So in the newest Trixbox CE Image up on sourceforge (2.6.0.18) - the one that has the GUI improvements/FreePBX fork, the module admin is broken, and is pulling from 'update.trixbox.org' - presumably part of the new fork.

The only problem is... It doesnt work!

It was serving some packages to me last night, but left out a few critical ones (such as Phonebook) and today was not returning anything at all, tcpdump revealing that the URL it was hitting was returning 404.

So, in collaboration with the guys @ schmoozecom, I give you a fix:

Run this from your Trixbox CLI:

find /var/www/html/admin -type f -exec sed -i 's/update.trixbox.org/mirror.freepbx.org/g' {} \;

This will change the freepbx interface to use the freepbx mirror instead of trixbox's.

Surely this may cause some unrest, but, it fixes the problem.

So, there you are! Enjoy..

Doing this will break the system if you do a framework or core update and cause other features to fail down the road.

I expect that it will of course break further updates and what not, I'll have to try again when i go to work again tomorrow - but at the time of writing, and the entire day previous, the update site was not working as it should have and left my new install in an unfinished state.

Just thought i'd share my findings for a temporary bandaid with the others :)

Problem downloading Modules at trixbox 2.6 version
Tue, 07/01/2008 - 5:49pm

I'm having the same problem after installing 2.6 version.

I also can ping the name: update.trixbox.org from the BOX, so it's not a DNS related problem.

So at this point, what you recommend Kerry?

I typically maintain my own module repositories...

In previous Trixboxes, pre-2.6.x.x, only one file had to be edited in order to point to my own web server containing the necessary xml file and modules.

Can't see to find that file anymore under 2.6.x.x...

Question:

How do I now go about pointing the module admin to my own repository from now on after I have updated my repository with the latest xml and modules from update.trixbox.org?

Do I have to do a /etc/hosts file hack or something to fool the machine?

Want a simple KISS non-band-aided way to go about it....

Thanks!

Module admin
Wed, 10/08/2008 - 2:48pm

I'm getting the same problem with 2.6.1.12. If I had a problem with this in the past then I would switch from the network LAN to a spare DSL connection. Things would work out fine. This time the problem still happens with either connection.

Is there a way to manually add modules? I don't mind trying a longer route. Any thing that works would be fine with me. Right now I only have a basic set of modules.

I can ping update.trixbox.org. Yum works fine.

I also get this error: "Warning: Cannot connect to online repository (update.trixbox.org). Online modules are not available"

trixbox v2.6.1.13
PBXconfig 2.4.0

any fixes? the PC has been upgraded (rebuilt) from an older version of trixbox which had no problems with this... anyone?
