Need DSLstats on RPi headless with Webserver

[#1]

Next project now I've built and got my new pfsense box running as expected is a headless raspberry pi 2 serving  dslstats via it's or an-other webserver that would be plugged into the second port only on my HG612 which I can connect to via wifi etc. I've no intrest in serving the stats elsewhere.

I tried this a few years ago running dslstats on an Rpi but that was using a full version of the distro then connecting with Screenneedless to say it was less than ideal and very laggy, trying for an hour or so today I can't seem to get the webserver to show any stats running from a VM's own browser. 192.168.1.88:55555 gives a white page while trying to append anything to the end ie *.html or *.txt      gives a page errorIs this a permissions thing ?

How do I get rid a the damn pink line thing!

[#2]

If you're trying to access the server the you need to use http://192.168.1.88:55555/snrm.html

[#3]

Tried all that, still no good. I can see the server running in the background but still no luck.

Not sure if it has anything to do with permissions on Mint anyway.

@30FTTC06, is it running Apache? If it is make sure it's listening to the correct address and port:

Listen 192.168.1.88:55555

and your <Directory ...> entries allow for connections from your LAN(s).

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.1/24

Edit:- These are of course in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file

[#6]

I thought it was all in the package, do I need to configure an apache server then seeing as I don't even know how to configure apache ?

[#7]

install apache and stuff those configurations in the .conf ?

[#8]

Well I don't know if Mint (or even Raspbian) has a default HTTP server maybe one of the other guys do. But assuming it doesn't then you need to install it and configure as needed.

I use Arch Linux on Pi as anything with a GUI is wasted when there's SSH.

[#10]

I don't yet even know if DSLstats runs headless, last time it just complained about no gfx

[#11]

Apparently dslstats has it's own integrated web server.  So no, you don't need to install apache - Which can be very easy but is often very complex.

Try running

netstat -nlp | grep 55555

If the above indicates dslstats is listening on an interface you should then be able to connect to and download the home page.

telnet localhost 55555
GET / HTTP/1.1
host:localhost
connection:close
<cr>
<cr>

If that is the case, check your firewall configuration.

[#12]

OK, looks like it's serving from apache so you'll need to tweak your config file as required. Also do not assume that the HTTPD daemon is running, the easiest way I use is :

top | grep httpd

If it's running you'll see something like this:

442 root      20   0  136.3m   8.3m   0.0  0.1   0:02.28 S  `- httpd                                                                                                                 
  894 http      20   0  426.3m   8.1m   0.0  0.1   0:12.60 S      `- httpd                                                                                                             
  895 http      20   0  426.3m   8.1m   0.0  0.1   0:12.51 S      `- httpd                                                                                                             
  896 http      20   0  426.3m   8.1m   0.0  0.1   0:11.76 S      `- httpd

Otherwise there will be nothing. Just press q to quit regardless of the output.

I can see some form of server running...

netstat -nlp | grep 55555
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:55555 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4597/dslstats

telnet localhost 55555
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'

[#14]

no firewall on this machine

[#15]

So once telnet has connected...Did you try typing the rest of what I posted earlier?

GET / HTTP/1.1
host:localhost
connection:close
<cr>
<cr>

I may not have made it clear, that is what you need to do.  <cr> is a carriage return on an otherwise blank line.  You need two of those consecutively before the webserver will process the request.
