I tried to use local IPS server to test building and installing some packages, following guidelines from here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris
I did: pfexec zfs create -o compression=on rpool/ips pfexec mkdir /rpool/ips/repo pfexec svcadm disable pkg/server pfexec svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root=/rpool/ips/repo pfexec svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/port=10001 pfexec svcadm refresh pkg/server pfexec svcadm enable pkg/server pfexec svcadm restart pkg/server pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://localhost:10001 local This however didn't work. http://localhost:10001 doesn't open and set-publisher failed: pkg: The origin URIs for 'local' do not appear to point to a valid pkg server. Please check the server's address and client's network configuration. Additional details: Unable to contact valid package server: http://localhost:10001/ Encountered the following error(s): Transport errors encountered when trying to contact depot server. Reported the following errors: 1: Framework error: code: 7 reason: couldn't connect to host URL: 'http://localhost:10001'. (happened 3 times) 2: Too many retryable errors encountered during transfer. URL: http://localhost:10001 Count: 4 What can be wrong with the local IPS server and how can it be verified? Thanks, Hillel. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
