I am having trouble upgrading with the following error;

FreeNAS-11.2-STABLE - Release Train for FreeNAS 11.2 [release]

Manifest could not be found!: Automatic update check failed. Please check
system network settings. I can connect to other networks OK from the terminal and DNS seems OK using Google servers.

After searching the forums, I tried checking the update from a terminal:

Code:
root@freenas:~ # freenas-update -v check

I have been getting the same problem (Manifest could not be found) on FreeNAS-11.1-U7. When I try to report it at bugs.ixsystems.com I get error 500.

Looks like there was an issue with the bug tracker but it is now back up.

This solved itself! Got an email from my server this morning telling me there was an upgrade. Logged back in and installed it and after rebooting the problem was gone.
