PFsense…

[afamnu]

hello my freinds
im new in PFsense , i install PFsense 1.2.2 and then i made full updates for 2.0.1 release
version , and i tryed to install the python by this command ( pkg_add -r
python ) telling me this msg ( Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python.tbz:
File -8unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)  ) as i see there’s
problem with packages-8.1 i entered to the site and i see its packages name
changed to packages-8.2-release …… plz any one can help , i appreciate

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

[afamnu]

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 ,

[stephenw10]

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

[afamnu]

still can’t add the packages :s… im tryng to fetch them manual ,and i downloaded the packages but also the rpm command not found :s how to install the rpm packages also ……

[marcelloc]

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

pkg_add /path-to-package

[afamnu]

thank you all i made same as u said and its work , im trying now to install the url grabber and the video cache , once i put the command python setup.py bdist_rpm  in the urlgrabber

python setup.py bdist_rpm

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File “setup.py”, line 3, in <module>import urlgrabber as _urlgrabber
  File “/root/urlgrabber-3.9.1/urlgrabber/init.py”, line 54, in <module>from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread
ImportError: No module named grabber</module></module>

[afamnu]

any help to install the urlgrabber …??:(

[stephenw10]

What are you trying to accomplish here?

Steve

[afamnu]

python setup.py bdist_rpm    <====this command

[stephenw10]

Yes, but what does that python script do?

Where did you get it?

Steve

[afamnu]

i do  cd urlgrabber-3.9.1
and then
python setup.py bdist_rpm

after that this error appearing

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File “setup.py”, line 3, in <module>import urlgrabber as _urlgrabber
  File “/root/urlgrabber-3.9.1/urlgrabber/init.py”, line 54, in <module>from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread
ImportError: No module named grabber</module></module>

[stephenw10]

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.

Steve

but what i have to do ???

[stephenw10]

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

Steve

[afamnu]

http://urlgrabber.baseurl.org/download/urlgrabber-3.9.1.tar.gz  this version

[stephenw10]

@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.  ::)

Steve

[afamnu]

indeed i want to use the pfsense for Video cache, nd plz see this

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setup_VideoCache_with_Squid
if there’s another way to do that i wll be thankfull to show me how

im new to use pfsense this’s the first time to me :)… so thank you for your help

[Gloom]

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-*

[stephenw10]

Ah! Well now we are getting somewhere. 

Have you added all the python packages in that link?

Steve

[afamnu]

yes steve already i did it ,

#pkg_add -r python

pkg_add -r py25-bsddb

pkg_add -r py25-gdbm

pkg_add -r py25-sqlite3

pkg_add -r py25-tkinter

but  everything i did it manualy,
same as    pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/databases/py26-gdbm-2.6.6.tbz

[Gloom]

Those packages you added are based on python25 the urlgrabber package you are using is based on python26. So the first thing that springs to mind is your dependencies are the wrong  version. If you take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports and do a search for urlgrabber you can view the changes for each package and it’s dependencies.

Just to confuse things even further the most recent port/package, which also runs on FreeBSD 8.1 is based on python27 but I suggest you stick to the python26 tree.

See the response in the thread you created for that question. Cross posting can make it difficult to track a topic so if possible please try to avoid it

[stephenw10]

There is a actually FreeBSD package for videocache. I wonder why it was not used originally?

Steve

[afamnu]

where i can find it steve ??

[stephenw10]

It’s in the ftp archive same as the other packages:

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/videocache.tbz

I have never tried this package.I have never run videocache in any way. I can guess that there was a good reason why JimP didn’t use it in his how-to.

You’re welcome to try it though. 

Steve

@stephenw10:

I didn’t write the howto, I just posted it on the wiki. There is an attribution at the bottom of the doc listing its original writer. I’ve never used videocache.

[Gloom]

I think you’ll find that videocache is now a commercial product and not cheap

Ooops! Missed that.  :-[

thank you all my freind , now everything is working fine , and i found all the packages in the freebsd ftp sites (y)
