meteohub Conf error

Post by Chill »

Hi there,

My meteohub is not anymore accessible.

I get
Error file open /home/meteohub/meteohub.conf on top of the screen, but I can't access any item in the Left Menu.

I can't ping to usual IP, neither 192.168.1.77 which is default one.

I rebooted the system, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Since I can't access the system, I can't copy any file to it...

Any clue?

Assuming the NSLU2 is functional you can scan to hunt down its IP address by using a program like Free IP Scanner (link goes to download page), which will scan all possible the IP addresses in your range to find the NSLU2.

However, if you're getting a message on the screen about a problem with the .conf file it sounds like the NSLU2 is still at its normal IP address but the configuration file is somehow corrupted.

I would suggest trying to connect via SSH (if you need an SSH client, I like PuTTY; user name is 'root' and password is the program name, all lower case) to get a command prompt.

A second option would be to try connecting to the NSLU2 via its SMB share, which is detailed in the user manual.

Let us know how that goes and we can provide more suggestions to try and get you working again.

Sevenless ... Thanks for your help...

I bypassed the problem by using another USB stick I got.

Trouble is I just had WEATHER DATA backups so I needed to re-config all the parameters and graphs.

A hard work, which I could avoid if I have done the things in the right way.

If this can help you: DO BACKUPS regularly, both for DATA WEATHER and SETTINGS.

At any moment a file may be corrupted (in my case meteohub.conf)

HTH,

Chill
