Re: [Gumstix-users] Serial port data to web server

[<in...@ad...>]

Dave,

what you describe is working when I am on the same network. How do I access it through a remote location on the internet. I know which port to open in my router to be able to go through without the cable company
blocking the access. That is what I did on my Linux box running an Apache server. How do I do it with
the GUMSTIX?


Thank you.

Rock.

The "typical" way of doing this is to have the web server lauch a
program via cgi and the output from the program will be sent to the
other side.

The stock gumstix ships with a script called ifconfig, which can be
found in /var/www/cgi-bin

Replace #.#.#.# with the IP address of your gumstix.

There are lots of other options, but knowing what you're trying to
accomplish would allow us to help you better.
