Need help creating my own pfsense package repository offline
-
Hi all,
I am running pfsense 2.0.3 offline, and I am trying to create my own package repository offline but without success.
I followed the instructions on http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository,
but it is still not working.I have an offline Apache server, I created the domain: www.pfsense-packages.net
I copied the downloaded pfsense folder to the website
I copied the downloaded packages folder to the websiteMy first question is where should the folder packages be on my web server, because
it is in my opinion not clear where the packages folder should be placed. I pasted it in the pfsense folder.I got an output (php array)in my web browser from the first test(Browse to http://yourserver/pfSense/test.php)
But I do not get an output in my web browser from the second test(Browse to http://yourserver/pfSense/pkg_tester.php)I also went to http://www.pfsense-packages.net/pfSense/pkg_mgr_settings.php
and entered the package repository URL (www.pfsense-packages.net) but I keep getting the error:
Unable to communicate with www.pfsense-packages.net. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and
that pfsense has functional internet connectivity.I can ping (www.)pfsense-packages.net
I can dig (www.)pfsense-packages.net
nslookup (www.)pfsense-packages.net is workingCan anybody help me out, can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Did you not use the git clone function?
I would assume something is missing if pkg_tester.php is not working.

Yes, I used the git clone function on a computer that I have online and
I copied the folders (pfsense and packages) to my offline computer. -
Some code not got the correct permissions?
Are you not seeing an error when you try to load pkg_tester.php? In the server logs?
I have done this but it was a while ago. I do remember having a number of difficulties getting it up and running but nothing specific to this.Steve
