Re: piratebox on other router

Thank you for providing that much of information!
Ok, interesting configuration. And yes, I think there is a missmatch/conflict in the configurations.

Uh, I really don't know where to start... I simply write down the things, which I recognize

Why did you mount /overlay and /mnt/usb together to /dev/sda1 ?

How did you link /data somewhere? I can't see it . I suggest you had linked /opt/piratebox/share to /data .. but it is still pointing to /mnt/usb... which in your case only should contain additional installed packages.

There is no Shared link in www, that is the reason why cou cant browse.

Advice: CleanUp your config/network and remove gateway & dns entries.
In your case, you should simply use your wan port with "proto" "dhcp" and plug your internet there, if your want to install additional packages.

did you installed these packages yourself?

   opkg -d piratebox install python
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd-mod-cgi
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd-mod-redirect
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd-mod-alias
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd-mod-setenv
    # for later use
    opkg -d piratebox install lighttpd-mod-webdav

Does /mnt/usb/PirateBox/Upload exists? (no it doesn't, that is the reason why droopy don't start or is messed up.)


For ext-filesystems switch the following line in piratebox.conf to "yes":

#Use UserId from lighttpd for droopy  (use on ext-filesystems)
DROOPY_USE_USER="no"

why did you choose this way of installing everything and not use the simple way with one big vfat usb stick?
what is the reason behind? because this would be alot easier and the ext-filesystem is configured. The overlay stuff not, but is there a reason why you need it?

I think you have to do alot of stuff to get this mess tidied up, because during start-script of piratebox I think the duplicate mount happens -- and maybe some other things are went wrong.


You have two possibilities: Try to get this mess tidied up with reconfigure the PirateBox-OpenWRT stuff, etc...

or

remove the piratebox stuff and do a manual install of the PirateBox-Scripts on your overlay, which is big enough.

First way is alot of try&error.
2nd way is not the much trouble.. that was the way I used to get my first PirateBox stuff working on my MikroTik RB411 without using the OpenWRT-Package.
