Not working on Raspberry Pi 3 B+
November 18, 2018 07:39PM
I've followed all the instructions and even a few Youtube Videos which just goes over the instructions again. Its works for them but not me.

First, When you connect and open a browser on an Android phone or a Windows 7 Laptop, it doesn't auto redirect to the page on the pi. After entering several different web addresses, it will finally redirect.

Second, Nothing is saved after a power cycle. If the power is unplugged from the pi and then reconnect, its like nothing was uploaded to the files, the chat wasn't used and the forum is blank.

1. Make sure to NOT use a httpS page, which is commonly used today. HTTPS can't be redirect and end up in an error. Make sure to enter something like
Language: PHP
http://neverssl.com
2. Chat is always recycled during reboot. If you want to have it permanent, you need to do a modification.
3. Blank forum indicates a bug, or a miss configuration.
4. Vanished uploaded files indicate, that you immediately power cycled the device or it is the same root cause like 3.

If you wan to track this down further, please post the output of the following commands
mount
ls -l /mnt
ls -l /opt/piratebox/
ls -l /opt/piratebox/share
cat /opt/piratebox/version
cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
