This is a mystery:
- 3.1.0 install after 2.0.5, 3.0.4, 3.0.5 via stats page commands
- Data is being uploaded to FA normally
- Originally a Wheezy base (still is)
- Ports 80 and 8080 inaccessible via port forwarding or VPN
- Site is 1200 mi away
- I can access via 22 ssh
- I have done every combination of update/upgrade
- I have edited sources.list to change wheezy to jessie. I get the infamous NODATA1 NODATA2 error
- Lighttpd is there but have no way to debug it because sysctl is not present.
- Yes I can FedEx a new chip to someone but it won’t be easy
I would appreciate any help before I attempt the FedEx fix Thanks . . .Joe K4AA

Try “sudo service lighttpd start” and see what it logs (both to your session & to syslog)
Remote administration is tricky.

OBJ: here it is:
pi@piaware ~ $ sudo service lighttpd start
…] Starting web server: lighttpd2016-09-29 14:50:58: (configfile.c.1256) base-docroot doesn’t exist: /var/www/html
2016-09-29 14:50:58: (server.c.649) setting default values failed
failed!
pi@piaware ~ $
Nothing in /var/log/syslog but older entries

(yes remote admin is tedious )

I don’t know why that directory would be missing, but you could try just creating it, then maybe lighttpd will be willing to start.

OBJ created directory “base-docroot” in /var/etc/www/ and in /etc/lighttpd/ to no avail after reboot. Joe K4AA

What? Why did you do that? The directory it is complaining about is /var/www/html, read the error message.

OBJ: Stupid me!! Lack of knowledge coupled with stupidity leads to disaster.
GOOD NEWS!!! created /var/www/html and the map page fired up!
Thank you so much for putting up with Linux novices. Joe K4AA
