HTTP help now

Alright I had this working the other night. Now when I try to connect to my empeg via http it cant find the page. In the config.ini file all the network settings are 0.0.0.0 Im thinking this may be the issue but if anyone could lemme know that would be great

Well, did you previously set up an IP-adress, mask etc through emplode? Or tell it to use DHCP?
Or did you use the uPnP stuff?

Im not sure what I did I just plugged it in. I can see the empeg via emplode but I cannot FTP or HTTP to it.

Cmon now

Questions:
When you connect via emplode, does it use tcp/ip, usb or serial.

On the player, select the "About" option. It will scroll through and tell you the IP address its using. THIS should not be 0.0.0.0 etc.

In my environment, config.ini shows ip addresses.

Well I can get it too connect using all methods and when it connects via TCP i get a ip of 192.168.0.175 but i still cannot see it via HTTP or FTP

Just checking off the basics lists: You have installed a Hijack kernel? And not applied an .upgrade file (for instance 2.0b11) afterwards, without reapplying Hijack?

/Michael

Yes I have a post Beta11 applied Hijack. Are there any setting I should check?

Back to basics, folks.

Hook up a serial cable, and watch for error messages over the serial link.

Also look for the startup messages from khttpd and kftpd. If you don't see them, they ain't running..

I ran hyperterminal and I didnt see anything about khttpd or kftpd but it wasnt hooked up to the network at the time so that may have been an issue

It looks as though you are using DHCP.
If that is the case, then starting up without being on the network won't give you an IP address. This may/may not prevent the http/ftp from even bothering to start.

You should try troubleshooting this in the environment you will be using it. ie on a network.

I will be around for the next couple hours. If you want, email me offline at [email protected]

It shouldn't be too hard to sort out (famous last words )

Alright I hooked it up the the network ran hyperterminal and still no khttpd of kftpd. GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

1. install Hijack (again!).

2. Run off AC power, not DC.

3. Ensure the Hijack menu pops up.

4. Go into the Hijack menu and ensure the "Force Power Mode" is set to "Normal".

5. go pull some more hair out.

Im doing that as we speak dont worry I have no possible way to run it of DC my car is most likely totalled but I think I had the empeg in DC mode. SO thats it im sure. THanks

Now I get a
You are not authorized to view this page message so it works but it wont let me see it.....stupid empeg

Well after a few email from PeterK everything is up and running finally.

Well, so what was it?

Doesn't do any good to post the problem here, but not post the solution when you find it. That's not fair.

Oh well first off I had the empeg set to Car mode in Hijack, and my bookmark for the http was old and apparently it was changed.

Right, you gotta pay attention to the Hijack release notes. He did change the URLs.

Yeah, that one caught me for a while too. I went from ~190 something to 217

Who reads release notes?
