BWMON

[Helder Santos]

Hello, I tried to install BWMON on my AX88U.
But after install I always get 404 error whe trying to reach http://<your_router_ip>:<lighttpd_port>/bwmon/index.html

Anyone using bwmon could guide me to find why I get the 404?

Thanks

I'm not aware of a version of bwmon for asuswrt-merlin. Where did you get it from?

I think he's talking about this one...

I have not run across any app using lighttpd yet, and not sure how well it behaves on our routers with everything else... but have you been able to determine what port this webserver is running on? If you have a way to change it, perhaps assign it like 8081 or something?

According to their instructions... it's port 8000... did you try that?

1. If you enabled lighttpd server for better performance you can visit http://your_router_ip:8000/bwmon.html. If you do not have lighttpd capability or have chosen not to run lighttpd you can visit the legacy page at http://your_router_ip/user/bwmon.html to view your stats.

Thanks, that explains it. I searched Entware for bwmon and found nothing. Obviously it would be called bmon!

If this is the version he's using that OpenWRT page says uhttpd is required of the web interface. uhttpd isn't available in Entware so perhaps it's not supported. Or maybe he's trying to use the DD-WRT version as @Viktor Jaep suggested.

Found it here: bwmon Github

Since I followed this
I changed my port in the conf file to 3000
Initially I was getting a 403 error, but it was related to an config in lighttpd.
After I fixed the issue with lighttpd... I started getting the 404.
I will look in the other links provided and see If I find something

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification. So it's none of the software packages we thought it was. VREMSoftwareDevelopment - there's a name from the past. They/he/she did the rstats/cstats stuff.

It won't work on 8000 and that url is different from the guide I followed. There's no file bwmon.html under the www folder

Yeah, sorry... I didn't know what source/guide you were using... That was just the first thing I found relating to BWMON. Chime in if you find a resolution?

 

[Helder Santos]

Ill update if I find a solution!

FYI the openwrt guide doesn't work (cannot install) on the latest Asus Merlin

master@RTAX88U:/tmp/mnt/ax88usb# opkg install uhttpd bmon
Unknown package 'uhttpd'.
Installing bmon (4.0-1) to root...

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package bmon.

But the iftop command found on that same guide works great. It's already better than nothing! Thanks

I tried the Entware bmon package and it works well but doesn't support HTTP output (AFAICT) like the OpenWRT version does. But it's a completely different type of utility compared the VREMSoftwareDevelopment software.

No errors when installing like I did get?

No. Just install the bmon package (it contains only one file - bmon). As I noted above the uhttpd doesn't exist in Entware.

Strange I get the following:

master@RTAX88U:/tmp/home/root# opkg install bmon

And when running opkg update

Found the issue... in my numerous tries to make bwmon work... I installed a wget nossl version....
opkg uses wget... so I broke opkg too!

I just followed this and fixed the issue. Wget works and opkg too!

Now I can try bmon !
