PKG Install - fail to extract

[pgrubaugh]

I just upgraded from 8.31 -> 9.1 and was trying to install a pkg (more specifically mysql 5.5 or 5.6). For either of these packages I am receiving the output below. I have confirmed connection at least to www.google.com. Any ideas? Searching forums or google gives almost nothing on 'pkg: fail to extract pkg-static'.

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# pkg install mysql56-server                                   
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.               
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y                             
Bootstrapping pkg please wait

Hi pgrubaugh,

Don't do that.

Read this:

http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Jails

and this:

Thanks for helping Survive. I feel like I understand the process to follow now. I have created the Jail as 'Standard'. I then opened up a Shell and enter the jail using 'jexec _ /bin/tcsh'. So far so good.

From here on, I have tried many variations to 'pkg install mysql55-server'. Every way I try fails and the problem is that I end up losing connectivity outside of the jail. I have pasted my Shell entries below. You can see that I can ping Google, then I try to install the package. This fails, and then I can no longer ping google. (in-line edit) I just tried this again, and before I get to the pkg install, my 'jexec' session was terminated (screen paused, then was taken back to standard shell). After re-entering jexec, I can no longer ping google. I have noticed this happen in previous sessions, and I wonder if whatever this i, is related to my issue. Any ideas?

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# jls

Update: I removed the only Plugin I had installed before playing with the Jails (miniDLNA). I also removed the previous jail I created for this effort. After this, I started over. I can maintain network connectivity now, and am now to the next issue. It is saying that my package 'was not found in the repositories'. I have tried both 'mysql55-server' and 'mysql56-server'.

Code:

root@mySQL:/ # pkg install mysql55-server                                     
Updating repository catalogue                                                 
Repository catalogue is up-to-date, no need to fetch fresh copy               
pkg: Package 'mysql55-server' was not found in the repositories               
root@mySQL:/ #

To be fair ... I also tried to install the example from the freenas docs, 'pkg install audiotag', and received the same '... not found in the repositories.

Install a jail of type of "pluginjail" instead of a "standard", it will have working packages. Otherwise you need to change the repo yourself.

 

[pgrubaugh]

And ... now I have it working. I followed the instructions farther down on the link I posted in step #5. I used the 'Compiling FreeBSD Ports with make' section. This worked very easily.

I still had the problem with miniDLNA and having it crash my network on my jails, but as of now, I don't need miniDLNA, so this isn't a problem for me.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Survive. All the documentation was there, it just takes some time to work through it .... for a noob.

For the original error, it sounds like "vanilla" was left checked during the jail creation. See Table 9a at http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Jails.

 

[pgrubaugh]

Thanks William. Just saw your post. I will give that I try when I get back later. I'm not sure what the advantages/disadvantages are of one method vs. the other, but the make install method was pretty easy.

 

[William Grzybowski]

Either will work just fine. Using ports (make install) you can configure which feature you want to enable/disable for each software (if supported).

It took adding another Jail to truly figure out my network problems. Very simply, the Jail IP was already in use on my network.
