I have installed Dump-1090 Mutability onto a new Pi following the instructions on here. The installation was fine but despite numerous reboots, trying different antenna and Prosticks, nothing is happening i.e. no data is feeding.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
This problem normally occours If dump1090-mutability is installed on Raspbian Stretch.
If you have installed dump1090-mutability on Raspbian STRETCH, then please carryout workaround (1) as shown in this post:
Thank you. I have tried workaround (1) but still no data is feeding.

You dongle (DVB-T or ProStck) and dump1090-mutability seem to work ok. Now check your data feeders, and post results.
First reboot your Pi. After reboot, wait 5 minutes to enable piaware data feeder to complete startup and handshake, then conduct following tests:
(1) Piaware
sudo systemctl status piaware -l.
(2) Planefinder
sudo systemctl status pfclient -l.
(3) Flightradar24
sudo systemctl status fr24feed -lFor Piaware:
sudo systemctl status piaware -l

Many thanks
(1) There was “timed out waiting for messages from dump1090…”. Can you please again run following and post only last few lines?
sudo systemctl status piaware -l(2) check the feed status of Planefinder by typing in address bar of your browser
< IP of Pi >:30053
It will show a map with planes. On this map, on top there is a menu bar. On menubar click tab “Logs” to see the live log of feed to Planefinder.
(3) Check feed status of Flightradar24 by typing in your browser address bar
< IP of Pi >:8754
The display will show if the feed is active or not.
For Piaware, the last few output lines are:
Oct 03 21:24:17 raspberrypi sudo[697]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

For Planefinder I get the map but no aircraft
For Flightradar24 I get a message ‘Unable to Connect’
Thank you
hmmmm… What do you see when you type following address in browser?
< IP of Pi >/dump1090/gmap.html
That’s working. I get the dump1090 Map with aircraft and the aircraft table
That means the dongle and dump1090-mutability both are working ok, but the data is somehow not reaching the feeders. Looks some misconfiguration of dump1090’s port numbers for data output.
Can you please give following command and post its output? It will show configuration of dump1090-mutability.
cat /etc/default/dump1090-mutabilityHi
This is what I get:
START_DUMP1090=“yes”
DUMP1090_USER=“dump1090”

(1)All port settings look good. Cant understand why data is not reaching the three data feeders 
. It is really surprizing.
(2) In this new forum, a comment-out # of scripts is treated as heading, making all comments very large and bold, making the post look ugly.
To get rid of this ugliness, please edit you post, and add a line at start before first line “dump1090-mutability configuration file”, and containing only this:
[,code,]
and another line at the end of post containing only this:
[,/code,]
(without commas which I had to put to make it visible to you)
Okay, many thanks. I’ll continue trialling different things
Thank you for your patience and advice.
Just last try. Edit file /etc/default/dump1090-mutability, and change the entry as follows
sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-mutability
# The above command will open file for editing.
#Scroll down to following entry
NET_BIND_ADDRESS=“127.0.0.1”
#remove 127.0.0.1, so the entry becomes:
NET_BIND_ADDRESS=“”
#Now save file (ctrl+o) and close editor (ctrl+x)
#Restart Pi
sudo rebootAfter reboot, check in your browser
< ip of pi >:8754
< ip of pi >:30053
It worked!!! Many thanks
One final question - how do I access the performance graphs?
Many thanks again for all you advice and help with this and also your patience
Nigel
I assume that you have already installed Web Portal using JProchazka’s “ADSB Project Scripts”.
If not, you cant see performance graphs. Install these first.
If already installed,
Graphs: < ip of pi >/graphs.php
Admin: < ip of pi >/admin/
If you have not yet done web portal configuration step: < ip of pi >/install/
Thanks
I did install but when I click on the ADS-B Receiver Project link at the bottom of the page I get the following message ‘Secure Connection Failed’
Also just noticed that FR24 isn’t working. Using :8754, I get ‘Problem Loading Page’ message
