TeHashX · Jan 19, 2014

New site with updated guide

After many requests, I made this tutorial for pyload entware version, works on the following routers: RT-AC66U/R, RT-N66U/R, RT-N16
We need a usb-flash formatted EXT2 or a usb-hdd formated EXT3, will not work on FAT32 or NTFS.

1) - Setup entware, details here: http://www.hqt.ro/how-to-install-entware/

2) - Login to router with putty terminal and copy/paste the following commands

Code:

opkg install pyload

3) - Change the default configuration-directory

Code:

cd /opt/share/python/pyload

Code:

python pyLoadCore.py --changedir --configdir=/opt/etc/pyload/.pyload

Press ENTER once to confirm the path and once again ENTER to exit the dialog.

4) - Generate ssl keys, you have to input data required... or just press ENTER and fields will remains blanks

Code:

cd /opt/etc/pyload/.pyload

Code:

/usr/sbin/openssl genrsa -out ssl.key
/usr/sbin/openssl req -new -key ssl.key -out ssl.csr
/usr/sbin/openssl req -days 36500 -x509 -key ssl.key -in ssl.csr > ssl.crt

5) - Go to installation-process, just hit ENTER key, change username, password and port or leave it 8000

Code:

cd /opt/share/python/pyload

Code:

python pyLoadCore.py -s

Choose your Language / Wähle deine Sprache ([en], de, fr, it, es, nl, sv, ru, pl, cs, sr, pt_BR): Enter

Welcome to the pyLoad Configuration Assistent.
It will check your system and make a basic setup in order to run pyLoad.

The value in brackets [] always is the default value,
in case you don't want to change it or you are unsure what to choose, just hit enter.
Don't forget: You can always rerun this assistent with --setup or -s parameter, when you start pyLoadCore.
If you have any problems with this assistent hit STRG-C,
to abort and don't let him start with pyLoadCore automatically anymore.

When you are ready for system check, hit enter. Enter

If you use pyLoad on a server or the home partition lives on an iternal flash it may be a good idea to change it.
Change config path? (y/[n]): Enter

Do you want to configure login data and basic settings?
This is recommend for first run.
Make basic setup? ([y]/n): Enter

## Basic Setup ##

The following logindata is valid for CLI, GUI and webinterface.
Username [User]: your_username

pyLoad offers several server backends, now following a short explanation.
builtin: Default server, best choice if you dont know which one to choose.
threaded: This server offers SSL and is a good alternative to builtin.
fastcgi: Can be used by apache, lighttpd, requires you to configure them, which is not too easy job.
lightweight: Very fast alternative written in C, requires libev and linux knowlegde.
Get it from here: https://github.com/jonashaag/bjoern, compile it
and copy bjoern.so to module/lib

Attention: In some rare cases the builtin server is not working, if you notice problems with the webinterface
come back here and change the builtin server to the threaded one here.
Server ([builtin], threaded, fastcgi, lightweight): threaded / Enter
Setup finished successfully.
Hit enter to exit and restart pyLoad Enter

6) - Start the server with

Code:

/opt/etc/init.d/S51pyload start

7) - Go to 192.168.1.1:8000 (this is the default router ip, modify to your router ip if you change it previously) and happy downloading...

8) - After login, if you receive the message: Plugins updated, please restart!, restart pyload with:

Code:

/opt/etc/init.d/S51pyload restart

TO ACCESS PYLOAD FROM WAN

Code:

opkg install nano

nano /jffs/scripts/firewall-start

paste this lines

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 8000 -j ACCEPT

works on my router RT-N66U.
Only difference is this:
JS engine: missing

I can see that You have it, so what to do get in on my router ??

MercuryV · Jan 19, 2014

There is a problem with (Entware) JS engine on some devices.
In short: js package is generally working, but _after_ interpreting js code - segfault.
I know 2 ways to fix it:
1) patch pyload code (to pass JS test, sorry can't write exact code now)
2) use JS engine from chrooted debian (you'll need to replace /opt/bin/js with script with smth. like chroot /opt/debian-chrooted /usr/bin/js $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7)

I only copy / pasted from optware tutorial but can you download files even with js-engine error?

I've just finished the installation process: the error persist, but pYLoad is working

Tomorrow I'm going to do some "stress test"

I just tested two different sites and it worked without a hitch. Even captcha works so I think I will be fine for now.
But, wouldn't it be nice idea to install JS engine through chrooted debian ?? spiedermonkey ?, just a though ...

If you wish

Code:

/opt/home/admin # chroot /opt/CHROOTED/debian-testing /bin/bash
root@ROUTER:/# cat /etc/issue.net
Debian GNU/Linux jessie/sid
root@ROUTER:/# apt-cache show spidermonkey-bin | grep Version
Version: 17.0.10esr-1~deb7u1

Use this tutorial as reference, then enter chroot and install spidermonkey with

Code:

apt-get install spidermonkey-bin

After, you need to symlink js
Don't have free time now to show you step by step, maybe someone else, please?

Any help with pyload reconnect ?

Pyload is working fine here on my Asus RT-N16 running Merlin 374.40.
Now I'd like to add a reconnect script for my router (connected in bridged mode to a D-Link DSL-320B modem).

Any help about it ?

Thanks in advance.

Run setup again and activate reconnect

Code:

python pyLoadCore.py -s

http://pyload.org/reconnect
http://reconnect.thau-ex.de/asus/asus-rt-n56u/

QMax · Apr 19, 2014

Mmmmm.... it doesn't work for me.

Installed curl and edited/copied reconnect script on my RT-N16.

I started the script by shell but it close with some error related to the first 5 lines:

Code:

http://192.168.100.1/goform/ChannelsSelection

This line point to the modem IP/Page, I corrected the IP affress with mine (I'm able to access my D-Link 320B modem from my PC even if it's running in bridge mode), but I'm unable to find /goform/ChannelsSelection.
Also I'm not able to find the correct XXXXXXXX frequency.

I'll try to find another script, cause I don't think it's really necessary to send commands to the modem in my case (bridged) a simple wan disconnect/reconnect will be enough to change IP address.

Thanks

Recconect.sh script... Help needed

It's seems is much more difficult to use a reconnect script that running pYload from scratch...

I'm trying to use this simple script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
killall pppd >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 5s
pppd file /tmp/ppp/options.wan0 >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 5s
ping -c 1 www.heise.de >/dev/null 2>&1

As I wrote before, to change my IP address I simply need to disconnect and reconnect my WAN if, cause my PPPoE connection is completely handled by router (modem is bridged).

If I run manually this script line by line it works fine.
Putting it into a sh file (with +x) I have redirect errors for every line contiaining >/dev/null 2>&1.
Changing every >/dev/null 2>&1 in >/dev/null2>&1 no more errors, and running this script from sh works fine, my IP address is changed everytime I start this script.

Now...
I configured pyLoad to use this script, enabled reconnect, and used the full path for Method.

I've tried to donwload a multiple-file from EasyBytez and this is my log:

Code:

As you can see it seems that the script is started but the IP doesn't change....

Why if I run from shell the script my IP changes and this doesn't happens in pyLoad ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
