Plugins setup: An Error Occurred!

[slobberybeast]

I'm in the same boat, the plugins are only working manualy started in the jail like this:
/usr/local/sbin/minidlna -R -u dlna &
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd &

I'm not even sure how to start them like that.....Do you do that from the shell window? How do I go about getting into the JAIL to start them manually?

# jls
Find the jail id
# jexec <jailid> csh

I am in your boat except I don't have IP conflict.

Upgraded to 8.2.0 Beta 4
Followed all the steps (ZFS volume, 2 datasets, ip address) and when the Jail in being created - I get "An error has occurred" and the plugin cannot be started from Control Services.

Any help will be appreciated. Even if you can point me to where the log file is that can give more info regarding the exact nature of the error.

I'm in the same boat. No errors shown, apart from a brief message on the UI indicating "An error has occurred". Console shows no problems, but activation fails with errors on the console:
"Jun 23 10:41:20 freenas notifier: jexec: jail "ifconfig" not found
Jun 23 10:41:20 freenas notifier: jexec: jail "ifconfig" not found
Jun 23 10:41:20 freenas notifier: jexec: jail "route" not found"

Ideas?

Installed firefly, minidlna, and transmission. All up and running, however the settings icons have disappeared from the services tree. How can I get them back? Must I uninstall and reinstall?

I figured out what was wrong... It turns out that the temporary location to which the PBI is loaded did not have correct permissions assigned. I had given the location a custom user and group.

Perhaps it would be good to include this as a prerequisite? I had the same problem when upgrading to BETA-4 I think, but there seems to be no legible error about it. I ended up using the ISO.

Hi

Thanks for the tip - worked for me as well. You have to store the downloaded *.PBI and *.SHA files in a location that FreeNAS has priviliges. The easiest solution is to use a volume already created in FreeNAS.

That worked for me - got Firefly and miniDLNA installed - now to configure and start using.
