Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied.

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied. 

same error. Why it is looking to download python3-3.6.15-1.ppc64 when I just installed it? 

Change all the other repo files (the ones that point to other than file:/// ) in repo.d to enabled=0

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Hmm, not sure my messge got posted. This could be a duplicate

Anyway, looks like things are out of sync.

Try rpm --rebuilddb and then try again.

Anyway, looks like things are out of sync.

Try rpm --rebuilddb and then try again.

same error. Why it is looking to download python3-3.6.15-1.ppc64 when I just installed it? 

Change all the other repo files (the ones that point to other than file:/// ) in repo.d to enabled=0

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied.

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

Try executing createrepo -v directory_of_your_baseurl_declaration

Then do a yum clean all and try again.

** note that directory_of_your_baseurl_declaration should be just the absolute directory path, not including the file:/// protocol declaration.

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied.

------------------------------

Although the ACS interface shows "yum-utils" 1.1.31-9, I can't find the createrepo cmd. I scanned the whole root IFS directory also for it. 

Try executing createrepo -v directory_of_your_baseurl_declaration

Then do a yum clean all and try again.

** note that directory_of_your_baseurl_declaration should be just the absolute directory path, not including the file:/// protocol declaration.

ok, i did that. I think the ACS tool when I issued the creation of the clone was supposed to update the repos.d to include my new IFS path. 

I updated that manually to 

baseurl=file:///...my ifs path.....they really don't make this easy by putting fragmented pieces of information scattered on different sites. 

but the node js install failed because it wanted python, so I installed python 3 first then came back to the nodes js install but still getting:

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied. 

------------------------------
Michael Cramer
------------------------------

I had installed the open source component from ACS, then issued the clone repo for offline use because certain of my partitions don't have internet access. I went back to another system and issued again the close repo for offline use with the default settings. All the rpms downloaded but then I get a dialog box saying MSGGEN005 - Internal Error.

java.lang.illegalstateexception: channel id=15 not registered because session is being closed. 

It hasn't been smooth on any partitions I've tried to connect to via acs to install this tool. Various errors from this one to authority issues not logged in the audit journals and I can't trace.  

This is wrong:

/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/yum install /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/rpm_repos/ibm/ppc64/nodejs14-14.19.1-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm

Just copy over the whole repo to your machine.

Create a repo file under repos.d where the baseurl is a pointer to a file as described in my previous message.

Then yum install the packages you want.

1-instead of having an ftp site or an http path in repo file in /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d , can't one of these file point to a local IFS path where the clone of the repo has been downloaded? 

2-on the cloning screen, there's an option I checked to "create nginx configuration files for serving this cloned repository to other IBM i systems". Where are those files created? 

on the link you sent me there's only: 

To summarize, the process of creating your own repository and hosting it for all your systems involves:

1. Run the ACS Clone Repo Tool, checking the "Create nginx configuration file" box

2. Start the nginx server by running the startServer/startServerBatch script

3. Configure endpoint systems

4. (optional) automate

Michael, things I don't understand in your message:

• a repo file to point to the IFS 
• where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

Hi Jack, 

I was able to create an offline repo on one of my systems but where does it drop these script files for starting nginx

also, it should have rewrote a repo file to point to the IFS listed above but it's not in there /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d

what's the syntax of one of these files to point to an IFS repo?  I'm guessing I can also put the whole containt of my offline repo to a savf and restore it on a different system if I didn't want to serve it thru

Hi, 

I'm trying to install Node.js on my iBM i without an internet connection. 

First, some partitions give me an error "you do not have sufficient authority" right after clicking yes to the key fingerprint. 

Then some partitions go further but when I try to install node.js from the list of available packages the ftp to the site 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/productdions/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml FTP error 550 access denied.

Michael, there may be multiple inconsistencies on your LPAR(s).
Some serious thought is required.

• What's your Java version.
• What OS level are you at?
• How are your PTFs?

... etc.

You've reached the limit, as I noted, that I can help you debug "via telepathy".
You may have to bring someone into your system to look around and see what's wrong.

I had installed the open source component from ACS, then issued the clone repo for offline use because certain of my partitions don't have internet access. I went back to another system and issued again the close repo for offline use with the default settings. All the rpms downloaded but then I get a dialog box saying MSGGEN005 - Internal Error.

java.lang.illegalstateexception: channel id=15 not registered because session is being closed. 

It hasn't been smooth on any partitions I've tried to connect to via acs to install this tool. Various errors from this one to authority issues not logged in the audit journals and I can't trace.  

This is wrong:

/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/yum install /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/rpm_repos/ibm/ppc64/nodejs14-14.19.1-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm        

Just /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/yum install nodejs14

Hmm, not sure my messge got posted. This could be a duplicate

Anyway, looks like things are out of sync.

Try rpm --rebuilddb and then try again.
