Release creation - The resource was not found

Hi,
We are evaluating Octopus tools and as a part of this POC wanted to create simple deployment process of one nuget package.
I’m running freshly installed 2.0.8.977 server and tentacles.
Defined one local folder on Octopus server as NuGet packages feed,when tested shows packages in it successfully.
This feed includes one manually created NuGet package.
Deployment process process includes one step of “Deploy a NuGet package” from this feed.

Now, when creating new release the package is listed and can be choosen, BUT after release is saved there is
"The resource ‘’ was not found." message in the Packages section.

When trying to deploy such release there are errors as following :

Download package FXCalculation 1.0.0.1 from NuGet feed Local folder feed on applicable machines
14:24:46Fatal
Operation: Download FXCalculation on https://10.100.104.13:10933/ failed with error: The package could not be downloaded from NuGet. If you are getting a package verification error, try switching to a Windows File Share package repository to see if that helps.

The package could not be downloaded from NuGet. If you are getting a package verification error, try switching to a Windows File Share package repository to see if that helps.

Is there some specific definition to set up a feed as a local folder / file share exept using local path in URL field of feed properties ?

Any other suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks

Hi - a couple of things come to mind; given it is a Windows file share, is there any chance a case sensitivity issue is involved? Also, does the account that the Tentacle service is running under have access to the file share hosting the packages?

Hope this helps,
Nick

Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for your reply.
The folder defined in the feed section with exact case as it appears in file system (D:\OctopusFeed)
The feed credentials , and OctopusDeploy windows service running with local user, belonging to Administrator group, which has full access to the feed folder.

In the process step its defined as - Octopus Server will download the package, then securely upload it to the Tentacles

My tentacle are configures in “listening mode”, do they need any additional access to Octopus server besides tcp 10933 (used default) connection form server to tentacle ?

P.S. Just to mention - Octopus server runs on win server 2012, tentacle on win 2003 sp2

Thanks

The issues was resolved eventually…
The NuGet package was corrupted, thats all…Not all Metadata fields were filled out.
(like Title, Owners,Language, Tags…)

Thanks , you can close this thread

Great catch! Thank you so much for the follow up, I’m sure it will be very useful information to have next time this occurs.
