Re: Update 5.0k

Has this line been added to the crontab for the RPI2 for this update?

*/1 * * * * ([ -n "`/bin/pidof thttpd`" ] && [ -n "`/bin/pidof thttpdbackup`" ]) || rcthttpd restart

I had to manually add it to 5.0i for both my RPI2's to keep the web interface running. I would like to know if I will need to ...

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

Reporting back on my test. I have two identical RPi2 meteohubs hosting different weather stations, both running 5.0i. I appended the rcthttpd restart line to the crontab of one, and left the other one alone. Rebooted both. A day later, the meteohub with the rcthttpd restart line appended to the ...

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

When you look at crontab via "crontab -l", don't you have this statement on the second line?

*/1 * * * * ([ -n "`/bin/pidof thttpd`" ] && [ -n "`/bin/pidof thttpdbackup`" ]) || rcthttpd restart

This checks for thttpd running every minute and restarts services if they are down.


I added this ...

I don't find that line in crontab either:

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

I have reverted to build 5.0d and the GUI appears to be working correctly again. 5.0h doesn't solve the issue.
br. Ian

Interesting. I have tried 5.0h and found the same thing, it did not solve the issue, but I have not gone back any further than 5.0h. Have you tried 5.0g? The release notes for 5 ...

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

Well after a week, I have never had the web interface go down following a rcthttpd restart command. Following a reboot, the interface will drop anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, but it always drops unless I run the restart command, then it is fine. I only have to run the restart command ...

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

Last night I had to briefly shut down my remote RPi2 to do some network equipment maintenance. The web interface had been stable for about four days now since running the rcthttpd start and stop commands. After I booted it back up, after a few hours the web interface went down again, same as before ...

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

I have not lost my web interface on either of my RPi 2's since running the start and stop commands, and it's been two days for one, and three for the other. Previously I would usually lose the interface within a few hours. So something seems to be different. Will keep monitoring to see if this ...

I thought user and pw are both meteohub.
But all I get is "Access denied".
User is root, pw is meteohub. That should work.

There are a couple mentions of thttpd, not sure what they mean:

Re: Losing GUI interface on RPI 2

"rcthttpd stop" stops web server and "rcthttpd start" starts it again.

Thank you, Boris. Just tried this. Stopping the web server and restarting it restored the GUI access for me, at least temporarily. Will see for how long. Much better than the reboot option which forces the weather data to ...

Re: Pi 2, wifi and MeteoHub

I am also running 5.0i on a RPi 2, but my network page does not show the WLAN part. Is that something that appears when you install the usb WLAN adapter?

Thanks for the info on the Edimax adapter.

Re: Losing GUI

Yes, thanks for the suggestion. I did try accessing the emergency IP exactly as described, with no success. I have also tried reinstalling the OS several times.

I am curious if anyone else using an RPI 2 is experiencing this issue? It would also help to hear back from others running an RPI 2 who ...
