My point is I changed all them and it still messing up, is there away to remove the redirect and recreation full stop?
I read throw the conf files and none said anything about removing these options.
Your path to make it N00B proof as in some places make it more complex, it redirects back to piratebox.lan even when you have edited the files all the tuts on here show you, it will go to the new domain if you enter it, but if you go to another domain it will still go to piratebox, I liked PB's set up part from this really, I been able to install and set up everything on the pi manualy part from the fake DNS and domain name what I would love,
Sorry if you think I am a foolish NOOB but before I posted ONCE I followed tut's and and I reinstalled and tried many ways to make sure I was not at fault here, documentation on all this lacking and I understand it was made to fit one need, but I don't understand why the hold thing wants to revert all the time.
- Change hostname , Changed how all the tuts on here say but revierts all the time not sure why
- Change SSID Changed
- Adjust the Directory listing *source files* in opt/piratebox/src (HEADER.TXT: README.TXT), did this but it bugged out and would no longer let any links work it always redrected.
- Make you adjustments in your copy of content in share/content I took ownership of the folders so a USB drive was not needed, the end project wouldn't have the USB, eathernet or GPI ports anymore to cut down on size and the housing used in the project.
Since you already lock the folders on the main sd card, I don't see the need for all the redircts or the fact for it to replace all the time, there are many good move commands in Linux what could be used for the first time move of the files to the USB.
The Web host side is VERY confusing and makes no sense, I been dealing with web hosting for about 10 years on both platforms and this is the only one that's ever confused the hell out of me, I can't even follow the default setting for that hosting platform as you edited enough for it to make no sense to every other source online.
Once again I can see this is to create one fix need but its locking out so many good ideas for the IMG, I not going to stop learning or following the project but in places it does become over complex.
Maybe make the hosting side a little more like any other hosting platform so people don't have to edit this and that then another then another, this is poinless, to make it stream line and useful and N00B friendly it should have a basic config for it all/
What I think you should do, now you include php enable this by default, and use a config file outside the main www folder, remove any need for the www content folder at all, you can move the www to a usb and use a symbolic link or just change the path address in the host platform, this means you can use one domain name setting in the config file and using php can include all changes across all the pages you include the redirects, but using php should also remove the need for redirects on the uploader and things like this.
At the moment PB is epic, And I didn't have this much trouble with the older versions before 1.1 but I understand you have to tweak and edit things but i really do belieave in your path to make things better you making it more complex then it needs to be.
I understand that you might not agree with me, but you state you want to make it n00b friendly and I am a n00b to this, well it's not n00b friendly, it was much easier for me to set up a basic rasbin image and install php, dns, hostapd,(host I opted for apatch),
I am missing the fake domain, the dns redirect and so on, I still like the smaller footprint of PB, and the simple set up at the start, the project I want it for is for n00bs even more simple then me, they need to be able to upload my php framework, and deploy it.
PB offered the basics what I wanted at the start, board, chat, upload, home page, but when the home page was over riding my work all the time no matter what, even when I edited both www n www content including all other files you said, I went very blue in the face,
Since i wanted to add options of the users to be able to upload there own project sites/pages/blogs so on, I created a directroy system also but even putting a new folder /test/index.php no matter where it was passed would flash the page and take it back to the main piratebox.lan, got do made I even deleted every redirect and it just got stuck in a loop, I even removed the 404 in the config file no look.
I downloaded that image more then once also.
I am a n00b I agree and I didn't mean any disrespect at all with ANY of my posts, but I am not stupid and I know how to follow basic tuts online, and I know new versions means new tweaks so I made sure I followed a good few, but seems I failed at all paths.
If you could help making your mini host work like a normal mini host I be happy and be back on PB asap, if you can't maybe tips on how to get the domain and dns to work on a normal rasbin OS?
Thanks, and sorry if you feet I was disrepecting the project.
