Error while installing ipkg package manager

umeshraghavan79

Hi,

I need to install Python for my application and for which ipkg is required. However, I am getting the below error  while running the command.

root@axcf2152:/opt/plcnext/# wget -O - http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/optware-ng/bootstrap/buildroot-armeabihf-bootstrap.sh | sh

wget: bad address 'ipkg.nslu2-linux.org'

Is there an alternative server to download ipkg? if not, any other package manager that I could use to install Python on AXC F 2152

Regards,

Umesh

This looks like your PLC is not able to resolve the DNS name ipkg.nslu2-linux.org.

Are you able to ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org from the PLC command line?

No, I  was not able to ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org from command line.

Ok ... I am able to ping that host from my PLC here ... so it seems to be online ...

Are you able to ping any other hosts, like www.google.com from the command line of the PLC ?

no, I am not able to ping any outside hosts. Is it an issue with DHCP?

Please check that the Default gateway address in the PLC is the address of your internet router, and that your router is connected to the internet.

Hi Martin,

 

The issue is resolved. The gateway was not configured. I am able to download the package manager now. Thanks .

Hi Martin,

I have the same problem. When I try to execute the command "wget -O - http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/optware-ng/bootstrap/buildroot-armeabihf-bootstrap.sh | sh" I have the "wget: bad address 'ipkg.nslu2-linux.org'" response.

In the past, for internal tests I have executed the command several time and it always worked fine. Now is the first time that I have this bad response.

I am able to ping google.com from the CLI. Can you help me?

Hello,

Are you able to ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org from the PLC?

Some users have had problems copying and pasting this command from the article - it seems to include some phantom characters that aren't visible. So please try typing the command manually instead.
