Uhttpd install

Device suddenly can't not log into luci but ssh still work, tried to force reinstall luci but failed

root@iStoreOS:~# opkg install luci

 * opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download uhttpd. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci.

now uhttpd is gone as well

root@iStoreOS:~# /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
-ash: /etc/init.d/uhttpd: not found

I tried to search how to reinstall uhttpd and no luck, seems official repository doesn't contain uhttpd anymore.
Any thoughts? Or I have to reinstall the whole system? Thanks.

Did you ???

Diaoboom · July 14, 2023, 4:36am

Yes, I did, thanks for the input.

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

Installing uhttpd (2022-10-31-23977554-2) to root...

Curiously, your package database seems to assume that there version "-2" of uhttpd from that date. The 22.03 download for contains only version 1.

uhttpd_2022-10-31-23977554-1_x86_64.ipk

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.4/packages/x86_64/base/

You could manually download the .ipk to /tmp in router, install it with opkg, and see if that helps.

Thanks, that was what I was asking. After reboot it is running in the service.
But I still don't see port 80 being listening.

Any idea? Thanks.

frollic · July 14, 2023, 9:51am

Is the process there ?

Diaoboom · July 14, 2023, 9:57am

Thanks for reminding me, when I reboot and check it right away it shows

/etc/init.d/uhttpd                 enabled         running

and now it shows

/etc/init.d/uhttpd                 enabled         stopped

Any idea how I can address the problem? Thanks.

frollic · July 14, 2023, 10:17am

So it dies, check dmesg, but I would guess it's a conf issue, like missing dirs or perhaps package dependencies.

hnyman · July 14, 2023, 10:22am

Check the system log with logread, hopefully it shows some explanation.
Possibly a crash?

Then it is a question of reason...
Something in your uhttpd config?
Binary incompatibility, especially if if you downloaded the package from a different site than your firmware.

frollic · July 14, 2023, 10:25am

Try to execute the binary from os, w/o any params, see if it even starts.

Diaoboom · July 14, 2023, 10:38am

I install the uhttpd with

--force-maintainer 
--force-reinstall  
--force-overwrite

So I assume the uhttpd config is by default right now?

how can I read the log with logread while it is running? I am pretty new to this, appreciate your help.

hnyman · July 14, 2023, 10:43am

"logread" is the command to read the log from ssh console. Just type it from ssh and see if there is anything about uhttpd.

("dmesg" would be the command for kernel log)

Diaoboom · July 14, 2023, 10:44am

How can I execute what you said? Do you mean?

/firstboot

frollic · July 14, 2023, 11:20am

firstboot will reset your device.

Just type uhttpd (or uhttpd).

Diaoboom · July 15, 2023, 1:57am

Error: No sockets bound, unable to continue

That's what I got.
And I looked up on the internet and tried

uhttpd -p 80 -h /www

And I can logged into luci for now.
What am I missing?
