Piaware homepage css lighttpd help

turbodogfl · May 31, 2021, 2:04pm

Have been trying to add the piaware homepage to a rpi feeder without reimaging. Have been copying the files and folders from /var/www/html from a working rpi to this one. Am currently getting this page without the buttons. What is missing?

The working unit has this debug command result

pi@c5660:/var/www/html $ sudo journalctl --no-pager -u lighttpd
-- Logs begin at Fri 2021-05-28 03:17:01 EDT, end at Mon 2021-05-31 10:13:16 EDT. --

pi@c5660:/var/www/html $

Non working unit has fewer entries in ls/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled

sudo apt install piaware-web

Just do it correctly?

still the same

That sounds like pihole, not sure if it can work.

ls /etc/lighttpd/conf-available
ls /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled

Maybe it needs enabling the lighttpd module for some reason …

not using pihole but tried following a pihole thread that seemed to be similar

sudo lighty-enable-mod piaware
sudo systemctl restart lighttpd

All the messing with /var/www/html was not very useful by the way

turbodogfl · May 31, 2021, 4:39pm

That was the magic solution. Thank you!
so that’s how you add to

ls /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled
07-mod_setenv.conf  50-piaware.conf     88-tar1090.conf      89-skyaware.conf
47-stat-cache.conf  88-graphs1090.conf  89-skyaware978.conf  95-tar1090-otherport.conf

What is a better way? Would it involve comparing installed packages?

wiedehopf · June 1, 2021, 11:14am

You would check the lighttpd configuration things and check what provides that / alias.
The configuration file is something you could have even copied probably (and the folder of html/css it points to, it doesn’t use /var/www/html)
But ideally you just know the package name or ask for it.

The package should normally enable its lighttpd configuration on install … apparently that doesn’t always happen.

For anyone else trying to install … the FA status page in the webroot:

sudo apt install piaware-web
sudo lighty-enable-mod piaware
sudo systemctl restart lighttpd

turbodogfl · June 1, 2021, 12:07pm

The first command was enough for another pi that would give 403 Unauthorized for the webroot

sudo apt install piaware-web
