@fossette Thanks so much for this helpful tip. I uncommented the other repositories in distfeeds.conf and found mysql-server

I previously installed mysql-server using the instructions on the onion wiki

But since I updated firmware and opkg which required me to install apps again... mysql-server seems to be missing.

I am successfully serving a web page using uhttpd on port 81 and installed php-cgi... but I need a database too

Totally understandable that you are frustrated when things don't work-- but it's important to provide details of your setup and what you have tried to narrow the problem, because for some of us, the Omega 2+ works fine.

I connected to mine directly via wifi, set it up in my router using the console, used the serial console with a USB-TTL converter, then SSH'd in from an iPad via wifi, installed nano, (although I had to make a symbolic link of one of the libraries) Python, Apache, MySQL, PHP... and I have journalism and law degrees, not computer science.

Maybe power is an issue or a dock? I use my Onion Omega 2+ only with AMS1117-3.3V Mini USB 5V/3.3V DC Precise Power Supply Module I bought for 99 cents hooked to a 1A 5v USB power brick.

The onion cloud seems to work with Google Chrome (not on iOS though because it uses same webkit as Safari) but not Safari on Mac.

Hello. Installed apache and php.

Apache installed but when I try to access a webpage on the Omega,

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at you@example.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 400 Bad Request error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

/var/log/error_log shows

[Tue Jan 10 20:55:10.361474 2017] [http:error] [pid 137444435696:tid 1992351000] [client 10.0.1.4:63046] AH02429: Response header name 'Content-Length' contains invalid characters, aborting request

What does the error mean? Google is no help. This is a fresh install

Why does it refer to 10.0.1.4 when my Omega is 10.0.1.6?

Also Onion's LAMP wiki mentions installing php5 but only php7 is now available. I suggest revising the wiki to refer only to php, and create symbolic links for opkg "php" packages to whatever latest php is

For now I did a dirty hack of making a symbolic link of libncursesw.so.6 to libncurses.so in /usr/lib

/usr/lib/ln -s libncurses.so libncursesw.so.6

It seems there are a bunch of libncurses references all linked to libncursesw.so.5

Nano works now

I find it almost impossible to post here using my ipad. Safari keeps freezing up and has to be restarted. It's too bad because on my ipad I can have a split screen with a SSH terminal on one side and a safari window on the other which is great for learning python.

but posting errors requires going back to my mac.

My omega 2+ works fine... I can ssh in via wifi using my iPad and a SSH app, and install python3 ok and use it interactively.

I cannot use nano or joe. They will install and "configure" with opkg but when I run them I get a long list of errors starting with a failure in libncursesw.so.6

Hello. I received my omega 2 and it works great. I have accessed it via usb serial and via web console on mac. Note on mac web console acccess to onion cloud works on chrome but not safari when trying to access onion cloud.

Onion cloud and omega console do not work on ios browsers, safari or chrome (i believe they share same guts on ios due to apple rules) i just get a blank screen in my browser though the title says onion console or onion cloud

I would really love to use my omega 2 thru my ipad mini
