Sheevaplug & web interface username

Post by lks6869 »

Hello,
I noticed on the Meteohub user manual (v4.6) on page 4 it says about Sheevaplug: "This is still experimental with Meteohub".
When will Meteohub be out of the "experimental" stage and be in "production" stage onSheevaplug? (I wish I had known this info before I bought the units!)

Next question: How can I add an additional user name to the web interface? Through the web interface I can change the password but not the user name. The only user name available is "meteohub". I scanned through the manual but I didn't see a way to add a user name. Do I have to log in via SSH and do I have to be a linux guru to make the appropriate changes to have a second login user name??

Thank you.

it is in full production since about a year :-)

it will need linux skills to alter http access in the way you request it. but it is no magic. Learning a bit about Linux can never be wrong ;-)

:D

But, adding a user is very easy, but what groups permissions must this user have
to aquire full rights entering the WEBGUI?

useradd -p password -G root newuser

doesn´t allow this newuser accessing the GUI :roll:

I'm wanting to add a user to the web interface only, not to the Linux system. I will search around and post results if I figure out how to do it...

try 'htpasswd /srv/www/cgi-bin/.htpasswd (username)'

When things go wrong use 'reset-htpasswd' to reset to the default
