5N Apps won't install via Dashboard

I can no longer get any applications to install via the Dashboard (they all uninstalled fine). I know how to manually install the apps and have done so in the past but I don’t like the complexity of it and want the simplicity that Drobo promises of installing via the dashboard.

I have read other posts and have attempted the delete the file “/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/.servicerc” and reboot method twice with no success. I’ve even deleted any other hidden files associated to app installs within that folder.

I’ve reinstalled the firmware manually a couple of times. I’m hoping someone here can help without me having to reset my drobo completely (considering a drobo pack can be moved to a new unit, i’m guessing that i can power down, remove drives, reset to factory, power down, re-insert drives and not lose my data)

Dashboard Version: 2.7.0 [77097]
Drobo Firmware: 3.3.0 [8.75.76511]

I think installs were working before I installed a new router, but not sure why my router might block Drobo from downloading an app.

Log from droboappsLL.log when i use the Get Diags in Dashboard. I don’t know how to “check /mnt/DroboFS/System/tmp/locale.YL1q3X/wget.log for more information” as it says to in the log.

I think installs were working before I installed a new router, but not sure why my router might block Drobo from downloading an app.

Given that wget is failing; I wonder if your router is blocking outbound FTP connections. What router do you now have?

Netgear R6400. I’ll have to check the routing rules when i get home, but it’s mostly factory defaults.

Looking at other Drobo logs and found that the gateway is pointing to the wrong IP. This is a very likely cause of the not downloading but i won’t be able to confirm until later today.

(maybe someone nicknamed the gateway as “gandalf” and hes saying to the dashboard, “you shall not pass” :slight_smile:

Updated drobo network settings and installs succeded[hr]
Maybe in the future Drobo can add better error messages…

which settings did you change? and to what? I am having similar problems

Thanks in advance
Kevin

Change from Static IP (Manually assign IP address) to DHCP (automatically assign IP settings)
