Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/vim.tbz

This was my first encounter with problem while working in freebsd after doing fresh install.I was trying to install vim in freebsd by using the command pkg_add -r vim
I got this below given Error:

Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/vim.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/vim.tbz' by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed

If we read the above given Error message,”File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)” . The error itself says there is problem in site or site path.

So I checked it by opening the web browser and found the given below Page Not found error

To fix this issue I set the environment variable

The correct URL I am using for repo is ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/.

freebsd# echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
(Because it is C shell, I am using command setenv , if it is bash then we have to use export command)


setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/

echo $PACKAGESITE

Now install the package

pkg_add -r -v vim
