I need a little bit more information.

Mount output from the Asus shell
Do you mean you are stuck at installing owncloud or still at the debian environment installation?

i got it working with my stupid head i was using the router's cmd line...
then i woke up and used ssh xD

but i also want to access it trough http:// but when i change the server port to 80 in lighttpd.conf it cant start says port is already in use..

could you help me with that?

 

[Ford Prefect]

...port 80 is used by the native Web-UI of the ASUS.
Since the owncloud instance is running a separate http.server, but sharing the same net, you cannot bind it to the same port.

You could, however use/setup a second IP on the LAN and bind owncloud only to that.

 

[Xerxist]

Or just change the Asus http port in the Administration page of the router.

Also I've added a note to the Tutorial.
OwnCloud 6 generated thumbnails by default which is a bit of heavy load for the router.
Probably better to disable it and speed up things.

 

[blastboy]

i changed the http port in administration saved it, and rebooted the router. but when i go to the asus ddns the http:// part stil goes too the router and the https:// owncloud ?

Not sure if you changed the wrong port. You can define the port for both inside and outside.

this is from the administration page where it looks to me i should change it

 

[Xerxist]

I would change both and use https.
Inside the lan it's not much of an issue but definitely on the wan side you want to use https. Change it to something like port 9000 on both.

I can't install it because I have a problem. To make things easier I named my usbstick also sda1 and formatted it into ext4 (like in this tut).

Unpacking and making the script with vi works fine but on the step

"/mnt/sda1/debian/utils/chroot /mnt/sda1/debian /bin/bash"

i get the error log

"-sh /mnt/sda1/debian/utils/chroot : permission denied"

How can I solve this?

I didn't label the disk I just formatted it ext4 then the system takes the device name. Not sure what it does when you label it.

Can you post your mount output from the shell?

I think the problem is the script:

I have inserted into the script following lines:

#!/bin/sh
mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda1/debian/dev/
mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/sda1/debian/proc/
mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sda1/debian/sys/

After Reboot the script seems not to start. Could it be?

...based on your mount output, these mounts have not taken place-
Did yoiu follow the steps from the first post?

Debian Weezy for AC68/AC56 (ARM)

[...]

Create the startup script so the mounts are set at every boot

cd /jffs/scripts
vi services-start

Add the following lines

#!/bin/sh
mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda1/debian/dev/
mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/sda1/debian/proc/
mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sda1/debian/sys/

Save the file

Make the script executable

chmod +x services-start

...the script is in the right place?
...the script is made excecutable?
...you did produce this with using vi on the ASUS or on windoze (notepad, ough and transfered it?
make sure it is *nix style end-of-line/end-of-file encoding characters if produced on windows.

...you can run/try the script manually...no need to reboot

yes the script is placed at jffs

i made the script executable with the order chmod +x

i used putty to log in as shell and opened vi in the shell(in the asus then)

I am in class I will try to run it manually later.

 

[Xerxist]

Could be the disk isn't spinned up yet and you need to add a sleep command just underneath #!/bin/sh

sleep 10

Thanks Xerxist,

with the sleep command it now uses the script. But when I try to use

/mnt/sda1/debian/utils/chroot /mnt/sda1/de
bian /bin/bash

it still says permission denied

pls post the output of these three commands:

ls -la /mnt/sda1/debian/
