Serviio

I decided to reinstall from scratch my FreeNAS setup to start over with Serviio 0.6. But this time, I seem not able to install any of the packages needed for Serviio (like Xtrans,xproto, ffmeg, etc.),... I always have problems of that type:

freenas:/# pkg_add -v -r xtrans
scheme: [ftp]
user: []
password: []
host: [ftp.freebsd.org]
port: [0]
document: [/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.3-release/Latest/xtrans.tbz]
---> ftp.freebsd.org:21
looking up ftp.freebsd.org
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ... xtrans.tbz: No address record
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.3-release/Latest/xtrans.tbz' by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed


What I find strange is that if I go on the freebsd ftp site, it's true that this link don't exist ! There is no 7.3 release files. Juste 7 or 7.4. Is there something I can do ? Can I tell FreeNAS to look at another ftp address ?

My Freenas version is the last 7 build...

anybody have an idea, Or have already seen this ?

thanks

Ok, I found how to redirect the dowload:

enter this before adding package
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeB ... es/Latest/

Hi,

Please forgive me for my newbie status but I am enjoying the journey of learning.

I too have this same problem. I had a freenas software crash and had to reinstall all the software. I installed the operating system and brought it back to it's previous state using a backup. I then went to reinstall serviio (which I had previously running seamlessly) and I can not install the packages. I am getting exactly the same error.

I am sorry but could someone please explain what is meant by the solution provided here? Could someone please give me step by step instructions to use the solution here in putty.

Your help will be greatly apprecisted

Result I get when run pkg_add command copied from putty below

Just this this in the console

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/7.4-RELEASE/packages/Latest/

then continue the installation

Thank you, thank you, thank you

worked first time.
