**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 11 02:59:57 2007
Apr 11 09:52:36 <Tyrhinis> hey all, am trying to use the existing thttpd webserver on my unslung slug. I run windows however and cannot edit /opt/etc/mythttpd.conf, access is denied. how do i get into these files to edit them
Apr 11 09:54:56 <barnseenio> are you sshd to the slug?
Apr 11 09:55:12 <barnseenio> or you cant edit via windows/samba?
Apr 11 09:56:59 <Tyrhinis> ok, will look up samba
Apr 11 09:57:07 <barnseenio> ?
Apr 11 09:57:15 <barnseenio> it was a question
Apr 11 09:58:15 <Tyrhinis> ah sorry
Apr 11 09:58:19 <Tyrhinis> i havent looked into samba
Apr 11 09:58:25 <Tyrhinis> am quite new at this
Apr 11 09:58:33 <Tyrhinis> just remember seeing it in faw
Apr 11 09:58:37 <Tyrhinis> faq
Apr 11 09:59:07 <barnseenio> how are you gettiung access denied?
Apr 11 09:59:33 <Tyrhinis> Also, I have made somewhat of a mistake. I have changed the port for Http access on the linksys settings to 8080, now I cant access the administration page
Apr 11 09:59:42 <Tyrhinis> any ideas?
Apr 11 10:00:21 <Reedy_Boy> cant get it on http://ipaddress:8080
Apr 11 10:00:28 <barnseenio> i dont use unslung, but isnt the liksys admin page defunct after youve unslung?
Apr 11 10:00:37 <Reedy_Boy> Nope
Apr 11 10:00:40 <Tyrhinis> ah well when I use windows explorer to navigate to the files
Apr 11 10:00:46 <Tyrhinis> it wont let me open or edit them
Apr 11 10:00:51 <Reedy_Boy> Unslung uses the default linksys firmware and gives extra functionality
Apr 11 10:01:03 <barnseenio> oh samba is enabled by default in unslung is it?
Apr 11 10:01:13 <Reedy_Boy> Yup, should be
Apr 11 10:01:52 <Tyrhinis> newp
Apr 11 10:02:10 <Reedy_Boy> i was going to say you could login to telnet/ssh
Apr 11 10:02:20 <Reedy_Boy> but i bet you havent got it redirected have you?
Apr 11 10:02:30 <Tyrhinis> Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Apr 11 10:02:40 <Tyrhinis> even when i specify 8080
Apr 11 10:02:46 <Reedy_Boy> Did you unsling it to the drive?
Apr 11 10:02:56 <Reedy_Boy> or just put the firmware on
Apr 11 10:03:54 <Tyrhinis> i can login to telnet
Apr 11 10:04:04 <Tyrhinis> im using winscp to log in to ssh
Apr 11 10:04:18 <Tyrhinis> yeap
Apr 11 10:04:22 <Tyrhinis> all thats done
Apr 11 10:04:38 <Tyrhinis> im just trying to set up a second thttpd web server
Apr 11 10:04:44 <Tyrhinis> have unslung it successfully
Apr 11 10:04:48 <Tyrhinis> have openssh on it
Apr 11 10:05:00 <Reedy_Boy> ah, ok
Apr 11 10:05:10 <Reedy_Boy> thats good at least
Apr 11 10:05:22 <Reedy_Boy> you should be able to get the files
Apr 11 10:05:28 <Reedy_Boy> which share are you trying to get at?
Apr 11 10:05:50 <Tyrhinis> if i could edit the files, i could edit thttpd.conf and change the port back to 80
Apr 11 10:05:54 <Tyrhinis> i gues
Apr 11 10:06:16 <Reedy_Boy> do it through ssh
Apr 11 10:06:28 <Reedy_Boy> thats why i was wondering if you had telnet/ssh
Apr 11 10:07:07 <Reedy_Boy> need a hand doing it?
Apr 11 10:07:32 <Tyrhinis> ok i can still access all of the files over my network
Apr 11 10:07:40 <Tyrhinis> files are stored in admin 1
Apr 11 10:07:46 <Tyrhinis> thats where i unslung to
Apr 11 10:07:58 <Reedy_Boy> but i bet you cant edit the config files over the share, ive tried before and it doesnt save
Apr 11 10:08:16 <Tyrhinis> edit the file?
Apr 11 10:08:36 <Tyrhinis> do what through ssh mate?
Apr 11 10:08:40 <Reedy_Boy> thttpd.conf
Apr 11 10:08:42 <Tyrhinis> how do i edit the file through ssh
Apr 11 10:08:53 <Reedy_Boy> need a text editor

Apr 11 11:03:05 <Tyrhinis> i have another question if you arent too sick of me
Apr 11 11:03:09 <Tyrhinis> lol
Apr 11 11:03:37 <Tyrhinis> is there any way i can paste .html files into where ive installed then slug operating system
Apr 11 11:03:49 <Tyrhinis> say, i run a web server and want to put index.html there
Apr 11 11:06:08 <Reedy_Boy> if you browse to it in ssh
Apr 11 11:06:20 <Reedy_Boy> touch index.html
Apr 11 11:06:25 <Reedy_Boy> nano -w index.html
Apr 11 11:06:29 <Reedy_Boy> and paste it in
Apr 11 11:07:23 <Tyrhinis> in putty
Apr 11 11:07:51 <Tyrhinis> cool
Apr 11 11:07:53 <Tyrhinis> thanks
Apr 11 11:07:54 <Reedy_Boy> yaa
Apr 11 11:07:59 <Reedy_Boy> touch creates the file
Apr 11 11:09:19 <Tyrhinis> ah kk cool thanks
Apr 11 11:09:37 <Tyrhinis> what if i want to drop an image into those folders
Apr 11 11:10:54 <Reedy_Boy> errm
Apr 11 11:11:02 <Reedy_Boy> suppose FTP upload or similar?
Apr 11 11:13:27 <Tyrhinis> newp
Apr 11 11:13:33 <Tyrhinis> no permission to upload
Apr 11 11:13:43 <Reedy_Boy> hmm
Apr 11 11:15:45 <drif> or via scp
Apr 11 11:16:26 <Reedy_Boy> Just tried FTP, logging in with details from web admin, i can create files and stuff... so surely you can upload
Apr 11 11:16:30 <drif> winscp is good enough win client (if ever needed) to do the task
Apr 11 11:17:47 <Tyrhinis> connecting via scp
Apr 11 11:18:04 <Reedy_Boy> I've got to go out
Apr 11 11:18:09 <Reedy_Boy> Bye
Apr 11 12:35:16 <Lunar_Lamp> <Reedy_Boy> if you browse to it in ssh
Apr 11 12:35:16 <Lunar_Lamp> <Reedy_Boy> touch index.html
Apr 11 12:35:16 <Lunar_Lamp> <Reedy_Boy> nano -w index.html
Apr 11 12:35:16 <Lunar_Lamp> <Reedy_Boy> and paste it in
Apr 11 12:35:28 <Lunar_Lamp> You can omit the "touch" there.
Apr 11 12:35:40 <Lunar_Lamp> You just nano -w index.html and save itwhen you exit :-)
Apr 11 12:36:43 <drif> was bit wondering that myself as well ;)
Apr 11 12:39:07 <Lunar_Lamp> Also, a little tip, add to your ~/.bashrc "alias nano = nano -w" to mean you don't need tp type the -w option each time.
Apr 11 12:39:20 <Lunar_Lamp> I always use the -w option, so I just have it in the alias.
Apr 11 12:40:14 <Lunar_Lamp> alias nano='nano -w'
Apr 11 12:40:25 <Lunar_Lamp> ^^ that's the way it should be, not as I said just above.
Apr 11 12:49:48 <drif> yeah, but I do that automaticly anyway :D
Apr 11 12:50:00 <drif> so it would just become nano -w -w
Apr 11 12:50:49 <Lunar_Lamp> My favourite alias is recall='history | grep'
Apr 11 12:51:30 <drif> lunar: although I would do it by adding set nowrap to /opt/etc/nanorc
Apr 11 12:52:34 <Lunar_Lamp> drif, true, that's probably a superior solution.
Apr 11 12:53:30 <drif> had to tinker a bit with nanorc :D when confronted something unexpectable behaviour 
Apr 11 12:54:16 <drif> tried to edit linuxrc within miniroot.gz :D and damn nano saved it as mac-format - all the other files were recognized correctly
Apr 11 12:54:50 <drif> took me whole day to realise that - was just wondering why the pxe boot got broken
Apr 11 12:56:23 <Lunar_Lamp> Hehe, I haven't had any problems with nano - though I'm now using debian on my slug.
Apr 11 12:56:36 <drif> me neither before that moment
Apr 11 13:00:30 <drif> which version of nano?
Apr 11 13:00:47 <drif> probs occured with GNU nano version 1.3.12
Apr 11 19:41:09 <FrostyJack> Would anybody have a minute to help a newbie with a problem?
Apr 11 19:46:09 <blaster8> what's your problem?
Apr 11 19:47:02 <caplink811-log> well, FrostyJack just characterise your problem, and someone may have a solution
Apr 11 19:47:14 <FrostyJack> This is the second time I've tried to set up my slug.  I've put the Debian firmware onto it and it boots up OK beeping 3 times.  The problem is that I can't SSH to it.  I'm using fixed IP with an address of 192.168.1.77.  The netmask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1 (my WRT54G router).  I've left the DNS server blank.  When the slug boots up I try to SSH in using the command "ssh installer@192.168.1.77"
Apr 11 19:49:10 <blaster8> Always a nuisance, this bit, in my experience
Apr 11 19:49:17 <caplink811-log> but basic networking, akak ping slug_ip works?
Apr 11 19:49:17 <blaster8> does the slug respond to ping?
Apr 11 19:50:08 <FrostyJack> Doesn't respond to ping no.
Apr 11 19:50:30 <blaster8> hmm
Apr 11 19:50:35 <FrostyJack> I used the unofficial image with the ethernet driver but I'm still not convinced it's working.
Apr 11 19:50:46 <blaster8> does the ethernet light flash
Apr 11 19:51:13 <FrostyJack> It's on at the slug yeah.  Is that what you mean?
Apr 11 19:51:26 <blaster8> well, it should flash with activity from time to time
Apr 11 19:51:39 <FrostyJack> Let me just double check that.
Apr 11 19:51:48 <blaster8> try connecting a computer directly to the NSLU2 and pinging the IP then
Apr 11 19:57:22 <FrostyJack> The odd flash from the led.  I'll give that a go.  Any ideas in general or is that a bit vague?
Apr 11 20:01:20 <FrostyJack> Have to run guys.  Thanks a lot for your help.
