Lost access to web interface

couac 16 Sep 2008 13:59

Hi,

I'm a neebie and I tried to install ftp on my WD myBook world 1To this morning and everything was fine until i try this tip to use it as a web server : http://martin.hinner.info/mybook/lighttpd.php

Now i can't access the web interface at the local adress http://192.168.0.14 but webif still work at http://192.168.0.14:8080
SSH doesn't work either but ftp did (so i can remove or edit some files)

When i look in the process list of webif, i see nothing related to lighttp… is it normal ?

This is my process liste :

Hi.

The Back button, just does a Password reset.
You cant see the Web Interface, just because Lighttpd is not running, the Web interface runs under that web server.
Maybe you apply the hack in the wrong way, because if it got a error it wont start.
i suggest you to try to get your ssh back and revert what you did.

if you edit /etc/inetd.conf you can check if there is the ssh enable.
if you can not restore the webif, you can restore as original with this http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/manual-firmware-upgrade but you need ssh

thanx :-)

This is my /etc/inetd.conf (i don't change anything except adding the last line)

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd smbd -s/etc/smb.conf -l/var/log -d0
#swat stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat -a -d 1 -l /var/log
#tftp    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -c -s /tftpboot
#ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i
#telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/telnetd       telnetd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf

when i try to connect via ssh it says

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.14 port 22: Connection refused

So ssh works but it don't accept me ? Can i put the script http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/manual-firmware-upgrade in a .sh file which is executing automaticaly (i.e. /etc/init.d/inetd.sh) ? Or it will broke everything ?

The pound sign (#) turns the line into a comment.
You need to remove the # before ssh stream tcp….

But do you have telnet access?
I don't understand how else you can have access to its terminal….

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd smbd -s/etc/smb.conf -l/var/log -d0
#swat stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat -a -d 1 -l /var/log
#tftp    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -c -s /tftpboot

#telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/telnetd       telnetd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf

It should be like this.

The thing is, that maybe he apply martin hinner hack, but his hack just give you ssh access one time, is not permanent.
you must make it permanent. making this change.

then reboot
