Lost MetaRepository on NSA320

After a long time logged in to the admin page.
Got there the message to upgrade MetaRepository version 13 to 15.
Acknowledged the upgrade but apparently it failed. Refreshing the admin page it again asked to upgrade.
Then put the recent web_prefix file in the NSA320/admin/zy-pkgs directory, hit the Retrieve button, the package list got blank and no MetaRepository upgrade, it keeps asking to upgrade.
After rebooting the NAS, only the original Zyxel packages show up, no MetaRepository.

What goes wrong, what am I doing wrong ?

    I think the problem is that nas-central.org is down, which made the upgrade of MR fail, which caused the firmware to disable/remove it.

    You can reinstall MR from it's new host: https://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/

    Thanks Mijzelf,

    I found the new host before and tried to reinstall from that with the prefix mentioned there (I called it the 'recent' web_prefix).
    That didn't work.
    On the NSA itself I indeed see in the MetaRepository config file the old reference to the nas-central.org
    In the directory NSA302\admin\zy-pkgs\MetaRepository\NSA320\4.70\zypkg I see however a file called MetaRepository_20181001_arm_015.zpkg.
    The same in the directory \\NSA320\admin\zy-pkgs\MetaRepository\http___downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org_Users_Mijzelf_zypkg-repo_

    It looks like the install script gets confused in someway.

    When you put the 'recent' web_prefix on the box, does it not show you a MetaRepository for download? At that point there are no scripts involved yet, only the firmware package manager is pointed to another repo.
    Which firmware version are you running?

    The package system on the ZyXEL's was fragile, and I don't know the status of the 320.

    I'm running V4.70(AFO.3), I guess it's the latest one.

    I also found the next (first upgrade attemt looking at the date ?) log of ZYPKG_INFO.tgz.log, maybe it gives you a clue:

    It is still referring to nas-central ??

    New information:
    I did the following trick:
    1. /usr/local/zy-pkgs/etc/init.d/MetaRepository enable
    2. /usr/local/zy-pkgs/etc/init.d/MetaRepository start
    3. Hit the Retrieve button
    4. Eureka: got MetaRepository and other installed packages back
    However it is the older v13 MetaRepository, not the v15 version.
    The web_prefix file is changed to http://localhost:59999/

    The log shows the next:

    Change in the webinterface https://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/ in https://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/fw4/, and probably you should uncomment the ZyXEL repo (not really necessary, but now you won't get any ZyXEL updates. If any).

    If that still fails, change https in http. Don't know if the 320 supports the current https encryption.

    I changed it also in the MetaRepository page and got this:

    No, in the webinterface.

    This should not have failed, as that file exists. But as firmware 4.70 is meanwhile something like 6 years old, it's not surprising when it fails in the TLS handshake. For that reason, use http.

    I think that's because you omitted the ZyXEL repository.

    Old thread I know but similar issue :   script seems to run (I've adjusted the mirrors and https  setting) folders are created and  repo lists downloaded but retrieving list from internet spinner goes on for ever - the message line on the packages page says  "Attribute name not complete" in red, web_prefix file is updated,  manually navigating to //NAS-IP:59999  gives "/i-data/md0/admin/zy-pkgs/MetaRepository/ Not Found"  message.

    NAS is NSA325 (v1) with     NSA325_4.81(AAAJ.1) firmware  - very old i know

    Log is below
