you don't mention which image.
I favour the bruteforce method
ftp ntthpd into /bin overwriting the existing then chmod 755
ftp the rest into
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/http-y
then reboot the box
if the nhttpd file whines then telnet in and
killall nhttpd then overwrite the file.

Have Fun

Ellie1998 i prefer to bruteforce them over myself but the latest installer for yweb 2.01 isnatlls itself to the /var so is it still ok to install them the old rot position? I wasnt sure whether it would like this or not

Are the internal calls from within yweb absolute or relative i.e /var/bin/httpd or ../bin/httpd ?

It works here.

I must admit I never gave it a thought, just did it, I would have been scratching my head if it hadn't worked because I hadn't thought of that.

My bad for not reading the install.sh
I think he uses /var incase the image has a squashfs root ?
Haven't a clue where it's coded but will look when i get a chance and post back here.
the latest 2.0.1b uses
httpddir="/var/httpd"
bindir="/var/bin"
but the
/bin
share/tuxbox/neutrino/http-y are cvs standards and still work ?

at 300k+ it's wasteful to leave the old one in /bin taking up space.
I also delete
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/http
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/http-a
as they waste space, who wants the old ones when yweb is so far ahead of them.

Have Fun

what do you meen absolute or relitive m8 . when yweb calls a page in its directory it does not matter where that directory is, its calling it as /Y_Boxcontrol_Menue.yhtm not var/httpd/Y_Boxcontrol_Menue.yhtm

the new yweb is installed in the old root as part of the cvs .
untill you just said and ive had alook at the instal.sh i wasnt aware of the change.
im sure the reason for is this is of squashffs images where the tmp and /var directories are not write protected . i know that netrino checks both if /var/httpd or /var/bin/nthhpd exsists and if they do uses them so i would think if instlled them the way you and ellie do then it shouldnt harm .because the webserver uses http-y as a root or if it excists var/httpd/ . if anyone does have problems hard installing yweb please do stand up.

i have problems, i read ellies method and totally misunderstood

i started deleting files left right and centre, so i tried the installer

now there is no httpd process running when i restart the box and i have dumped the files everywhere in every httpd or nhttpd or some other variant of httpd and now i dont have a clue whats going on

how can i set it up clean again so it will work

im on sportster

 

[ellie1998]

nhttpd goes in /var/bin chmod 755 or it won't run
httpd directory goes in /var chmod everything in the /scripts directory
so layout will be

/var/bin/nhttpd
/var/httpd

sportster is squashfs (don't know of any new ones that are not)
so you can only write to /var

Have you considered a new image with V2 already in it ? (dwuk02)

make sure you backup your sportster 1st.
If it's a 2x back it up and email me it, I will sort it and send it back to you (sportster)

 

[Jip]

ive had enough of this thing

im gonna go with the new image route, ive been thinking about switching for a while

thanks for your time

edit: cant find dwuk02, can only see 01, or did i miss something?

ps, im after x2

also post 7 in the same thread from johnboy190 has some useful bits

 

[Jip]

thankyou once again

 

[Jip]

back again, flashed the image, looks good

i put all my bouquet and similar files on from the old image, put keys and other important files on etc etc

it only gives me bbc1,2 and itv

tried a few others but none seem to work

i have EPG for it but no picture or audio

also, has anyone managed to get the live stream for yweb working in firefox?

 

[Jip]

cancel the first thing, i put everything on 755 from useful.rar and it works

got vlcrape working, just no sound now :{

 

[ellie1998]

as an addition this doesn't show the y-web still

delete the
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd
and
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/http-a

telnet into the box
root
cd /share/tuxbox/neutrino/
ln -s /share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd ./httpd
ln -s /share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd ./httpd-a
the ./ is important as it says the symlink is a directory/folder

it will work then, there is most probably a setting but this does work
get fbshot and dboxshot from the ygol site put them into /bin and chmod them and the screenshots will work

This has been tested on pacino 2.1 (jffs 2)

Thanks for the additional info ellie.

So do we do the above first then do what you have said in your earlier post?

ftp ntthpd into /bin overwriting the existing then chmod 755
ftp the rest into
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/http-y
then reboot the box
if the nhttpd file whines then telnet in and
killall nhttpd then overwrite the file.

 

[ellie1998]

Yes but I missed out

chmod 755 all files in
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd-y/scripts

 

[menacez]

Yes but I missed out

chmod 755 all files in
/share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd-y/scripts

Hi,

I followed these instructions but lost my EPG after upgrading. ywebb shows no channel list or any epg data.
