Linux Step-By-Step

This short howto describes step-by-step how to install the MMDVMHost-Dashboard on a Raspberry Pi (or similar) system using a Debian Linux distribution like Raspbian.

##Installation Steps

  1. Update your system:

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

  2. Install a lightweight webserver:

    sudo apt-get install lighttpd

  3. Create a group for the webserver and add yourself to it:

    sudo groupadd www-data

    sudo usermod -G www-data -a pi

  4. Set permissions so you and the webserver have full access to the files:

    If you use a current Raspbian Jessie, use following commands:

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

    sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html

    If you use a Raspian Wheezy use:

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

    sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www

  5. Install PHP5 and enable the required modules:

    sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-cgi php5

if you want to use the sqlite3-database based resolving of the operator-names you need following, too:

>sudo apt-get install sqlite3 php5-sqlite

Now continue with:

>sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi

>sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php

>sudo service lighttpd force-reload

  1. To install the dashboard you should use git for easy updates:

    sudo apt-get install git

  2. Now you can clone the dashboard into your home directory:

    cd ~

    git clone https://github.com/dg9vh/MMDVMHost-Dashboard.git

  3. Next, you need to copy the files into the webroot so they can be served by lighttpd:

    If you are using Raspbian Jessie, run:

    sudo cp -R /home/pi/MMDVMHost-Dashboard/* /var/www/html/

    If you are using Raspbian Wheezy, run:

    sudo cp -R /home/pi/MMDVMHost-Dashboard/* /var/www/

  4. To make sure the dashboard is served instead of the default "index.html", cd into the webroot /var/www/html respectively /var/www and remove that file:

    sudo rm index.html

  5. Finally, you need to configure the dashboard by pointing your browser to http://IP-OF-YOUR-HOTSPOT/setup.php . This will create /var/www/html/config/config.php respectively /var/www/config/config.php which contains your custom settings.

Now the dashboard should be reachable via http://IP-OF-YOUR-HOTSPOT/

##Configuration Of Dashboard When configuring the dashboard, make sure to set the correct paths for logs etc. If they are wrong, no last-heard or similar information will be shown on the dashboard!
