• The forum software that supports hummy.tv has been upgraded to XenForo 2.3!

    Please bear with us as we continue to tweak things, and feel free to post any questions, issues or suggestions in the upgrade thread.

Can't connect via browsers

I have this problem too - no webif but can access via telnet, and my Win7 m/c can 'see' all the files on the Hummy. No other network problems I know of.

Will this correct itself if a new download is scheduled or will I have to do something??? Thanks for all the hard work!

The current package list definitely references 1.4.35-4 e.g.:-
Code: 
humax# opkg update
Downloading http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/base/Packages.gz.
Inflating http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/base/Packages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /mod/var/opkg/base.


humax# opkg list
7zip - 9.20.1 - 7-zip archive utility.
. . .
lighttpd - 1.4.35-4 - Lightweight web server
. . .
zeroconf - 1.5-2 - MDNS & LLMNR Responder
humax#

I would try them separately e.g. :-
Code: 
opkg update

opkg install lighttpd --force-reinstall

Far be it for me to disagree with af123, but I think you might need "--force-downgrade" not "--force-reinstall", as I said in #12. I tested it then and it worked.
Try "opkg --force-downgrade install lighttpd"

Yes WebIf is OK, it's lighttpd 1.4.37 web server, or more specifically, a new pcre library dependency, that's the problem. If you have already installed it, the server will not start on next reboot. Follow prpr's instructions if you can't wait for the fix from af123.

There is, but...
Code: 
humax# opkg files libpcre
Package libpcre (8.37) is installed on root and has the following files:
/mod/include/pcre.h
/mod/include/pcrecpparg.h
/mod/lib/pkgconfig/libpcreposix.pc
/mod/lib/pkgconfig/libpcrecpp.pc
/mod/lib/pkgconfig/libpcre.pc
/mod/include/pcrecpp.h
/mod/bin/pcretest
/mod/bin/pcregrep
/mod/bin/pcre-config
/mod/include/pcreposix.h
/mod/include/pcre_stringpiece.h
/mod/include/pcre_scanner.h
...no library.
Click to expand...
/mod/bin/pcretest and /mod/bin/pcregrep also return a can't load library 'libpcreposix.so.0' error.

I tried --force-downgrade but it said that lighttpd 1.4.37 (the problematic version) was up to date and Web-If did not start after a reboot. I tried --force-reinstall and it gave some error messages but after rebooting I am now at the Web-If bootstrap page.
 
Opkg seems very clunky and unhelpful with stuff like this. When I tested it, it was with a local copy, so now the errant package has been removed from the repository, try:
Code: 
humax# cd /tmp
humax# opkg update
humax# opkg download lighttpd
humax# opkg --force-downgrade install lighttpd_1.4.35-4_mipsel.opk

Did you manually install lighttpd_1.4.35-4_mipsel.opk onto your Humax (as detailed in prpr's #12) before sending the downgrade command?

I tried that with these results:

humax1# opkg --force-downgrade install lighttpd_1.4.35-4_mipsel.opk

* pkg_init_from_file: Failed to extract control file from lighttpd_1.4.35-4_mipsel.opk.
 
I don't recommend using --force-reinstall. I am now stuck at the bootstrap page. It seems like it removes lighttpd and fails to install a different version. I have downloaded the right package to my tablet but without Samba or FTP I am struggling: I'm sure it is possible to copy the package over with telnet but I don't know the necessary commands.
 
It appears that .37 is still in the package list somewhere on my box at least:

humax# opkg update

I suggest you manually hack out the obvious section from the /mod/var/opkg/base file then.
Install nano if you don't already have it, and teach yourself a crash course on how it works!

It would probably have been a good idea to re-release 1.4.35-4 as 1.4.38 instead of just removing 1.4.37 as it seems to make opkg unhappy.

I can't explain that, maybe the difference is that I have not allowed lighttpd - 1.4.37 to install on my Humax, does opkg list gets info. from more than one source?

Found a solution. opkg is also reading the status file in /mod/var/opkg which still contained the following entry:

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.37
Depends: swapper, service-control (>= 2.0), libpcre
Provides:
Status: install user not-installed
Architecture: mipsel
Conffiles:
/mod/etc/lighttpd/extra.conf 7bfa62271212309f1568ac2a03a2532e
Installed-Time: 1445570875​

I removed the above lines and then the .35-4 installed :)
