I had an issue with my previous image on my PiAware so i re-flashed the SD card. followed the directions at https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install. completed the entire directions after the reboot, the Pi boots up like normal but will not launch the Flight aware software.
any and all help is appreciated.
What happens when you go to http://ip_address of your Pi? Which browser and what error messages, if any?
Make sure you don’t have any settings, extensions or add-ons in your browser which are forcing https because it needs to be http.
If you have another Linux terminal available try the command below. It should return a line that says “This is a PiAware ADS-B feeder”
curl -s http://ip_address | grep ADS-B
for `http://ip_address i get the message

You should replace this page with your own web pages as soon as possible.
Unless you changed its configuration, your new server is configured as follows:
Configuration files can be found in /etc/lighttpd. Please read /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/README file.
The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www/html.
CGI scripts are looked for in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, which is where Debian packages will place their scripts. You can enable cgi module by using command "lighty-enable-mod cgi".
Log files are placed in /var/log/lighttpd, and will be rotated weekly. The frequency of rotation can be easily changed by editing /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd.
The default directory index is index.html, meaning that requests for a directory /foo/bar/ will give the contents of the file /var/www/html/foo/bar/index.html if it exists (assuming that /var/www/html is your DocumentRoot).
You can enable user directories by using command "lighty-enable-mod userdir"

for the “curl -s http://ip_address | grep ADS-B” (i SSH from windows 10 to Pi) i get nothing.
the Pi boots, but i just get the command prompt login. normally i would get the PiAware 8.2 splash screen followed by the 4 status of:
PiAware Feeder
1090 Receiver
FlightAware feed
Multilateration
but on the Newly imaged SD card nothing just sits at the Linux prompt
What are output of these commands?

again thanks for the help
(1) Please install piaware-web by following command
sudo apt install piaware-web
(2) Next from your Desktop or Laptop in it’s Browser, go to following addresses. What do you see?
IP-of-Pi
IP-of-Pi/skyaware/
@abcd567
I think that did the trick. i now see the status of this feeder.
Thanks again so much.
so i had a power outage last night. after power came back the raspberry pi boots but only asks of username and password does not load pi-aware. any ideas what to do to get it to reboot?
sudo apt install piaware-web
shows that the piaware-web is already installed.
Try this:
sudo apt install --reinstall piaware-web
