hung at 20% and wouldn't continue, so after 10 minutes or so I clicked the "X" on the progress dialog. Now when I go back to plugins, it shows none in the list, saying "No entry has been found."

The Collection URL on the Configuration tab hasn't changed (it's still http://test-cafe.ixsystems.com/freenas/json and I can get to it in a web browser).

In "Jails," it seems to have created a "bit1" jail with its own IP address. If I go to that IP in a browser I get the standard "It works" page, but if I go to that IP:9091/transmission/web it fails with a browser error saying it can't connect to that port. I deleted the Jail but the list of plugins will not come back. I've pressed "Refresh" many times.

What might I be doing wrong here?

Please create a ticket at support.freenas.org so the devs can see if they can recreate this error. Also, is the FreeNAS system using DHCP or a static IP address?

Same problem here in the release version of 9.1.0

Is this 32 or 64-bit?

 

[Chris230291]

Im on 64 fella.

 

[dlavigne]

What is the URL now that you're on release? It should now be http://appcafe.org/freenas/json.

 

[Chris230291]

Yes thats the one i have. Just to be clear i'm not really fussed about this. I downloaded and installed them manually. I just thought i'd add that i too don't have any packages appear.

for me i put

Network -> Global Configuration
nameserver1 8.8.8.8
nameserver1 8.8.4.4​

 

[underpickled]

for me i put

Network -> Global Configuration ​

nameserver1 8.8.8.8​

nameserver1 8.8.4.4​

This worked for me too. Also, it fixed the "host not found" error I kept receiving for the ntp servers.

What worked for me:
1) Changed nameservers as above.
2) Also in

Network -> Global Configuration​

I put in my default gateway IP address (address of my router)​

3) I put www before the appcafe domain name in the address. i.e. http://WWW.appcafe.org/freenas/json
4) Refreshed the plugins page a few times and VOILA!

I'm having the same issue.
gateway is correct
nameservers are google
repository is http://www.appcafe.org/freenas/json

I had the same problem, but in addition to
Network -> Global Configuration
nameserver1 8.8.8.8
nameserver2 8.8.4.4

and repository is http://www.appcafe.org/freenas/json,​

I rebooted the system, and now the available plugins became listed.

I'm glad I came across this thread, because this solution has worked for me too!
Used same settings as ryanf.

Same problem but the solutions are not working. I am able to ping from the nas box so I think my network connection is good.

This URL should work: http://download.freenas.org/plugins/9/x64/pbi-meta/pbi-repo.rpo.
