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

[herbalizer]

Hi,

this is prob. because you've changed your ip address.
Samba only accepts clients from 192.168.1.x range
and lighttpd relies on a php parser which is on 192.168.1.1

for lighttpd do:

nano /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and look up the address: 192.168.1.1 and change to yours (10.69.226.13). (it's in the fastcgi.server)

for samba do:

nano /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf

and add the following to global:

[global]

	hosts allow = 10.69.226.

or set with http://10.69.226.13:901 and use the original login/password you've set in the asus original config pages.

HTH.

Rass thank you for your prompt response. All those dummies like my self, must really tire you.

the problem although still exists...

I did what you told me to do, but nothing changed. I still cant get the 10.69.226.13:8082 to apear.

I also changed back the original address to 192.168.1.1 and tried to access the 192.168.1.1:8082. Still nothing! The address 192.168.1.1 works with default oleg webpage, but when i put the 8082 port i get the error page...

What could be wrong?

Any ideas are welcomed... because i really need to download torrents directly from the usb disk.

Is there a run around for that, because samba and ftp works great with default oleg software?


Basically what i m also asking is, if there is a way to download torrents to the usb hdd (that is attached to the asus wl500gpv2) with default oleg firmware!

Also i cant access the 10.69.226.13:901 to configure samba...

Thanks in advance and i hope that there are not many question to be answered...

Hi Herbalizer..

Not tiring at all.. I most of the time feel like aa n00b myself, so that's no problem.

Have you restarted the asus after you've changed the config files?
In order to work properly, 'services' have to be (re)loaded with new config.

If all you want to do is have oleg's firmware and download torrents, I strongly suggest WENGI's setup how-to.. this includes stuff for downloading torrents.

Do i need to use the 1.9.2.7.9 in order for this tutorial to work?

Will that tutorial work with the 1.9.2.7.10 firmware?

If not, where do i find the 1.9.2.7.9 firmware?

again thanks...

Hi,

the tut. will work with the .10 version.

[herbalizer]

Hello again...

I see that you say to download the mnt.tar.gz to the /opt folder and the opt.tar.gz to the/mnt folder. Is that right, or is it the other way around?

That is for the head start 2 tutorial... and not for Wengi's.

[raas]

Hi,

yes, that is right.

opt.tar.gz is downloaded/stored in /mnt because it is extracted to /opt
mnt.tar.gz is downloaded/stored in /opt becasue it is extracted to /mnt

otherwise the packages would extract to the place where they are stored, and I don't know if that works 100%. That's because.

so, from the package on /mnt extract everyting to /opt and vice versa.

it'll work if you follow the directions.

[herbalizer]

Rass THANK YOU for all the advises you have given me.

Finally i got (web) transmission up and running at full speed
I followed the wengi tutorial and i have samba, ftp and torrents up and running.

Since you have been so nice to me i decided to give something back. I 'm going to translate Wengi's tutorial and your tutorial (head start 2) in to Greek. Who knows... maybe there will be a Greek subforum for this excellent forum one day.

I also would like (i must) to thank Wengi!

Again thank you guys. You will soon receive a pm from me

Hi,

Good to hear it's working!
Enjoy your Asus, and additions to the forum are always welcome.

edit:
now it works, i don't know why, but it works..

I have another question, where can I change IP address 192.168.1.1 to my real in AmpJuke ?



orig: I have installed on my router this great "all in one" package, but in ados only 1 download is active, others are "on queue". In preferences I have changed simultaneous files, apply settings but still only one file is downloading. and after the download is finished, other "on queue" file doesn't start..

anyone have an idea what is wrong?

[raas]

Hi,

Since the files have been downloaded 4700+ times , bandwith became an issue with my free provider. Besides that, the website administrator offered me my own place to host my files on this great forum a while a go.

you will find it here: http://files.wl500g.info/asus/custom/raas/
the v10 folder you will see is in line with oleg's v.10 firmware.
In this folder the HeadStart images are stored.

Besides this I've updated the links in the tutorial so the installation should go faster because this server has way more bandwith. and has less downtime.

Only thing about this method is that I don't have any statistics anymore so I can't see the usage of HeadStart. This doesn't matter since I now know that people (and quite a few more) are using it. which is nice, I think.

cd /mnt
wget files.wl500g.info/asus/custom/raas/v10/opt.tar.gz

THX raas. Great work

I've just installed this package.

I have three questions:

1. After installation ipgk upgrade upgraded many packages. Is there any newer package? Or can you prepare? I have pretty clean installation, so it is no problem for me to make clean upgrade - but I need

2. How to integrate in CMS new transmission configured according to Wengi's tutorial?

3. Is this possible to configure WOL for awakening a few computers?

[raas]

Hi Kaizen ,

Glad you like it.
Answers to your questions:

1)
I want to do this, but it takes quite some time, which I don't have at the moment. (still interfacing with my velleman k8055 board), if this is finished I can think of HeadStart III, which will host new versions and maybe different solutions)

2)
You want your torrent-control page available to the public ??
configure lighttpd.conf to do so.

3)
Use the wol.cgi page as a source, copy it a few times like WOLkitchen.cgi, WOLgarage.cgi, WOLbasement.cgi and edit them with your MAC-addresses of the different machines your want. Then it just something like remembering wich page for which computer.

Thanks.

Looking forward for HS III

I think transmission doesn't use lighttpd any more (after 'killall lighttpd' I can still access transmission page). I want to go to http://192.168.1.1:PORT NUMBER/transmission/web/ by clicking Transmission in CMS. Port number is set in Transmission starting script and is different than lighttpd.

I want to access from WAN using build-in new authorization and "rpc-whitelist" functionality - and it works. I'm talking about this version (I'm going to correct link in previous post).

Ad. 3
Wow. It's so easy

[raas]

Hi Kaizen,


1) Me too ! I'm glad that people like and use it.

2) So you basically want to jump from a page on the CMS (displayed in your browser) to the transmission page (which is on a diff. webserver,right, but on the same machine).
How about editing text in the CMS system (login, and edit text) and put a link on a page somewhere which links to http://192.168.1.1:PORT.
something like this.

<a href="http://192.168.1.1:PORT">Click here for transmission</a>

where you change the port and link in which you want, and change the text in what you want.

3) Sure.. I'm dealing with the same problem. wanting to wake up more than one machine. I use this approach.. would be nicer though if I had a pull-down menu to select the machine from.. .... .... Next time.. in Headstart III

[kaizen]

<a href="http://192.168.1.1:PORT">Click here for transmission</a>

where you change the port and link in which you want, and change the text in what you want.

After editing /mnt/cms/content/content.htm it works
