Re: [Wifiadmin-users] PHP errors in debian

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

There probably is a bug, concerning the way wifiadmin parses the output 
of your wireless tools. Could you give me a temporar user acount on your 
machine to check it out?

I hope it help. It is the first time I try a wireless connection in
Linux. I will use your program for a wireless-linux-router. I use a old
debian woody so it can be that same programs are outdated with your
webinterface.

Thanks for the help

Please provide more details. Post the output of the following:

iwconfig

if you are using the hostap driver, also post the output of

Hello Martin,

I understand that you only have one interface on your computer, that is 
why you get the

*Notice: Undefined variable: current in /home/mali1/wlan/iwsecurity.php 
on line 72**
*
message. This is actually a bug, that i am going to correct right now in 
the cvs, so that it won't be in the next release.
But, this doesn't really affect your system, when your card is in 
managed mode.
The wireless security tab, provides access list manipulation for a card 
running as an access point, that is master mode.

If you want to use your card as an access point, you need to use a 
driver like hostap, or madwifi, that supports master mode.

Thank you for pointing out the problem.

P.S: I am posting this on the list too, since other people probably get 
this error message too.

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

To figure out what the problem is, i also installed the latest hostap 
driver. The way it reports associated clients, hasn't changed, the mac 
addresses of the asssociated clients, show up on /proc/net/hostap/wlanX 
as files. But your output has no such files, are you sure you have 
associated clients (or maybe the output you sent was taken at a time you 
had no associated clients)? Wifiadmin reads those files to report 
information about clients. Here is what i see on my ap:

Your wlan0ap interface, is just another name for wlan0 right? Did you do 
something special to get that interface name?

It would be helpful if your slackware box had internet access and i 
could get a user account on it... You seem to have a "normal" setup, so 
there are probably more people with the same problem. I would be happy 
to resolve this.

Ok, that removed the wifi0 from the pages, but i still have a wlan0ap,
no biggie, i can just ignore it. I am attaching the info you requested
reguarding the system output.

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

Here is what i found.

About the fake wifi interface names.
There is a little bug with wifiadmin 0.0.4 and newest hostap driver. It 
exposes some fake interface names, wifiX, that do no harm, but look 
ugly. Here:

http://wifiadmin.sourceforge.net/no-wifi.patch

is a patch against wifiadmin-0.0.4 that fixes the problem. To apply it, 
download it to a convenient path, cd to wifiadmin-0.0.4 directory, and 
run: patch -p1 < path-to-the-patch/no-wifi.patch. This will also fix the 
proc/net/hostap/wifi0/ap_control missing issue.

About the wlan0 tab missing from your wireless status page, could you 
post your iwconfig output, and your ls -lhR /proc/net/hostap output?

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

Hello,

You are probably doing nothing wrong. I haven't tested wifiadmin with 
such a new hostap driver.  I have just installed the new driver on my 
ap, but wifiadmin seems to work fine, apart for the fake wifi 
interfaces. I 'll work on it tonight, wifiadmin needs some minor 
changes. I ll post back when i have more news. Thank you for pointing 
out the problem.

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

Hello,

You are probably doing nothing wrong. I haven't tested wifiadmin with 
such a new hostap driver.  I 'm installing the new driver on my AP now, 
to see what has changed. They have probably changed the way the driver 
exports int's info. If that is the case, wifiadmin will probably need 
some minor code changes. Thank you for pointing out the problem.

[Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

[Drag0n <dr...@at...>]

Hello,

	I am trying to get wifiadmin to work with my setup.
I am running slackware 10.1 with kernel version 2.6.10. 
I am using hostap-driver version 0.3.7. 
I am running firmware versions PRI=1.1.1 STA=1.7.4
on a linksys WMP11 netcard. 
I have the web server running and working fine. 
The wifiadmin seems to work for the most part, but when i try to look at
associated mac's it reports none are currently associated. but the odd
part is the only listed tabs for wireless interfaces are wifi0 and
wlan0ap, wlan0 is only listed under ethernet settings. The same thing
shows up under wireless security, but i get errors
about /proc/net/hostap/wifi0/ap_control is missing. am I missing
something simple or fundimental? do you need more info? please let me
know what I may be doing wrong.

[Wifiadmin-users] Good news..

[Thanos P. <pan...@ce...>]

Hi Rob,

Some days ago I somehow reached a seattlewireless blog, where a friend 
of yours said that you were showing them your hacks on wifiadmin. So I 
was wonder if we would hear from you!

We are honoured to have you on our side, both Thimios and I have read 
your books :) We will check out your contributions as soon as possible, 
so as we can finally procceed with a new release. As Thimios said, 
suggestions are more than welcome.

Configuration persistency is very important, and I think the best way to 
start is with support for the debian distro.

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] Massive updates

[thimios <dim...@ce...>]

Thanks a lot,

This is the first code contribution we have received, and it is a 
pleasant surprise that it comes from you.
I will check it out as soon as i find some time, i m sure it will be 
very useful (saving state on the disk is one of the first priorities in 
our todo, so we really appreciate your patches).

I hope you don't mind if we put a link to Metrix Pebble distribution on 
WiFiAdmin site.

Thanks again.

[Wifiadmin-users] We are alive!!

[thimios <dim...@ce...>]

Hello, and thank you for your interest in wifiadmin

Both Thanos and me, are students in the computer engineering department, 
in Patras, Greece. We are in the middle of an exam period these days, so 
development, as far as we are concerned, is practically stalled, until 
the end of the month. In the meantime, any comments, suggestions, 
contributions, are more than welcomed.

[Wifiadmin-users] Massive updates

[Rob F. <ro...@no...>]

Hello, all--

I've been hacking on WiFiAdmin 0.0.4 pretty hard to integrate it with 
our wireless kits.  I've posted a huge patch here:

http://metrix.net/support/patches/

It is specifically designed to work with Pebble Linux (or more 
specifically, or modified distribution).  That's available here:

http://metrix.net/support/dist/

Most importantly, it now saves all changes to disk in a Debian-friendly 
way.  There are also a whole bunch of new features.  I'm sure many of 
the changes aren't appropriate for the general case, but it's working 
well with our distribution.  I make all kinds of assumptions about the 
hardware and Linux environment, so this version is very likely not at 
all secure if installed on anything but our distribution.

I hope some of it is useful to the project.  I'd appreciate any 
feedback.

Cheers,

[Dimopoulos E. <dim...@ce...>]

Well, you will lose some of wifiadmin's functionality, like the rrdtool 
generated graphs, or the ability to change the default wifiadmin 
administrator's pawssword, since they need to be stored somewhere.

If you have some other filesystem on a media you could mount as read-write 
(like an nfs share), you could change the

$passwd_filename = "./include/passwd";
$rrd_database_path = "rrd_database/";
$graphs_path = "graphs/";

variables, so that the rrd database (where data to be graphed is stored), 
graphs and passwd(where password files are stored) are all on a writable 
filesystem.

What kind of machine are you installing wifiadmin on?

[Wifiadmin-users] Another Question: Read-only

[Thomas H. <fi...@fi...>]

I have another question.
I'm running WiFiAdmin on a Pebble Linux installation 
( http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/ )
Because this distro runs normally as read-only (unless you remount as RW), do 
you think there will be any problem with WiFiAdmin not being able to write to 
the disk?

Very nice, The permissions for /var/lib/php4 were the problem.

Thanks Alot

Re: [Wifiadmin-users] Getting it to work.

[<dim...@ce...>]

Hello, 

Thank you for joining our mailing list, and using wifiadmin. The problem you
encounter does not seem to be a wifiadmin problem, but a problem of your apache
and php installation.

Make sure that the user apache is running with, can write on the directory
/var/lib/php4. That is where apache saves the session files (files that keep
session variables too).

To see what is the user apache is running with, you could use:

ns:/var/lib/php4# ps aux |grep apache
root      1778  0.0  0.3 23008  408 ?        Ss   Dec18   0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1938  0.0  1.9 23520 2460 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1939  0.0  1.8 23464 2404 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1940  0.0  2.2 23512 2808 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1941  0.0  1.1 23588 1444 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1942  0.0  1.0 23540 1308 ?        S    Dec18   0:05 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4677  0.0  0.5 23464  736 ?        S    Dec18   0:02 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4679  0.0  1.2 23464 1628 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4680  0.0  0.9 23528 1212 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data 12084  0.0  1.8 23504 2396 ?        S    Dec19   0:02 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data 14388  0.0  0.9 23464 1220 ?        S    Dec20   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
root     10984  0.0  0.3  1580  504 pts/14   S+   01:13   0:00 grep apache

Or maybe replace apache with httpd in the previous command.

On my output you can see that my apache is running under user www-data, which is
the default on debian.

My /var/lib/php4 has the following permissions:
ns:~# ls -l /var/lib/ |grep php4
drwx-wx-wt   2 root     root     104 Dec 21 00:55 php4
ns:~#

You can set the same permissions on your /var/lib/php4, running as superuser,
the command:
chmod 1733 /var/lib/php4


Hope this helps

This is a fresh installation of Apache&PHP, so the problem might lie there.
I've disabled the MySQL features, so that too could be the problem.

Thanks for your help and your (Hopefully) good program!
