@Andrew-Doherty Seems like rc.common does exist. It doesn't startup automatically?

Andrew Doherty

Nope, tells me it cant find it, everything else starts OK like mysql

Boken Lin

@Andrew-Doherty It's telling you that it cannot find the /etc/init.d/apache file or /etc/rc.common file? And you can show me the output that says that?

Andrew Doherty

Boken Lin

@Andrew-Doherty Can you try running /etc/init.d/apache start?

Andrew Doherty

I get the same error.

Boken Lin

@Andrew-Doherty Can you try replacing the content of /etc/init.d/apache with the following:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
START=95
start() {
    sleep 5
    apachectl start
}
restart() {
    apachectl restart
}
stop() {
    apachectl stop
}

Hi @Boken-Lin , found the problem! I use notepad++ to produce the file in windows when it saves it notepad uses windows line returns. Switching this to unix in edit - EOL conversion it then started to work as expected. Thanks for your help, I hope this helps others in a similar position.

@Andrew-Doherty That's fantastic! Thanks for letting us know the solution

i facing error while running the phpmyadmin

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpseclib\Crypt\Random in /usr/share/htdocs/phpmyadmin/libraries/phpseclib/Crypt/Random.php on line 43

but if i check the php version and i will get an normal output without error .

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

@chee-sum-kong Hmmm, seems that there might be some bug in the code for phpmyadmin. According to this post, this bug should have been addressed in version 4.4.15.4 of phpmyadmin: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/11892. Can you check which version you are running? We may need to manually upgrade the package to a newer version.

Why can't I install the apache?
The following message appears :

root@Omega-****:/# opkg install apache
Unknown package 'apache'.
Collected errors:

opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package apache.

@dawn-dew
Uncomment the fifth line of the /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf file.
Maybe you should uncomment the first and the second lines too because of dependencies.

@György-Farkas
Thank you very much.)
Thanks to you, the apache was installed.

Another problem came up.

root@Omega-****:~# apachectl start
(125)Address in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.0.22:80

@dawn-dew
You have an Omega2(+). Your starting point - this whole thread up to your post, including the tutorial(s) - is related to Omega ie. the previous version. I supposed you know this. So probably this is not an out-of-the-box solution for you.

opkg info apache has some busybox warning.
There is a running web server (uhttpd) on Omega2 by default.
You should inspect the config file(s) extensively.

@György-Farkas hi!
I still can't install the apache on my Omega2+

Juste extended the memory to a USB, uncommented the 5-th line in distfeeds.conf
Everything seems to be working, but apache isn't getting installed.

if I go "opkg install apache" it says "Unknown package 'apache'"
and if "opgk find apache" it says "Segmentation fault"

Please help.
Thanks.

Douglas Kryder

@Kirill-Metrokhin are you running b160 firmware? that segmentation fault warning was a problem prior to build b160. the apache may be on a different server. if you already use b160 try re-install if not too big an issue.

That Segmentation fault is an opkg bug - see also here.
Sorry I don't know why opkg install apache isn't working now.

Here you are an alternative method:
Download that package to some directory - for example with wget <package.ipk>
Within that directory run the command opkg install <package.ipk>

@György-Farkas, @Douglas-Kryder
Thanks guys a lot! I was searching around, don't know exactly what I've done but apache installed now.
