STEP 4 : GETTING LIGHTTPD TO WORK ON YOUR SEAGATE GOFLEX SATELLITE

Transcription

1 STEP 4 : GETTING LIGHTTPD TO WORK ON YOUR SEAGATE GOFLEX SATELLITE Note : Command Lines are in red. Congratulations on following all 3 steps. This is the final step you need to do to get rid of the old interface and have just the directory listings of the hard drive. No DLNA indexing and having to wait for your media to appear. There are 5 files required. Download the files from Get the files into the packages folder you created in Step 1. CONNECT VIA SSH TO YOUR GOFLEX SATELLITE Connect via SSH session to Password is goflex ssh l root DISABLE THE UNREQUIRED SERVICES Navigate to /etc/rc5.d folder cd /etc/rc5.d/ ls There are few files to watch out for : a) run_scanner b) run_swap_scan_minidlna c) satellite_resume d) start_minidlna e) server_startup

2 MODIFY RUN_SWAP_SCAN_MINIDLNA Using your choice of editor, edit run_swap_scan_minidlna. In our example, we use vi vi run_swap_scan_minidlna At Row 10, comment out /etc/rc5.d/start/minidlna &. It should look like this # /etc/rc5.d/start/minidlna & MODIFY SATELLITE_RESUME Using your choice of editor, edit satellite_resume. In our example, we use vi vi satellite_resume Comment out killall arm-lighttpd At Row 4, add sleep 3

3 comment out /etc/rc5.d/start_minidlna & It should look something like this. MODIFY SERVER_STARTUP Using your choice of editor, edit server_startup. In our example, we use vi vi server_startup Add a new line on Row 2. This is for light-check. /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin/light-check.sh & Comment out the line 3 and 4 that reads /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin/arm-lighttpd f.

4 MODIFY START_MINIDLNA Using your choice of editor, edit start_minidlna. In our example, we use vi vi start_minidlna Somewhere down row 70, you will need to comment out /satellite_app/minidlna/sbin/minidlna f /satellite_app/minidlna/etc/minidlna.conf R HTTPD PROBLEM Because LIGHTTPD will quit when your Seagate GoFlex Satellite goes to suspend mode, we will have scripts running to check and make sure it is always running should it quit. 2 scripts are required. light-check.sh LIGHTTPD.sh Check the end of the documentation on the format of the scripts. The scripts are also part of the Step4.zip. You may choose to use them.

5 CREATE THE 2 REQUIRED SCRIPTS Go to satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin folder. Create lighttpd.sh and light-check.sh scripts. You can copy the contents from the back of this documentation. In this example, we use vi. vi lighttpd.sh vi light-check.sh Change the permission set for both files to 755 chmod 755 light-check.sh chmod 755 lighttpd.sh Check to make sure that the files has been created : CHECK SCRIPT EFFECTIVENESS Now it s time to test if the light-check script is working. Run PS and look out for the lighttpd process. In the example here, the process ID is Kill it. kill 1471 Run the light-check script../light-check.sh You should get some feedback from the script

6 Reboot the unit. (Hold the Power Button till it cuts off power and turn on again) Login and run PS to confirm that your scripts are running. You should see both the scripts in the Process as well as the arm-lighttpd as indicated : MODIFY LIGHTTPD.CONF [WARNING! THIS IS QUITE COMPLEX] You may also take what we have done and replace the file accordingly. The filename is lighttpd.conf. It is one of the 5 files your download in Step4.zip. Navigate to /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd folder Backup the original lighttpd.conf file. cp lighttpd.conf lighttpd.conf.bak Modify the lighttpd.conf file using your choice of editor. In our example, vi. vi lighttpd.conf Comment out server.bind = in line 98. Once you comment this out, access to the satellite is strictly via IP address. Comment out server.name = in line 99 Navigate to the shown section and remove everything behind and add in the following as shown. You can check it out at the back of this documentation.

7 UPLOAD THE MODULES AND MIME CONF FILES Copy the modules.conf into /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd Copy mime.conf into /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd/conf.d directory Remember to back up the original files first cp mime.conf mimeconf.bak cp modules.conf modules.conf.bak *TIP : You can use your favorite SFTP Client to dump the files in. If you have not setup SFTP, please refer to Step 2 of our Documentations. KILL HTTPD Kill httpd and let it restart by itself. In our example here, the process ID is 1481 ENABLE DIRECTORY LISTINGS Go /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd/conf.d and modify dirlisting.conf. Modify the line dir-listing.activate = disable. Change it to enable

8 CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE GOTTEN LIGHTTPD TO WORK ON YOUR SEAGATE GOFLEX SATELLITE! TEST IT BY ACCESSING VIA THE IP ADDRESS. Sample of light-check.sh #!/bin/sh # check that i am the only one running if ps www grep -v grep grep "lighttpd.sh" > /dev/null; then echo "There is more than one of myself!"; echo "Exiting"; exit else echo "Nothing running!" /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd.sh fi

9 Sample of lighttpd.sh #!/bin/sh daemon=true checktime=30 # Starting daemon like process while $daemon; do # checking for PID of lighttpd if [ -e /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/var/run/lighttpd.pid ]; then PID=`cat /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/var/run/lighttpd.pid`; echo "Checking lighttpd on $PID"; if [[ `ps grep $PID grep -v grep wc -l`!= 1 ]]; then # PID don't exist, start lighttpd. Assume lighttpd not started echo "Process does not exist"; echo "lighttpd starting" /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin/arm-lighttpd -f /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf else # Assume PID existing will match to lighthttpd echo "Process exist"; fi else echo "lighttpd not running."; echo "lighttpd starting" /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/sbin/arm-lighttpd -f /satellite_app/webservers/lighttpd/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf fi # sleep before next check /bin/sleep $checktime done

10 Final Ending for lighttpd.conf SSL Support To enable SSL for the whole server you have to provide a valid certificate and have to enable the SSL engine.:: ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/server.pem" The HTTPS protocol does not allow you to use name- based virtual hosting with SSL. If you want to run multiple SSL servers with one lighttpd instance you must use IP- based virtual hosting: :: $SERVER["socket"] == " :443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/private/ server.name = " server.document- root = "/srv/www/vhosts/example.com/www/" } If you have a.crt and a.key file, cat them together into a single PEM file: $ cat /etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.key /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.crt \ > /etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.pem #ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.pem" optionally pass the CA certificate here. #ssl.ca- file = "" # # custom includes like vhosts. #include "conf.d/config.conf" #include_shell "cat /etc/lighttpd/vhosts.d/*.conf"
