Hey all, I’m just getting back into computing after being out of it for many years and decided to start with this build using the 3 B+. Initially I went through and everything was great for a day but then I couldn’t access live view on port 8080 or 80. After fighting for a while I gave up and reformatted thinking I might have messed up some where. This time I did a full raspian then dump1090 and then PiAware. Again I can’t access the live view on 8080, 80 or dump1090.

FlightAware is reciving my packets so I know it’s up and running but I’m thinking it might be a networking thing. I’m currently using the Norton Core, which I had to change the DNS to start with because their DNS wouldn’t let me update. And also using my network analyzer it’s showing my pi is not pingable. Does anyone have any suggestions because I am lost. Any help will be greatly appreciated

@hcisdch

1. Do you see lighttpd Placeholder page at following address (no port number)?  
`ip-of-pi`

2. Try `ip-of-pi/dump1090-fa/`

These are not commands. These are the addresses you have to type in your browser’s address bar to see the map. You have to replace the `ip-of-pi` by your Pi’s local IP which is something like `192.168.0.21`. You can find it by giving command `ifconfig` in terminal console of Pi or SSH.

Good, you get Placeholder page at IP of Pi.

```auto
sudo lighty-enable-mod dump1090-fa

sudo reboot

```

After reboot, check map at  
`172.16.4.2/dump1090-fa/ `

It stated it was already enabled.  
After the reboot I got “the server is not responding”

And just to clarify I’m using the dump1090 from github if that makes a difference at all.

Dump1090-mutability  
Gave me “ignoring unknown module”  
So I also ran just dump1090” and got service already enabled

After the reboot it still says server not responding. That’s why I have been thinking more on the router side, seems as if everything installed correctly.

That goes to show that dump1090-mutability is NOT installed.

Please give following command and post output:

```auto
apt-cache policy dump1090-mutability

```

If dump1090-mutability is installed, then lighttpd should not say _ignoring unknown module_.

Are you sure you cloned the source from mutability fork? Following is the correct command to clone the dump1090-mutability v1.15~dev

`sudo git clone https://github.com/mutability/dump1090.git `

Tell you what, let me go back an start it over again. I’ll report back after I do that. Maybe I’m missing a step somewhere. Then I’ll know for sure if I have missed something or not.

## Step by Step Method to Install Stretch Lite image + dump1090-mutability

### (1) Download Stretch Lite image and write the image to microSD Card

### (2) Install dump1090-mutability v1.15~dev

Below is a step-by-step method to built & install dump1090-mutability\_1.15~dev from source code.

**STEP-1: UPDATE THE OPERATING SYSTEM**

```auto
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y librtlsdr-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config
sudo apt-get install -y fakeroot
sudo apt-get install -y curl
sudo apt-get install -y cron
sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd

```

**STEP-3: DOWNLOAD / CLONE THE SOURCE FILES TO YOUR RPi**

```auto
cd ~/
sudo mkdir install-dump
cd install-dump
sudo git clone https://github.com/mutability/dump1090.git

```

.  
**STEP-4: BUILD THE DUMP1090-MUTABILITY PACKAGE**  
Note: This is a lengthy process, and seems to freez at several occasions. Please be patient, and let the process take it’s time to finish.

```auto
cd ~/install-dump/dump1090
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b

```

.  
**STEP-5: INSTALL THE DUMP1090-MUTABILITY PACKAGE**

```auto
cd ~/install-dump
sudo dpkg -i dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_*.deb

```

.  
**STEP-6: CONFIGURE THE WEB SERVER**

```auto
sudo lighty-enable-mod dump1090
sudo systemctl force-reload lighttpd

```

.  
**STEP-7: DUMP1090-MUTABILITY POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION**

```auto
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability

```

.  
For most settings, accept default settings by pressing “Enter”.  
For following settings, enter values as shown:  
(a) RTL-SDR dongle to use: 0  
(b) Your receiver’s Latitude (in decimal format): xx.xxxx

I went through and made sure I have installed everything and configured it. No errors on the installs, but I still seem to be locked out. It’s still reporting to FlightAware, but still getting no server respons when using 80, 8080, and dump1090

But you do get lighttpd server’s _Placeholder Page_ which shows the **Server is OK**.
