Try to make piratebox work properly

Hi alls.

First of thanks for the project. I'm newbie. I even try to learn linux By reason of piratebox.

Anyway i try to make piratebox run on my linux system. But when I've started piratebox, i receive these errors on the below and also when I've clicked forum and files on the top menu it redirects me home page.

/opt/piratebox/init.d/piratebox: 57: /opt/piratebox/init.d/piratebox: [[: not found

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance for the answers

Hi,
as I need to know, please post the output of the following commands from the system where you want to run the piratebox:

ls -l /bin/sh
cat /opt/piratebox/version

Which Linux distribution did you install?

Then you need to disable lighttpd from default bootup. to disable it, I need to know thich distribution you are running.

regards
Matthias

This is what i received as answers for the codes
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 29 2012 /bin/sh -> dash
piratebox-ws_1.0.1

I use elemantaryos. How will i disable lighttpd from default bootup?

When I entered this: sudo update-rc.d lighttpd stop

update-rc.d: warning: lighttpd start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)
update-rc.d: warning: lighttpd stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 6)

=============================================================

it is same for dnsmasq

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 29 2012 /bin/sh -> dash

Ok, the first issue, is that your default shell is "dash"

you have to switch that to "bash". Run the following commands to do this:

sudo rm -v /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

But that solves only the script issues during the start of PirateBox.

Can you point me to some sort of documentation about that elementaryos ? I can't find anything?
It seems a problem of this unknown linux-distribution, that you are not able to disable bootup.
Is there a particular reason why you haven chose and not used some common distribution like Debian or Ubuntu?
edit: I found the website [elementaryos.org] which has not enough documentation to find a solution, nor it is possible to search properly. I think you should try to contact the developers of elementaryOS to find out what the correct command is and maybe let them fix the bug (how it looks alike).

Thank you Matthias for your answers. There is no reason for the distro... I just like it.

sudo /opt/piratebox/init.d/piratebox start
* Starting script piratebox
Generating hosts file ....
Generating dnsmasq.conf .....
Generating Environment-config for lighttpd .....
Empty tmp folder
rm: cannot remove ‘/opt/piratebox/tmp/’: Is a directory
Copy over design files
* Starting hostap... [ OK ]
* Setting up wlan Bringing up wifi interface wlan0
Setting up wlan0
* Starting dnsmasq... [fail]
* Starting droopy... [ OK ]

* Starting lighttpd... [ OK ]
========================================================

I've tried another distros also and i receive same thing..for example lubuntu:

dnsmasq fails.... and can't see any wireless network of piratebox on other devices when I've searched.

For removing codes in the stage of required packages i always receive same errors:

sudo update-rc.d dnsmasq remove
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/dnsmasq exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
==============================================================

and I use this one;

sudo update-rc.d -f dnsmasq remove
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/dnsmasq ...
==============================================================

I don't know linux . I think it must be the actual problem

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is the same issue like you had with the lighttpd during the first try.

anyway. After you started the piratebox (like you log above), can you post me the result of

ps -ef

please?
