entware install help

[G F]

I'm having issues trying to install entware.
I have followed the install wiki and had no luck and also searched through the forums.
I have RT-AC68U running 380.58
- Download Master is not installed
- SSH and JFFS enabled
- I have tried formatting the USB in Ext2 and Ext3
- I have tried resetting the router back to factory defaults.
admin@RT-AC68U-8858:/tmp/home/root# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 28.3M 28.3M 0 100% /
devtmpfs 124.8M 0 124.8M 0% /dev
tmpfs 124.9M 20.8M 104.1M 17% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock4 62.8M 2.0M 60.8M 3% /jffs
/dev/sda1 1.8G 2.8M 1.7G 0% /tmp/mnt/sda1

installing Entware gets to the following line and just sits there.. 'Info: Modifying start scripts'
admin@RT-AC68U-8858:/tmp/home/root# entware-setup.sh
Info: This script will guide you through the Entware installation.

Has anyone got any ideas.

Thanks

Had the same issue. Turned out that entware wouldn't install with my vpn on. I had to disable it to get the latest entware installed.

Thanks for the idea tsi08.
I am using OpenVPN Client 1 for a VPN, and I have since disabled it but unfortunately it didn't help.

Still sitting there on 'Info: Modifying start scripts'

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Some Asian networks are blocked after DDoS atack. Entware installation will fail for such ip's.
Find a working proxy and setup wget to use it.

I'm located in Australia on a home internet connection so I would hope that my IP isn't blocked.

Any tips about how to setup wget to use a proxy?

I had same problem, resolved it as mentioned above by changing my IP.
Server must be blocking certain IP's.

Thanks gents that put me on the right track. my workaround to getting it installed was to connect my android phone to the router and tether its internet connection using 3G.

It allowed the install to complete. Thanks again for your help.

Disable your openvpn client, reboot and install entware. That should fix it.
