TivoWebPlus help

[marcolisi]

Hello, I am trying to run TivoWebPlub , but when in PuTTY I run the command 'tivoweb console' , I am getting this message. Any help please ?
I used Putty and vi to do this:

Change the default port, since the native tivo web server uses port 80. Edit tivoweb.cfg and change Port = 80 to Port = 8080.
Make sure the tivo firewall permits access on the port, unless you have disabled the tivo firewall. Edit /etc/netfilter-enable and add the line
$iptables -A block -p tcp --dport 8080 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

I re-run 'tivoweb console' , but nothing....same msg...
Help pls.
Thank you

Something is already running on 8080. Is Tivoweb already running?

To find out what has 8080, use fuser:

tivo3:~$ fuser 8080/tcp
8080/tcp: 488 491 495 496

which should give you 1 or more PIDs. Then, you can find out what that PID(s) belongs to:

tivo3:~$ ps | grep '488\|491\|495\|496'
488 root 5056 S /tvbin/tivosh /var/hack/TivoWebPlus/httpd-tt.tcl
491 root 5056 S /tvbin/tivosh /var/hack/TivoWebPlus/httpd-tt.tcl
495 root 5056 S /tvbin/tivosh /var/hack/TivoWebPlus/httpd-tt.tcl
496 root 5056 S /tvbin/tivosh /var/hack/TivoWebPlus/httpd-tt.tcl
20314 root 532 S grep 488\|491\|495\|496

What is fuser ?

I can tell u that I can browse to "http://[tivoaddress]:8080" with no problem and I see that under /sysadmin/Configure I changed username, password and port

I have no idea what Tivoweb is :-(
I am new at tivo. Does maybe Tivoweb automatically start with my lrhorer's scripted tivo ?
Thank you !

TivoWebPlus (TivoWeb is an earlier version) normally runs automatically.

Reboot your TiVo and then try browsing to "http://[tivoaddress]:80" without doing anything in PuTTY.

I can browse using my browser in "http://[tivoaddress]:8080" without any problem.

I was trying the 'extract' function in tivowebplus , but I get this msg:

Also, I am interested in getting into my tivo (tivowebplus) using my iphone, when in the street to schedule recrdings (for ex.). Do i need to do something more for that ?

Also, I was trying to install tytool, but it seems I can not copy files in var/hack/ directory using ftp :-(
I am getting a not allowed msg :-(

[marcolisi]

Ok, I did it !

I was able to install Tytool.

and

I can browse using my browser (while in home network) in "http://[tivoaddress]:8080" (tivowebplus)

Now, my question is , how do I control my tivo with my iphone from outside the home network ?

Thank you

[marcolisi]

Hi guys, I still need help please. Everytime the power of my tivo goes off (power outage in my home) and the tivo reboot, my TiwoWebPlus folder disappear and I have to reistall again tivowebplus from scratch. Is there a solution for it? Woul changing the permissions of the folder help? Shoul I use chmod 775 ?

Thanks!

I cannot answer your question, as I know pretty much nothing about the subject, but I can tell you that not having your TiVo on an Uninterruptible Power Supply is just asking for trouble.

Sounds like you have it in your VAR directory and the directory is full. See if you have room to move it out of VAR.
