Can not access web GUI with LuCI installed

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, I could not access the web GUI via 192.168.1.1, with LuCI installed. When visiting 192.168.1.1, I get 192.168.1.1 refused the connection. I tried both https://192.168.1.1 and http://192.168.1.1.

I can not find the WIFI of my router on my computer, so I connect my computer to the router through a cable. Using a cable, I can access my 192.168.1.1 through ssh and I can also access to the Internet.

I am currently using Mi Router 4A (MIR4A)(Gigabit Edition), installing OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r13499-7b4877c204 following this link. This snapshot do not have LuCI and I install LuCI using following commands according to Openwrt LuCI essential

opkg update
opkg install luci
opkg update
opkg list luci-app-\*

I also tried the command '/etc/init.d/uhttpd start' or '/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable'. I reboot my router several times. I also tried to change 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.2 by editing /etc/config/network through ssh. However, these attempts did not work at all.

I also tried using the following command referring to this post

/usr/sbin/uhttpd -f -h /www -r 192.168.1.1 -x /cgi-bin -t 60 -T 30 -k 20 -A 1 -n 3 -N 100 -R -p 0.0.0.0:80

and I get a strange page when visiting 192.168.1.1

Thanks for your attention! Thank you in advance!

are you missing perhaps some of the output that came after when you ran this command?

in short... running third party firmware and expecting predictable outcomes for wiki guides is unrealistic... ( but credit to you for supplying relavent info in your OP... thankyou! )

your first point of call should be the maker of said firmware...

in addition to what wulfy23 wrote.

Do you have anything in the /www dir, it looks very empty.

Thank you for your reply. It is my fault that I ignore the error report when installing luci, thanks for your reminding!

Yes, it is empty. In fact, I do not know anything about /www as a freshman to Openwrt.

you should really approach the firmware maker re: updates as there are known bugs and issues with snapshots older than a month or so... alternatively... read up re: 21.02 snapshot it may be supported on your board and a much stabler/reliable way forward for you...

( edit: I think in this case the firmware maker semi-intends the provided image to be used as a stepping stone during initial python based installer script... in this case an older firmware is not so much an issue... but once initially flashed... you should then update to an official image ... as intended via the stepping stone firmware )
