chillispot

[kswiss]

i need help with the setup of chillispot.i am using ubuntu 8.04
i followed the installation instructions on http://www.chillispot.info/release.html and after the installation i tried going to my web browser and entered https://192.168.16.183/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi and the results were that firefox cant establish a connection to the server at 192.168.16.183 which is the ip address of my machine.
on using http://192.168.16.183/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi the result is chillispot login failed:login must use encrypted connection.
please give me detailed installation instructions and configuration steps so that i can start from scratch.

thank you.

Apache is running. Are there any errors in Apache's error log?

[kswiss]

this is what i get when i enter the info in the terminal as root as u specified:

peter@peter-desktop:~$ sudo bash

[sudo] password for peter:

root@peter-desktop:~# tcp 00*:www:*:*LISTEN 16365/apache2

bash: tcp: command not found

root@peter-desktop:~#


it does not seem to recognise the tcp command

[DualFusion]

kswiss, falko was only quoting the output of netstat -tap in which apache is running, not to enter that as a command, what he meant by "Are there any errors in Apache's error log?" was to do this:

vi /var/log/apache2/error.log

and scroll to the bottom

I coded as u told me and below are the results obtained:

Looks ok. Are you using a firewall? What's the output of

iptables -L

?

[kswiss]

hi falko,
there was a firewall but i disabled it......now i have a new problem, chillispot seems to be working well and i even get the login page bt my problem is that using phpmyadmin i am unable to add users. when i go to my sql i find that there is a database called radius but i dont know how to add a username and password that i can use to login to chillispot. Is there a default user or do i need to add one manually?
Please help..

[falko]

I'm afraid I can't help you. I've never used Chilispot...
