Solved pkg sight forbidden

[userxbw]

Index of /FreeBSD:12:amd64/

latest and quarterly are forbidden , I just did a fresh install of Fbsd 12 and am getting a forbidden when trying to install pkg, and in ports it failed to build. fresh port extract so yeah, it failed.

did this
from post #35 fm MiNi FaQ on pkg in that link below.

FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest" }

and it gave me some "i do not know what you're talking about" error, indecating that the web addess is wrong is all. I do not at the moment know what ${ABI} value is ...

A mini-FAQ on pkg

WOW! Great thread! To summarize I learned not only what I learned here but: - Ports with the default options gets you the same options as a binary package - poudriere is port-based and creates packages for distribution, so it is a massive time saver if you have multiple similarly configured...

Tried using https instead of http?

EDIT: default .conf file uses http, so it shouldn't be the issue, sorry.

Anyway, the link works for me, opening it in browser.

I went back and ran this and echo'ed each line into a file then mounted my linux partiton copied it over and in Linux to post it. I removed that mod I did / removed the file from the mini faq suggestion then here...

excuse my ignorance, but what file and where is it, so I can edit it? I do assum it is a pkg conf file located somewhere on the system.

can't mount ufs in linux to edit it then boot into it to check it.

found this

pkg0.cyb.FreeBSD.org

then clicking on the

This server's package sets:
FreeBSD:12:amd64

link to that sight(?) it comes up forbidden too

I tried a few of them and they are all the same.

notice the leading address pkg0.cyb

Can you ping the URL's?

 

[userxbw]

Can you ping the URL's?

yes, I even portsnap extract the system

I think if I change that mini fqa file suggestion.

http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/
from this FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest" }
to that
FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http:/pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest" }

I am going to try that now.

 

[userxbw]

Okay this is where I am at now....
in

To configure pkg(8) to pick up the 'latest' packages instead of 'quarterly', create a file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:

FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest" }

that got me pkg update to work, BUT...
I can search the pkg search (something) it shows up then to install it, I get this.

pkg: http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/xorg-7.7_3.txz: Not Found

I did how ever navigate the web page

http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/release_1/All/
and found xorg

so In assumtion I'd have to change that config to read this?

FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/${ABI}/release_1" }

then when it changes I got to update that whereas this was a never had to do that before situation. or is that release_1 before the stable release?

 

[userxbw]

it just started working, the sight, after a bit, it unclogged itself I guess, using that set up above.
FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http:/pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest" }
