[HowTo] Get a HeadStart on a WL-500gP

[hypernetics]

Hi Raas
Its great to see you've creted a new image!.... Is it best to update to Olegs latest firmware before upgrading to this image??

Also... I see that you have included AmpJuke in the image. Can this audio be output through a USB sound card?
I am hoping to get a music sever running on my wl500gP and access this over the local LAN/wifi and control it with a pocket pc.

Something like this (web link): http://translate.google.com/translat...F8&sl=fr&tl=en

This guy is using 'MPD' - Music Player Daemon & and 'wymypy' as a client front end.
Would Ampjuke do something similar??

And how would I get my Asus router to recognise my external USB sound card?

Many Thanks and keep up the great work!

Yes, the image is intended for oleg v x.x.x.10 version (the latest)

I see that you have included AmpJuke in the image. Can this audio be output through a USB sound card?

No, at least not that I know of, it's an mp3 web-database which provides easy access to your music through a web interface.


There should be info in this board on how to play mp3 on your asus, but that's not what HeadStart is about.

Great job, man!
There is some chance to use again vsftpd?

[Zapt]

how can i fix it?

[raas]

Great job, man!

Sure, remove proftpd and install vsftpd (I guess)

how can i fix it?

Fix what? vsftpd?, as above

[Zapt]

I just opened up the port for transmission. I double checked through a online portscanner and there is only ftp open.

FTP is still open to the Internet and I just opened up the port for transmission... Did you open the ftp port by default? How can I fix this?
I already checked the webinterface and post-firewall file.

[raas]

Did you open the ftp port by default?.

I'm not doing anything with the firewall in the asus, because I'm running in Access Point only mode (as the tutorial states). In this mode are ports are 'open' because it just acts as a lan-client.

Search the board for 'iptables' this should help you.

Hi Raas,

First thanx for the great job! It took me only 2 hours to get the whole Oleg firmware upgrade (some glitches while uploading) and the Headstart II mounted!!! If I would have had to do this on my own, I would probably be celibrating my 88th birthday instead of my 30th...

(if you want to see what's running now, before customizing, take a look at http://192.168.1.1:8082 (change the ip address, if you don't use the standard ip address) it will take you to the homepage where most applications are accessible.))

I use the standard ip address, but I get an error in my browser. Can you help me?

hi alias88 (lee )

hmm... seems that the webserver isn't running.
could you describe the error (404, not found, or something else?)
(is samba running?, can you access the harddrive from your pc?)

check with 'df' if your disk/partitions are mounted.

check with 'top' or 'ps' or 'ps axf' which programs are running, there should be a process like lighttpd (the webserver). if there's none, check if your services are starting up when rebooted


Execute:

Code:

nano /usr/local/sbin/post-mount

Example: (last line has been decommented -> # removed, so the script does execute)

Code:

#! /bin/sh
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

save to flash

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

Good luck!

[alias88]

Hi Raas,

thanx for the swift reaction... I checked if lighttpd was running and it wasn't. So i checked the post-mount file with nano. And the only difference i could find was

#! /bin/sh
/Opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

instead of

#! /bin/sh
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

After reboot the webserver was running and I can reach http://192.168.1.1:8082/

Am I right to say that you have to be aware of case-sensitivity?

Hi Raas,

Greetz, Alias88

Hi Alias88,

Yes you're right. *nix systems are case-sensitive.
This also applies to the url's you request throught the webserver.

http://192.168.1.1:8082/CGI-BIN will not be found, as http://192.168.1.1:8082/cgi-bin will be found.

Glad to hear that it is working now !!

[raas]

What is the password for ados? admin:asus not work!!!

Sorry, my bad, the password I've entered in this is the one which I use for test/dev. environments.


try

admin:logitech

(this should work, as I just connected my HeadStart drive and tried it.)

btw, jenne, thanks for the heads-up, I've updated the tutorial)

[Fontinhas]

I'm trying to install HeadStart, but the download links aren't working. It seems that the files were deleted or something. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance
