Hey guys I need some help. I am getting this error when trying to copy the files to the web host folder. I tried deleting all the files that were in the var/www folder and "re" unzipping but got the same result. Is there anyone that might be able to help me out here?

I attached the screenshot of what was in the var/www file after unzipping as well. What am I missing?

Disclosure: I am only a casual user...So perhaps its something obvious?

Use the GUI to delete everything in /var/www. Delete all of the RaspberryPints files in /home/pi. Then download the file again and try the mv command one more time.
 
Thanks,

that seemed to have worked....which led me to this problem. The instructions told me to:

"Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Raspberry Pi"

which I set previously as 192.168.1.36

When I enter it into the raspberry pi browser, I get the following error:

------------------
Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian) Server at 192.168.1.36 Port 80

url not found.png
 
The instructions for entering the address of your Pi are assuming that you go to some other device on your network and configure from there. For example, using a laptop or tablet connected to your local network, open up a browser and enter the address. You'll automatically be taken to RaspberryPints.

If you want to access RaspberryPints directly from the browser on your Pi, type "localhost" into your address bar and you should be directed to 'Pints.

That screenshot was from my laptop. I also tried typing 'localhost' in my raspberry pi browser and got the same "not found" error.

I tried to do some digging around and found others that had this problem. Sounds like they identified this issue -> Edit the DocumentRoot /var/www/html line to read DocumentRoot /var/www

How would one go about doing that?....if that makes sense.
 
When your post said, "when I enter it into the Raspberry Pi browser" I figured you were trying to do it on the Pi itself.

Yep, with the new version of Apache, it defaults to /var/www/html. The 'Pints install instructions should be updated to reflect that stuff should go to /var/www/html instead of just /var/www. But no one is active from the developer side, so the instructions remain unchanged.

You have two options. Delete the files you imported to /var/www, redo the import and point everything to /var/www/html instead. Or, assuming that your path is this one, run this command and replace /var/www/html with /var/www:

Code: 
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

If your path is different, you'll need to poke around for the default file and point the command there.

I would probably take the first choice and import everything into /var/www/html and make a note somewhere that you changed the path from the instructions. This will make for easier future reinstalls or if you decide to install BrewPi or some other function later on, all will be consistent. But either will work.

Edit: I'm not at my computer at home so I can't verify the location of the apache config file. If my command above doesn't work, try the two alternate locations.
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
/etc/apache/apache2.conf

Thank you very much for the help....I am sure it is annoying trying to navigate people who have no business playing around with this stuff through an online forum. However, this resolved my issue! I am up and running. Thanks again
 
What type of case are you using to protect the rPi 2 B+ with the alamode board on top to protect everything? I'm just getting started ordering all of the parts. Also with the 1/2" Hall Effect flowmeter, do you have to make sure it stays in the same position all the time by mounting it to the coller in order to get an accurate read, or can I just splice it into the line and let it set loose?
 
There is not a stock case available to accommodate the Pi with the Alamode board. People have hacked everything from cigar boxes to project cases. My son built mine when he was six out of Legos.

There isn't much experience here with those meters. The Swiss flow ones don't care how they are oriented. Those meters apparently need to be calibrated in the position they will be utilized in. You might try using electrical or other clamps to secure them to the top or side of your cooler.
 
- If you are running Raspbian Wheezy, you will run the setup script.
- If running Raspbian Jessie, you will run the jessie-setup script.
BUT
- I found I had to install the dos2unix package on the RPi, then run dos2unix on the desired script, and run the result.
- Someone recently went through this and iirc ran each command from the proper script at the command line, instead of running the dos2unix conversion on the script file...

hth!

Cheers!

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get past this point of the setup?
Click to expand...

Looks like you don't have exec permission on those scripts, you need to chmod the scripts to be executable in order to run it.

Code: 
chmod 777 setup
or
Code: 
chmod 777 jessie-setup

alternatively, you can change your command to invoke the script via bash
Code: 
sudo bash ./setup
Code: 
sudo bash ./jessie-setup

First, I want to thank everyone for the help over the years. My SD card got fried...now I know not to just "pull the plug". I got everything reloaded, but two things I can't figure out. Last time (version 1) I had the kiosk mode with Chromium working perfectly. Now, I can't figure it out. I've tried three different things, and this is the last:

@xset s off
@xset s noblank
@xset -dpms

Now, add a line to launch Chromium in kiosk mode. Obviously you'll want to fill in your own URL at the end:

@chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --kiosk --incognito https://news.google.com

I put my RaspberryPints address in there for the google...regardless, booted to desktop. Can someone help me?

Next, I was going to say I had a screen saver on there, but I can just turn the monitor off if I am worried about burn-in.
 
Where the original instructions say to put the display and kiosk commands into /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart, more recent versions of LXDE provide personalized setups, hence you need to use /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart now.

That, of course, assumes the default user is named 'pi'...

Cheers!

I actually had used the LXDE-pi file and not the LXDE file, but it still won't autostart into Chromium kiosk mode. I've recently changed the URL to start to Google...thinking that my Raspberry Pints URL was bad, but it didn't work. Still starts to the Raspian desktop.

Any suggestions?
 
I’m new to all of this, and have no lenix or coding experience. I’ve read through all 250 pages and 2542 strings, and I have a few questions before I start my build. I’ll be using the RPi2B with the Alamode Board.

1) The Pi2B indicated it uses 2A power. I have the Cana Kit Raspberry Pi Micro USB Power Supply that’s output is 5.1V DC/ 1A regulated Input: 100 - 240 VAC. It says it’s compatible with the Pi 2, but the Pi 2B Quad Core 1GB Ram Single Board Computer with Heatsinks indicates it needs a 2A power supply. Will the power supply I have work.

2) What pins do I attach the Alamode Board to the Pi 2B since the Pi2b has 40 pins. A picture would be nice showing which pins on the PiB2.

3) In reading through the strings, it talks about several versions of the Raspberry Pints. I like the additions CaptnDelta added, but I want to make sure I understand how to do the install with those updates. Is the RaspberryPints (2.0.1) at raspberrypints.com the most current?

First I download and start installing the RaspberryPints (2.0.1) and work through all the steps until Step 7. String #1387 on page 139 indicates for step 7:

“instead of downloading from the RPints repository, you use this link: https://github.com/HentschelT/Raspbe.../tree/Version2 and click on "Download Zip". Proceed as usual; just substitute the file name of the downloaded .zip file accordingly in the remaining procedure. Just before you go to Step 8, lets install the pyWebSocket library. This link has the details: https://github.com/google/pywebsocket/wiki”

Then it goes through the rest of the commands.

4) There is quite a bit of talk about running $ sudo raspi-config to expand the partition after installing the OS. Is that supposed to happen in Step 2 or Step 9. How do I launch a terminal session to run the command? As I said I have ZERO programming experience so I’m trying to follow through all of the strings to figure this out. Lots of reading. Thanks in advance, and hopefully I can run through all this and get my RPints up and running.
 
Welcome to HBT, GMAN-62 :mug:

Wrt your questions:

1 - If all you are going to do is run RaspberryPints without the AlaMode shield for flow meters you can use a 5V 1A wall wart.

If you're going to use an AlaMode and power it from the host RPi2B I would indeed go with a 5V 2A wall wart.
Alternatively you can use a second 5V 1A wart for the AlaMode (there's a jumper for that).

2. Register the AlaMode 26 pin receptacle to the RPi2B 40 pin version so pins 1 & 2 mate. That's the end opposite the RPi2B USB & enet receptacles.
It works - I have three R'Pints setups using AlaModes atop RPi2B hosts.

3. I've never used the CaptnDelta modded version.

4. You can run raspi-config and expand the file system anytime before you've actually run out of SD card space and fatally crashed ;)

Cheers!

You basically substitute the regular 2.0.1 version with the file you download from my repository. Don't forget to install the pyWebSocket library at the indicated step. One thing you don't need to do is to install the xdotools stuff (it's no longer used in my version), and you can use any decent browser - remote or local (Chromium is not a requirement). Once installed, you can use Safari on an iPad, or Firefox on Windows etc., just need to use the IP of your Pi as the url.

One thing to remember: If you install Raspbian Jessie, there are a few minor changes (since the original version was created for the older Raspbian Wheezy) - i.e. change the apache web root etc. There is info in this thread how to do that.

Cheers,

CaptDelta I'm planning on having a dedicated monitor and probably won't use remote access. Does chromium load automatically with your 2.1.1 version.
 
Thanks for answering my questions guys. I'll be starting the build soon and will ask for help if needed. Thanks again.
 
There is a Pi2B with heatsinks and a Pi2B desktop. Does it matter which one I get. I returned my Pi B+ so I could get the Pi2B

Day_Tripper, can I plug the 2A into the Alamode and switch the jumper so the Alamode powers the pi2?
Click to expand...

Yes, that's what the jumper is for :)

Click to expand...

I'd be inclined to say it doesn't matter - none of my 2Bs have heat sinks and they've run for a couple of years, some in simple open cases with no fan cooling in non-air conditioned spaces...

Cheers!
 
can someone explain to me what the product ID is of the motion sensor? I am not seeing this product anywhere. I am only seeing a camera.

As I have received a ton of help from all of you I wanted to add to this. If you follow the P3 Google Jessie instructions and then use the captain delta version the step regarding the web root for apache is found on line 3 within the /var/www/HTML/python file. Add /HTML at the end.
 
Well, I have Pints configured, it wasn't easy but I'm slow. Only thing is I can't get my screen to rotate. I'm using an Acer R240HY bidx 23.8-Inch IPS HDMI DVI VGA (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Monitor. I have searched, tried display_rotate 1 etc.. no joy
Thanks,
Mark
 
Were you able to open up and edit the config.txt file?

sudo nano /boot/config.txt in your command prompt will get you there.
