Root page and core.db is html file with redirect to http://piratebox.lan/content.
June 18, 2019 06:19PM
Setup:

- Rapberry Pi 3B
- piratebox_rpi2_1.1.4-11-05-2018.img


I have just installed piratebox, but I'm not sure what to do next. I've tried accessing it in the webbrowser and after a brief blank blank with only the word "redirect", the url is redirected to pirate.lan/content, but the page recieves an error: "Site is innaccessible" "err_connection_refused"

[update #1]

I've found the culprit, but not the solution yet.

[alarm@BwatduhPirat ~]$ cat /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db
<html>
<head><title>Redirect...</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://piratebox.lan/content" />
<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate' />
<meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache' />
<meta http-equiv='expires' content='0' />
</head>
<body>
Redirect
</body>
</html>

[update #2]

It's the same problem as [forum.piratebox.cc]

The time of my clock in piratebox is off saying it is 2018 and pacman cannot update.

[alarm@BwatduhPirat ~]$ pacman -Syu 
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Unrecognized archive format
...

[update #3]

I've tried..

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo sh -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf '

and..

sudo date -s "20170523 1742"

and rebooted.

The time just goes back to April 24 2018 again.

[update #4]

Also, I tried the following without rebooting

[alarm@BwatduhPirat ~]$ sudo date -s "20170523 1742"
Tue May 23 17:42:00 UTC 2017
[alarm@BwatduhPirat ~]$ sudo rm -R /var/lib/pacman/sync

Did you change the configuration? pirate.lan is not a domain we use in the latest version

Maybe you should use

sudo date -s "20170523 1742"
with a current date & time...

I'm terribly sorry.

I thought "Enable Fake-Timeservice"
meant I needed to set it to a default fake datetime.

It was also unclear in the installation manual what to do after it has all been setup.
That I had to visit http://192.168.x.x/content/ instead of [192.168.x.x] I didn't know either.
