Hey m1r0; LanPuppy currently is just the bare essentials to make it work.
LanPuppy Admin. GUI has tab panels for: Users, Hosts, Options, & other stuff.
This allows adding & removing: Users & PCs, & the Options are on going work.

When this base package is tested & proven I'll make an accounting add-on.
This'll keep track of the User's hours & billing, & eventually much more.

I prayed that the usual thing of code that works wouldn't suddenly stop working.
But in the typical fashion, it did... It's minor, but best I deal with it now.
Like the uncritical problem the other day, there's no reason for you to deal with it.
I posted for help in the "Users" forum here, take a look if you want to...

It looks like from MU's post that his site is temporarily off-line, I'll PM him.

m1r0; I've PMed MU & it looks like his site may be down for a little while.
I'm waiting for his reply, we'll see how it goes...

I've packaged LanPuppy & PupServer for downloading when MU's ready.

I don't have an IM account, nor do I have a cell phone for the same reason,
why would I want to be bothered by having myself be easily accessable?
The wife & kids all have M$ IM accounts, if needed we can do that.

It's pretty simple, just GunZip the file & then unTar it in / of the partition.
I use FAT32 partitions so setting up booting is really easy, I use DOS to boot.
There's an autoexec.bat file to run PupServer directly, or a pupserv.bat
file to be run by typing it in at the DOS prompt, this allows multi. booting.

If you want to put it on another type of partition, then you'll have to set it up.
SysLinux is my choice for a boot loader, but Grub is good also & popular.

PupServer "should" adapt itself to whatever network that it's dropped in to.
This is one of the MOST crucial tests for it, as it is a network server.

PupServer download size = 63MB ....... expanded size = 301MB (with 256MB SAVE file)
LanPuppy download size = 85MB ....... expanded size = 116MB

The PupServer package is a little larger than it should be because I haven't
remastered it yet, once it's well developed I'll take the trouble to do that.

There's 2 user's (UserName: us ,PassWord: US) (UserName: me ,PassWord: ME).
You can remove them & add others with the LanPuppyAdmin. utility.

There's many many parts to these 2 packages, I've tried everything out
but I'm sure there's stuff that'll fail on you, but hey... that's why it's "alpha".
As I said... your trying out is it's real test, & so far your the only tester.

This gives you an idea of what the setup will be like, if there's something
that's different with your setup, post it & we'll work that out.

I'll PM you when I get MU's info & it's uploaded... Terry

MU's site: puppyfiles.org has been suspended for reaching it's bandwidth limit already!

If it's a month to month type thing, then it'll be a week until we can access it.
I uploaded PupServer & LanPuppy, & before MU could move it, the site's gone.

I'll work with my friend at trying to bring his site up so your week isn't lost.

m1r0; Your instructions don't fit into gFtp, it only accepts:

Host, Port (not needed), User, & Pass.

I went to the url & it's there, so I used the url for the Host, but it won't connect.


So I need a genuine "Host" to fill in gFtp, I assume the User & Pass are correct.

PupServer

#38 Post by godog »

I managed to snag a copy off of mu upload server late last night and am giving it a spin. Pupserver comes up but w/o Samba and tftp. Should they have been part of the install or do I need to install manually?

Thanks in advance. First try looks good. Can't wait to get both ends going.

No... gFtp in Puppy works just fine, Firefox goes to the url,

but gFtp won't connect using the "url" for the "Host".

I tried adding: "ftp://" & "http://" to it & it just gives different errors.

Hi godog; Does "ps" show: nmbd, smbd, & xinet running?

The SAVE file should have all the startup scripts in it of course, so it should work.

I checked and no, they are not running. The eth0 interface is up and running and the conf files are in in lanpup_conf\etc. What else can I check for?

look at the file: /etc/rc.d/rc.local for the line: /etc/rc.d/rc.pupserv

look at the file: rc.pupserv for the lines:

/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start ##### Start Samba Server

mkdir /var/lib/dhcp3 # dhcpd setup
touch /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases
/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 ##### Start DHCP3 damon

mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot # tftpd setup
ln -s /mnt/home/tftpboot /
/usr/sbin/xinetd ##### Start XINET damon


They should all be there, in the pupSRV file.
/pupserv/lanpuppy_conf is just a backup dir., it isn't run from.

The dirs. in / of the chosen partition are:
/pupserv
/lanpup
/tftpboot
/docs
/public

and files in / are:
/pupSRV
/usr_cram.fs

too excited... got wrong files??

#49 Post by godog »

I cannot find any sign of DHCP, Samba or tftp starting. I must have grabbed the wrong files from MU ftp site. What I have is

PupServer1-10_alpha.tar.gz file size 64,633,894 and
LanPuppy1-10_SimplePup_alpha.tar.gz size 88,435,803

Please keep me posted as to when the correct(?) files are available. I have several machines ready and waiting for testing. Thanks again
