Unable to start the Plugin service

[csani]

Hello all,

I have recently joined the crowd, still have a lot to learn :) For the most part I was able to do everything i wanted but the Plugin section got the best of me.

As many before me I am unable to start the service even though i have a jail and a valid minidlna pbi file. Here is what my messages file looks like after a reboot and an attempt to start the service:

Any help would greatly improve the pase of my evolution :)

Thanks!

And which version of FreeNAS are you running?

Did you follow the instructions for installing the jail? Instructions are in the manual. And I assume you downloaded the jail PBI from them same area that you grabbed FreeNAS?

 

[csani]

hey Joe,

I am using 8.3.0

I was finally able to start the Plugin service but when attempting to start the miniDLNA i get the omnious error "MiniDLNA data did not validate, configure it first." I have rebooted several times, reinstalled the pbi and still the minidlna does not show up in the tree under services. From what i have been reading i should configure it there before starting the service.

About to give up on the idea this will ever work :(

 

[joeschmuck]

So once you have the jail plugin running you will install the MiniDLNA plugin. Once it's installed you should have a drop down under Services → Plugins → Management → MiniDLNA. See page 183 of the users guide.

Actually installation and configuration is a breeze for MiniDLNA now days. Last year is wasn't like that and it was all manual changes in a few locations. I would prefer MiniDLNA be an installed part of FreeNAS but the folks programming it would prefer not doing it but I see their point.

Hope this helps.

 

[csani]

Thanks for your efforts Joe.

Unfortunately even with the minidlna installed i do not have any reference to it under Services → Plugins → Management.




Why?!

 

[joeschmuck]

I'm not sure what is going on there but I've never seen anyone have this type of problem before.

Just to cover all the bases, you downloaded FreeNAS 8.3.0-Release and installed the plugins from that folder? Did you use the 64 bit version or 32 bit version? I'd like to recreate your problem, could you give me the download path of the files you grabbed?

 

[joeschmuck]

I also grabbed and just tested the 8.3.1-Beta2 (64-bit) and it works fine as well, with respect to Jail and MiniDLNA loading and configuring.

If you are running the 64 bit version and you are stuck, I'm not sure I can help you any further as without controlling your FreeNAS system, I cannot figure out what is going on.

I also have an issue when starting the jail it sometime will not start because of errors in /etc/rc.conf

Code:

4"
5
"6

The errors seem to occur when creating the jail, when i delete the unwanted characters the service starts fine.

The config when successful starting (/etc/rc.conf)

Code:

jail_jail_rootdir="/mnt/tank/jail/jail"
jail_jail_hostname="jail"
jail_jail_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_jail_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"
jail_jail_procfs_enable="YES"
jail_jail_mount_enable="YES"
jail_jail_vnet_enable="YES"
jail_jail_flags="-l -U root -c persist"
jail_jail_exec_afterstart0="ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1"
jail_jail_exec_start="/bin/sh /dev/null"
jail_sysvipc_allow="YES"
jail_list="jail"
jail_v2_enable="YES"
jail_enable="YES"
jail_jail_exec_poststop0="ifconfig bridge4 destroy"
jail_jail_exec_poststop1="ifconfig epair4a destroy"
jail_jail_exec_poststop2="arp -d 192.168.110.191"
jail_jail_exec_poststop3="jail -r 1

But the ip adres which is choosen for the jail is not up (another ip wil have same issue)

The issue really seem to be with bringing up the secondary ip

This is all fucked up.

Paste the screenshot with the settings for Plugins service and the Interfaces screen.

After this, stop the Plugins service, restart the box, edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the .*debug line, run service syslogd restart.

Once it is done paste:
# ifconfig -a
# netstat -rn

Then try to start the Plugins service from GUI and after this paste again:

# ifconfig -a
# netstat -rn
# jexec `jls jid` ifconfig -a

And attach /var/log/debug.log

(Use pastebin.com)

 

[raymonvdm]

I have rebooted the machine and after the reboot i had an extra interface bridge0 with a third ip adres.(not shure if i did this manualy) After that it is possible to add the second ip (the one from the jail) and the jail is working.

I have now successfully installed two plugins and all

Note: I deleted the garbage in /etc/rc.conf serveral times

 

[William Grzybowski]

The point of those outputs I asked were to determine why the syntax errors in /etc/rc.conf

 

[joeschmuck]

It gets frustrating at times trying to help people doesn't it.

Will, here you go, please let me know what I am doing wrong...

Please see that even if the plugins service is now running the plugins arenot present in the tree under Services->Plugins

 

[William Grzybowski]

Could not find anything strange.

Does /etc/rc.conf get messed up everytime you stop/start the plugin service?
