Cannot access Custom Firmware from PC

[hummybee]

Hi all

Was working fine yesterday but I did some 'tidying up' of Services and may have gone too far.

Do I need to reinstall or is there another way?

Thanks for your help.

If Telnet is still working, then running service from the command line might be a good plsce to start, you should find mongoose running i.e.

Humax HDR-Fox T2 (humax) 1.02.32/2.16
 
humax# service

Managed to 'service start mongoose' via telnet and working fine now.

Thanks to Black Hole http://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-and-flatten-problems.3581/

Thanks Ezra Pound.

Now ok.

Made note to self ' mongoose must be set to auto start'

I do use betaftpd some times but do not auto start . Does it use up much resource to run?

If not I could also auto start it.

 

[Ezra Pound]

betaftpd is pretty low down the list of resources , I would allow autostart

Thanks for that Ezra Pound.

Will auto start then it's ready to go when I need it.

Appreciate your help.

I keep everything installed on auto (the default), no reason not to really:
