New 1.0.4.6 based custom firmware

[AverySimonsen]

shouldn't it be 'if [ ..' rather than 'fi [ ..' ? Or maybe you figured that out already? When I locked myself out of telnet access by accident, I got back in by putting the minimal rc.local from kfurge's help page in the web folder of the wl700 by means of ftp and rebooting

Hi,

One of the easy ways to solve this is to check if you have access to the webinterface. If so, try uploading a textfile which will be named 'start.cgi' (or something more creative... with the following contents (Don't include the stuff starting with asterisks and pound (#*****)):

#******begin file
#!/bin/ash
################flag
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo ""
echo ""
PATH=$PATH:`pwd`:`pwd`/functions:`pwd`/../../../bin

/apps/bin/utelnetd -d
#*******end file

Upload the file to your webroot (/shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/web), for example by using the webinterface (browse shares).
Enable your photoalbum and use the default album..
This will give you access to the photoalbum... (assuming you have used port 8081) you'll type in something like this:

http://192.168.1.1:8081/start.cgi

It seems that the latest busybox isnt compatible.

it uses the command update-alternatives

# ipkg install -force-overwrite busybox

0: i assume nano is there, otherwise use: ipkg install nano or ipkg-opt install nano

1: cd /opt/lib/ipkg/info

2: nano busybox-links.postinst

3: comment all the lines, coz "/opt/bin/update-alternatives" doesnt work

4: ipkg upgrade or ipkg-opt upgrade

5: doe this for all other software with errors

Hi Sollie, why comment the lines about upgrade_alternatives, isnt there a way to get it to work? Without it the commands in Busybox is not usable by themselves. For example vi must be used like this "busybox vi filename".

Have a post about this yesterday: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=11384

[sollie]

I dont know

[sollie]

Ok, found it :

0: ipkg-opt install busybox-links

1: change first line:
nano /opt/bin/update-alternatives #!/bin/sh ---> #!/opt/bin/bash

2: ln -s /opt/bin/busybox sort /opt/bin/sort

3: ln -s /opt/bin/busybox dirname /opt/bin/dirname

4: /opt/lib/ipkg/info/busybox-links.postinst

Sollie.

Please Help....

I'm desperate to get KFurge's custom firmware installed to take advantage of the updated torrent/drive spin down capabilities.

For some reason I can't telnet and successfully login into the router. I get a login prompt, login with an admin user created in the GUI, but the screen keep coming back with a connection closed response.

Here are the steps I've taken:
- Reverted firmware to 1.0.4.6
- Copied rc.local script into /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/web
- Rebooted router
- Open windows dos shell
- Telnet to router (login prompted)
- Enter username/password (admin account created in GUI)
Telnet session is immediately closed and I'm bumped back to dos prompt.

Anyone have suggestions to successfully telnet to the router?
