Thanks for that Raydon but I can't get any sort of Web Interface to work at all let alone see the service management page. I understand I can use telnet from the command prompt but I have no idea what script to type. Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I didn't realise what I had until it was gone and I really miss it. Is it possible to run Samba from telnet??
Hi Ian,
You can start samba from telnet providing you have previously installed the telnet package. If not, then you will need to install it from USB stick. The telnet install package is included in the bundle and instructions on how to install it are in the readme.txt. Make sure and check the install log on the USB stick afterwards as it will tell you if it installed properly.
Open a telnet session to your HDR and enter
service at the command prompt to list the status of each service. You will see something like this:
Code:
Foxsat-HDR~# service
Name Installed Autostart Running
---- --------- --------- -------
telnet Yes Yes Yes
dropbear Yes No No
tinyftp Yes No No
vsftpd Yes Yes Yes
samba No Yes No
mediatomb Yes No No
twonkymedia Yes No No
mongoose Yes Yes Yes
inadyn No No No
Syntax:
service start <service>
service stop <service>
service toggle <service> (toggles service state)
service auto <service> (toggles autostart)
The line for mongoose should contain three Yesses. If Autostart says No then enable it by entering
service auto mongoose, then enter
service start mongoose to start it immediately. Same goes for samba
