Running telnet.html from USB drive

[jksmurf]

jksmurf: Using your IP address, this script should work. If it doesn't there's more going on here than the script......

:confused: Nope ... I copied and pasted, rebooted the PCH, nope. I then copied back the orig (OLD) scripts I pasted above, ran telnet (from the new index.html button), which ran script.cgi and started telnet on port 23, then ran GBPVR button which ran gbpvr.cgi perfectly. Using Power Button, File Button on the remote made it exit correcttly and I could Browse Files again.

I'm sorry, I really don't know what is at work here with the new script ... :confused:

Forgive me if you've already answered this, but are you running index.htm from a USB drive or a share? If you are running from a share, you'll have to create a mvpmc directory at the root of your share and put the cgi scripts in there...

That's OK, I'm just frustrated :-) It's a share and the structure is as attached. I think I asked about a million posts back what the root was exactly, so do let me know if I have this right (it should be OK as it works with the old scripts). The folder that is shared is mvpmc. The mvpmc FILE in teh dir is the Hauppauge MVP equivalent of mvpmcx2. I took it out for testing as I thought it might be having fun with the mkdir command, but no joy !

Any other thoughts :o?

btw the png's are in the mvppch folder. I edited Index.htm to reflect this and the button's show nicely.

Are you editing the scripts with notepad?

It appears that your .cgi extension is associated with notepad. If so, that is most likely the culprit. notepad uses Windows line breaks which equates to a Ctrl+M in Linux. Use something like Textpad or Editpad...

Hiya Dirk, nope, sorry, but that's an EditPad Lite symbol, honest...it's actually green but does not show up well ...

I've been using editpad since I made the first scripts a couple of months ago that didn't work, and mvallevand said "use Editpad"...then those (above) worked.

Sorry, they looked blue on my other pc...

Not the path if you are just replacing the new script with the old one and it works...

Hmm... I would try executing everything one by one via telnet and see what happens.

I'd just like to thank you guys for this. I've just shoved the stuff from the wiki onto my usb stick and it works a treat. Server goes to sleep as well now that there isn't a permanent connection.

Thanks.

Ahh, Just lost my nicely typed set of questions

I am so lost in this thread!

I would like to set this up so that, running from my share, the page pops up at power-on of the PCH, and I select GBPVR, which checks if Telnet is enabled, and if not, enables it, if so - runs gbpvr. (or after a 10 or 15 sec timeout automatically runs gbpvr, if possible)

Will the home button / icon take me back to the syabas interface? (from this webpage / menu)

How do I have to setup my share for to work. I currently run the client on the PCH using my gbpvr folder as the MVPMCX2 share, and this is working fine.

Casn someone give me the scripts I need (obviously I will have to edit these for my share IP/folder) so that this can happen. Do I have to do any special setup on the share?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, I got lost in all of the code flying around this thread.

Cheers

No problem,

I'm going to get a set of instructions together and post them on the wiki either tonight or tomorrow... Sorry I can't get to it sooner.

Well I ran each line in gbpvr.cgi, but I had to enable telnet using the OLD script.cgi before I could run putty from the server. Here's a line by line run and a Putty output. See anything there that I could work on? I'm not sure what the "mkdir: cannot create directory '/etc/mvpmc': File exists" error means exactly... but I think it is the "behind the scenes" error you get when you try and run telnet again (using Martin's original scripts) i.e. it's the error which "already connnected" part of the script should bypass?

It ran the "Already connected" part of the code because the line with the "if" is commented out... "#" comments out the entire line except the first with the "#!", that needs to be there.

Basically, if you run the old script, it will skip everything except the last lines from "killall gaya..." on and those are commented out.

[pBS]

need to comment out the 'if', 'then', 'else' and 'fi' at bottom too...
then it should run normally..[it's ok if they have errors,it'll continue normally anyways]

you get the can't connect msg cuz to load telnet, you already made that dir and mapped it to that drive...so normally don't run telnet from another drive if you wish to use this script...setup a telnet on this drive...
[that way dir mappings won't be a conflict]

but if you reboot and run this script first it should be ok...
[after commmenting out those lines]

oh, that's putty output....yea, can't restart telnet from a script...
and can't tel if it'll run from script as it's already running...

so is it not starting telnet before mvpmcx2?
might wanna play with the username [try guest] and rw/ro at end...maybe that's what's messing up..

just remember share scripts are different than drive scripts..[connect line]
drive scripts you can edit easily for other drives, [replace USB_DRIVE_A-1] but share scripts are slightly different connect string..[can't just replace USB_DRIVE_A-1 in drive script with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and have it work]
