      Http://FTP:// is not a valid link  ;)

      Remove the FTP:// part and try again

        Hmm I thought this was supposed to be fixed in 2.0.1 but it isn't for me either (also an upgrade). I thought they were switching to a local repo mirror instead?  :-\

        @http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=633:

        Fixed path to FreeBSD packages repo for 8.1

        Anyway you need to use the FreeBSD ftp archive for 8.1 to ensure compatibilty:

        pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/python-2.6,2.tbz

          thank you for replying .. but once i press on pkg_add -r python
          see this msg

          pkg_add -r python
          Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
          pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python.tbz' by URL

          i entered to this website and i see that instead packages-8.1-release it was packages-8.2-release ,, so i guess i must updates the sources in pfsense , but i dont know how to do that ,,,,,,,

            You need to specify the complete URL because it has changed like I outlined above.

            Alternatively you can change the variable that pfSense uses to know where to look. I can't remember off hand what that is though. Hold on….

            OK. First run:

            
            setenv PACKAGESITE "ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/"
            
            

            Then you can load packages as normal: pkg_add -r python

                Use the same pkg_add to install downloaded packages, just point to filesystem

                pkg_add /path-to-package

                          Yes, but what does that python script do?

                          Where did you get it?

                              Hmmm, well I can't comment on python script. Wrong python version perhaps?
                              Why are you trying to run URLGrabber on your firewall? It seems unwise.  ;)

                                  Where did you get this urlgrabber script from? What python version is it written for?

                                      @http://urlgrabber.baseurl.org/:

                                      It's really easy to build an RPM from the tarball. Simply unpack the tarball, cd into it, and do
                                      python setup.py bdist_rpm

                                      Ok, so you're trying to build an RPM file.
                                      Do you realise that RPMs are not a FreeBSD format and hence not supported by pfSense?

                                      Why are you trying to do this. What do you need URLGrabber for? If you tell us why you are doing all this we may be able to suggest an easier option.  ::)

                                          Sorry I may be being thick here but there is a FreeBSD 8.1 package for urlgrabber so why not just install that.

                                          I should also add that it depends on ca_root_nss-3.12.11_2, curl-7.21.3_2, py27-curl-7.19.0_1, python27-2.7.2_3

                                          Just read that link you posted to a pfsense how-to. Please be aware that it is now py27-*

                                          Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

                                            Have you added all the python packages in that link?
