dnsmasq.postconf not working with merlin 386.1 on asus 66u_b1

[gecongjie]

I tried the following content in /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf, none worked (/tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf doesn't change).

#!/bin/sh​

CONFIG=$1​

source /usr/sbin/helper.sh​

​

pc_replace "cache-size=1500" "cache-size=10000" $CONFIG​

​

#!/bin/sh​

CONFIG=$1​

source /usr/sbin/helper.sh​

​

pc_replace "cache-size=1500" "cache-size=10000" /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf​

​

#!/bin/sh​

CONFIG=$1​

sed -i 's/cache-size=1500/cache-size=10000/g' $CONFIG​

​

#!/bin/sh​

CONFIG=$1​

sed -i 's/cache-size=1500/cache-size=10000/g' /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf​

​

After inputting helper.sh pc_replace "cache-size=1500" "cache-size=10000" /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf with putty, the file /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf does not change, however, the file does change after the command sed -i 's/cache-size=1500/cache-size=10000/g' /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf, but that doesn't have any real effect. Where did I go wrong?

Did you set the file properties to 755?

Make sure JFFS scripts and custom configs is enabled in the GUI. Make sure your script is executable. Make sure the line endings are correct if you uploaded the file from a PC.

nvram set jffs2_scripts=1
nvram commit
chmod u+x /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf
dos2unix /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf
service restart_dnsmasq

My scripts folder looks like this and all my other scripts are working fine. But you do make me notice that this is the only script with a dot. I made the file in WinSCP. Should I try touch?

Just noticed your codes. Trying now.

If you ran the commands I posted and it still didn’t update correctly, there’s something wrong with your script content, most likely. Post the current contents of your script.

I didn't run thoese nvram commands for I know my other scripts are working. Now the dnsmasq.postconf WORKS! Thank you, man! chmod u+x is to set the permission, right? I did that before. The only thing I did not do is dos2unix. What is this command?

It converts line endings from Windows to Unix format.

It converts line endings from Windows to Unix format.

So it was a format problem. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? The line endings look the same in Notepad++

If you create a new file using WinSCP's internal editor it should be in the correct format. If you create it using Notepad++ you need to make sure the EOL Conversion is set to UNIX/OSX Format.
