    Hi,

    I'm trying to install MetaRepository on my Zyxel Nas540. I have created a web_prefix file in the admin/zy-pkgs/ folder

    Tried both: http://metarepository.tk/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/ and http://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/

    Changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8, rebooted my NAS a couple of times. But everytime i try to update my apps in the webinterface I get "Download List Fail".

      Unfortunately it's broken, at the moment. The hoster of metarepository.tk went out of business, and @shv is busy to set it up at another hoster. But it's not yet ready, and at the moment the http request is redirected to a https request, but fails to provide the right certificate.

      On a '540 you could try http://metarepo.tk/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/ , in which case the certificate is right. It is known not to work for an NSA325, due to unsupported encryption, but a NAS540 might support newer algorithms.

      I just tried, and metarepository.tk doesn't have a redirect to https anymore.

      Hi Mijself,

      I'm trying to load apps onto my 540. I've added the URL for your most recent repo ( http://metarepo.tk/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/ ), including the 5.21 folder, created a web_prefix file with that URL string, added the web_prefix file to the zy-pkgs folder in the admin folder.

      Went to the apps screen, refreshed Retrieve and still have the error Download Files failed.

      Trying to get the NFS app installed.

      thoughts?

      [quote]including the 5.21 folder[/quote]

      What do you mean? The web_prefix file should not contain NAS version/fw version, as the firmware package manager adds that to the url in web_prefix.
