expat-1.95.8

There's already expat-2.0.1. Is there a package that requires the older version?

Hi,
If you`d like me to compile some other stuff, tell me,

Any chance of a TFTP server?

got some time @ work ;-)

In that case I'd be happy to swap jobs

atftpd would be ok?

If it works ..... yep!

First thing's first - I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux. The closest I've come to Linux is through dabbling a bit with Asterisk/Trixbox/Elastix. I can change directories, copy & move files/directories & use nano & vi to edit config files without necessarily understanding what I'm editing That's the extent of my knowledge.

Currently, I have a number of VoIP phones which can be configured through the use of a TFTP server running on my Windows XP machine. Having recently purchased a DNS-323, I'd like to be able to use it to it's fullest potential by utilizing the ftp/http features and creating the ability for the phones to pull config files off the DNS-323 rather than my XP machine.

I've installed fun_plug without issue. I downloaded & attempted to install tftp-hpa-0.48 and TFTP Server but got easily confused whilst reading the readme & install files. Obviously I need to undertake quite a lot more reading/research & comprehend the info I come across.

In response to your question, if atftpd can achieve my initial requirements, then by all means I'd be satisfied with that.

That would be great. No rush.

If there are any Problems please tell me.

Don't seem to be having much luck trying to run atftpd.

Dowloaded the tarball, and using Windows Explorer,  copied the file to Volume_1 then:

Telnet 192.168.x.x
/ # cd /mnt/HD_a2
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i atftpd-0.7.tgz
Installing package atftpd-0.7 ...
/mnt/HD_a2 #

I then tried running atftpd but got:

/mnt/HD_a2 # atftpd
Usage: tftpd [options] [directory]
[options] may be:
  -t, --tftpd-timeout <value>: number of second of inactivity before exiting
  -r, --retry-timeout <value>: time to wait a reply before retransmition
.
.
.
.
  -V, --version              : print version information
  -h, --help                 : print this help

[directory] must be a world readable/writable directories.
By default /tftpboot is assumed.
/mnt/HD_a2 #

I then created a tftpboot directory:

/mnt/HD_a2 # mkdir tftpboot
/mnt/HD_a2 #

and then edited atftpd.sh:

/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start # vi atftpd.sh

changing atftpd_share="/mnt/HD_a2/" to atftpd_share="/mnt/HD_a2/tftpboot/"

Tried running atftpd again but got the same result as above. What am I missing?

please try to start it over sthe start script which is located in /ffp/start/atftpd.sh =>

Code:

sh /ffp/start/atftpd.sh start

That did the trick!

then check if it is running

Code:

sh /ffp/start/atftpd.sh status

You read my mind - that was going to be my next question

I'll test it out with my files over the weekend.

Thanks for the help so far, stylesuxx.

But if I may add one thing: get rid of telnet and activate ssh ;-)

Don't worry, I will. I had it enabled initially but whilst I'm playing around with the unit deleting files, reformatting drives, etc, it's not a concern at this stage. Eventually, the unit will become accessible from the Net which, in that case, I'll definitely enable SSH & disable telnet.

Hey, no Prob you are welcome, tell me if it works for you :-)

Kinda does but it will only allow 1 file to be downloaded before it 'hangs'.

After playing around all weekend trying to get my VoIP phone to download config files off the tftp server without success, I reverted to using the Windows command prompt to try & figure out what was/wasn't happening.

After starting atftpd.sh I opened up a Windows cmd prompt to download a test file. The initial 'GET' would download the file ok but any subsequent attempts resulted in time-outs:

C:\>tftp -i 192.168.1.234 get test1.txt
Transfer successful: 10 bytes in 1 second, 10 bytes/s

C:\>tftp -i 192.168.1.234 get test1.txt
Timeout occurred

Restarting atftpd.sh & trying again yields the same result as above - ie. 1 file downloaded & then time-outs.

During this I ran the 'ps aux' to see what processes were running. I noted that when atftpd.sh first ran, there was only one instance of atftpd:

2791 nobody   /ffp/sbin/atftpd --daemon --port 69 --user nobody --group 501 /mnt/HD_a2/

but as soon as I downloaded the test file & ran 'ps aux' again, there were two atftpd processes:

2791 nobody   /ffp/sbin/atftpd --daemon --port 69 --user nobody --group 501 /mnt/HD_a2/
2797 root     /ffp/bin/sh
2833 nobody   /ffp/sbin/atftpd --daemon --port 69 --user nobody --group 501 /mnt/HD_a2/

and any subsequent download attempts would time-out.

On the other hand, if I add '--no-fork' as a start-up option in atftpd.sh, although the daemon sits in the foreground, I can download multiple instances of the test file without problem.

Got any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers,

HmmmSo try exchanging the executable line in the start script with the following =>

Thanks heaps stylesuxx - works a treat now

After adding --no-fork& the VoIP phone is now able to pull down all the required config files. To test, I changed a few parameters in the config files & then forced the phone to update. After a reboot the phone initialized with the new changes.

Life is good for now

Thanks once again!

@stylesuxx:
would you like to maintain a repository of compiled packages for the DNS? Or do you have a website where one can download the packages you compiled?

stylesuxx, could I get access to your ejabberd compilation. Thank you.

Thank you. Cheers.

it would be really cool if we got a murble service running on the dns323 but ti requires qt.
for info on murble try http://mumble.sourceforge.net/
