Running telnet.html from USB drive

[dirkomatic]

What is the URL to reference script.cgi from a USB drive?

Thanks.

Hi dirkomatic,

Try this:

Code:

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/USB_DRIVE_A-1/script.cgi">Telnetd</a>

Thanks, Chris.

I'll give it a try this evening.

[dirkomatic]

That did it.

Thanks a million!

Dirk.

Dirkomatic,

how do you change this line

mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=guest,ro; in script.cgi to point to USB drive. I attempted //USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc and got an error. It is just a regular directory mvpmc on USB thump drive.

Thanks.

Actually, I haven't changed that line in the script yet, since I still need it for my other NMT, but it should work if you mount it with the filesystem type of your USB drive instead of cifs...

Try this:

Code:

mount -t vfat //USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/

I believe this will work with a fat32 thumb drive...

Using

ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc

will be the safest method for this.

Using

ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc

will be the safest method for this.

I just can't get this to work without mounting it as a SMB share. What do I need to do to get everything running from the HARD_DISK?

[mvallevand]

This is slightly off topic now but the syntax that replaces the mount is either

ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc

or

ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc

depending if you let the Syabas software format the drive.

Should we start a new topic?

Unfortunately, my PCH died shortly after I added the HD, and is now RMA'd. I'll try using the ln on my USB drive on my istart and see if I can get it to work.
