[SOLVED] 2.1 -> 2.1.2: Custom Repository not working

Unlike doktornotor, Jim Thompson doesn't hide behind a pseudonym.

You should stick with washing the bottles, and keep WAY away from any customer/public relations. Frankly, your today's posts on this forum could be used as classic learning materials in a "How NOT to EVER deal with OSS community" course. ::)

doktornotor seems frustrated, and views himself as "the community".

"Desperado Effect"in action?

Perhaps some other admins should investigate whether Jim T's account has been hacked? If not, I feel sincerely sorry for all those the ESF employees who have been actually helpful and extremely professional, compared to this pathetic trademark "boss".

Controlled or not controlled?

The same die shows two faces.
Not controlled or controlled,
Both are a grievous error.

@mendilli:

they are not obligated to do anything you or anyone required

Actually, they are as long as they advertise this as open source. They of course are free to stop this deceptive advertising.

P.S. As for "your own" - this is a m0n0wall fork based on FreeBSD. Not something written from scratch by ESF. And those "nice people" get as much respect as they deserve. In case of certain Jim T. who happens to own the Netgate/ESF thing, the respect has currently dropped below freezing point. ::)

feel free to develop your own project on monowall, freebsd or any platform you like, if you don't like pfsense or the behaviours of the developers, no one is stopping you, there are a bunch of open source projects out there, leave us and go for them

Sorry Hobby-Student, easter holiday :P

Was the repo working on 2.1? 
```Yes.

Have you set right permissions on your webserver?

.htaccess as mentioned in the official wiki?

is test.php and xmlrpc_tester.php working? (just open in browser and see if it's reporting something)

test.php
Array ( [0] => foo [1] => baz )

xmlrpc_tester.php
Array ( [platform] => pfSense [firmware] => Array ( [version] => 0.62.5 [branch] => stable ) [kernel] => Array ( [version] => 5.4 ) [base] => Array ( [version] => 5.4 ) ) Formed message. Formed client.

sure, that the "old" folder "pfSense" is now the root of your server?

http://repo.domain.tld/xmlrpc.php
http://repo.domain.tld/xmlrpc/
http://repo.domain.tld/packages/

(and so on)


Yes, "old" files are now in root folder of my webserver.

Hi again!!

Finally I use https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=55504.0 with a host override for packages.pfsense.org to my X.X.X.X webserver and works perfect.

I think the problem is because my pfsenses hasn't direct internet connection, I use openvpn tunnels.

Just a guess… Without having the correct routes, it's not possible to get any repo ;)

In the end you got it working, that's all it depends on.

@cromero:

…I changed $path_to_files in xmlrpc.php and correct '../packages/' but not work. ¿Any ideas?

xmlrpc.php, line 45:
$path_to_files = './xmlrpc/';
xmlrpc.php, line 124:
$path_to_files = './packages/';
This should do the trick.

Thanks.Problem solved.
