IBM i Global

Hi

Perhaps the problem is that your PC cannot connect to the Internet because some restriction (i.e., in ACS, you cannot specify a proxy).

You can try to download bootstrap package and install the open source environment offline

Offline Install Instructions (without ACS)

Dear Alejando

Did you follow steps described in the following Tech Note?  Getting started with Open Source Package Management in IBM i ACS at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/getting-started-open-source-package-management-ibm-i-acs      

If your IBM i server is not connected to the internet, follow these offline installation instructions instead: https://www.seidengroup.com/php-documentation/offline-installation-of-communityplus-php/    .

If you already have an open source repository on an IBM i server and want to clone it to another, here is how to do it: How to use ACS Open Source Package Management to Clone the IBM i Open Source Repository and Share it with other Systems at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-use-acs-open-source-package-management-clone-ibm-i-open-source-repository-and-share-it-other-systems        

Thanks Martín - my PC is connected to the internet, in fact I was able to update packages for two other systems of the same customer, but this system did not have the environment set up and that is where this is failing. 

Thanks Satid - yes, I had seen those docs and as Martín also suggested, I saw the option to perform an offline installation and clone another system's repo, but I thought I'd try to troubleshoot this first and find out what is failing exactly.

What is this problematic system compared to the other two? Is it a production system while the other two are non-production?   If so, a Firewall can be a factor that causes your current issue.   

Correct Satid, this is a production system and I am having the network/firewall guys check if there is any difference in that aspect. In any case, I am too anxious and I already manually set up the environment offline. 

One thing I had forgotten to mention is that bootstrap.sh and bootstrap.tar.Z were already in the system, I didn't have to download them, and they had creation dates/times of the very first installation attempt. So probably these were downloaded then but there is/was something else wrong during the installation. 

Same here (brand new & up-to-date V7R5).

Looking at ACS dump, looks like a certificate problem.
