Thanks man...

You mean this how to install packages on OpenWrt?

No, i have a router on Server AP mode...And i just have ssh connection via wireless with the router and PC, but i need install some packages and I do not want to change settings, i want install the packages via ssh or via RJ45 cable, or via serial Port...

But i do not know how to install them...i have the packages on my desktop and now how i can install them on router?

Thanks.

Oh the information was only in my head. Now it is in the wiki, please try again. ;-)

You need to download a ssh program (if you do not have) WinScp for Windows Systems.
Then login to the router via the Scp Program and upload the package to the /tmp directory then opkg install whatever.ipk

I have a Mac, i login via SSH via terminal with root@192.168.2.1...

then what i do? i use the command "cp /source /tmp" ??

Orca, srry but i dont understand where you are telling me to see...i go on link, but i not see the solution for my problem...

Sorry, maybe it is just in front of my eyes but I do not see ...

Thanks all...

If anyone can help me i appreciate...

Thanks..

best solution would be try to use own brains
what about search for ssh file transfer program for mac , transfer *.ipk to router /temp dir and install it from there ?

You need to use scp on your Mac. Its built it. On your Mac:

1. Start the Terminal program
2. Change to the directory where you have the .ipk you want to install
3. Enter this command:

scp <name of ipk> root@<ip address of router>:/tmp

It should ask you to enter the root password of your router in, it will then copy the file.

4. SSH to your router, run "opkg install /tmp/<name of ipk>

5. Done.

Or the way I do it:

1) setup a local web server in your LAN (subnet)

2) put the package repository in there

3) change /etc/opkg.conf on the router to point to your local package repository

4) install packages as you do normally with: opkg update; opkg install foobar

In german language we distinguish between Arbeitsspeicher ("working" memory = usually RAM) and Speicher (= memory or storage).

See example commands. And definitely OpenWrt Partitions.

If you would have followed the OpenWrt Introduction, you would know most of that by now, without annoying the support.

PS: are you for real, or do you just participate in this forum to try people?

Install "nginx" as a Reverse Proxy Server on a local host @192.168.1.2.

Modify ./nginx/conf/nginx.conf,

server {
    listen    80;
    server_name    localhost;
#    location / {
#        root    html;
#        index    index.html index.htm;
#    }
    location / {
        proxy_pass    http://downloads.openwrt.org/;
        proxy_redirect    default;
    }
}

and start nginx. Start a browser and visit http://192.168.1.2 or http://127.0.0.1 to see if it works.

To revert luci_hosts configuration,

root@OpenWrt:~# uci revert luci_hosts

In this way, you don't have to worry about package dependence.

Edit:
There's no need to alter LAN gateway. The "ping" after "luci_hosts restart" had proved it.

Nice howto, but he simply ran out of space.

Run "df" and look at /overlay or /jffs.

Orca i'm real, not trying anyone, just have some difficults...and i'm newer on this plataform...sorry for the stupid questions people...

And thanks for help...

I go try them...

How i can free blocks??

root@OpenWrt:~# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                    1280      1280         0 100% /

Thanks..

There should be plenty of space left. Please take a look at "/etc/opkg.conf".

Could you follow #18?

I dont understand, what you mean with "follow #18"?

Thanks,
