Hi,

/opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh
the answer was:
Usage install_piratebox my_config <part> (with al list of the parts)

then:
/opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf imageboard
with the answere of the system:
-ash: /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf: Permission denied

there is an accidential line break in the howto, which you find several topics about in forums. The correct command is:

/opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf imageboard

(like in the help output displayed).

At the second frame I get an error code, short: can't connect to [piratebox.lan]

But I realy want to know why the "piratebox.lan" dosn't work. I don't need it in the moment, but I want to learn. Perhaps I need it at a second OpenWRT Box. It's a very nice projekt.

Is your box still connected to your homenetwork while testing? If yes, this is the issue. The service providing ip addresses for clients (DHCP), does recognize your home-network DHCP server and stops serving IP adresses.

And on top, if you change the IP of piratebox in the network config file, the hostname resolution of piratebox.lan is not correct (the changes of network-config file would be a result of a not complete finished installation with a reboot).

The version 1.0 will have a new tutorial with fixed howto AND and auto-isntaller containing the imageboard as default isntallation.

I don't need the chat, filetransfer and the other stuff. I only need a simple html webpage and this page is "on air" now and ready.

Then you should disalbe the upload functionality in /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf that nobody knowing about your PirateBox can upload anything.

best wishes
