Tivoweb problems

[cwaring]

Okay. Well. It had to happen eventually. I'm now having a major problem with Tivoweb :mad:

It all started when I tried to upgrade to the new version of mikerr's SortNowPlaying but lets just assume that was just a co-inky-dink ;):p:D

Anyway... basics.

From a telnet command-line, how do I:
1/ check that Tivoweb (or any other process I assume?) is running?
and
2/ stop Tivoweb? ("Kill" something-or-other?)

(Doesn't help that I've now lost local access to the Bridge for some reason :()

That'll do for starters :)

ETA: The reason I want to know is that I'm fed up with having to re-boot to re-start TW and I don't know if typing "tivoweb" at the command-prompt more than once will confuse anything :)

ps -l

will show you the processes running, if you've installed ps

Killing TW will almost certainly reboot your TiVo.

Why not just delete the module which broke it?

(Estimated Time of Arrival?????)

[threadkiller]

strangely enough ps -l doesn't show any of the process's on any of my Tivo's. its one of the reasons I cant find why irblast is running

[mikerr]

echo ps | tivosh

but the real answer is to run it with the console option:

% /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb console

then it tells you if its already running or not

Well, I have now lost all access to my Tivo via Telnet, FTP and TivoWeb.

The last time it worked (the day I started this thread) I had just re-installed TW (using the TWINST package) and deleted the reference to the odd port number; ie so it should use the standard Port 80.

I have just now pulled the drive and re-installed the Turbonet drivers but that didn't help.

What do I do now? (Other than get depressed ;))

[mikerr]

Uninstall the firewall on your PC ? :)

[ColinYounger]

Reboot your router? I had to do this today to get a new port setting working.

There isn't one. Got a router ;)

Speaking of which....

Will try anything once :p

Two mins later:
Hmmm. Very strange. That worked :confused: Well, I have telnet access at least! Still no TW though. tried it with the '-console' switch but nothing else was displayed :(

At least I'm getting somewhere; even though I don't know exactly where that is :p

[cwaring]

ps -l

will show you the processes running, if you've installed ps

TiVo: {/var/tmp} % ps l
FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND
100 0 156 131 10 0 16060 2632 0 S p0 0:00 /bin/bash
0 0 162 156 20 0 0 0 0 RW p0 0:00 ps l
TiVo: {/var/tmp} %
TiVo: {/var/tmp} %

This is after running

tivoweb -console
So I guess something's still wrong :(

tivoweb.cfg=

What EXACTLY to you see when you run tivoweb -console

[cwaring]

I know what I'm supposed to see as I've done it before when it's worked. However, what I'm getting at the moment is simply what looks like two carriage returns.

I assume these are generated (for want of a better word) by the command-prompt or kernel as I don't enter them.

ETA:
I've decided to blitz the TW directory and do a complete re-install. I think I fudged it last time :)

[cwaring]

Well, it didn't work then it did so I don't know what I did, but it fixed it :confused:

Now to re-install some hacks :D

ETA:
:mad: WTF? :mad:

Now it's stopped working again :confused:

I got to the main TW index page, but none of the links worked. Then I couldn't get to the main page anymore :confused:

That's it! I'm off to bed :(

[mikerr]

There should not be any dash in the command line at all for
"tivoweb console" fWIW

[cwaring]

Woohoo! A little slow but it got there! See; I knew there'd be an easy solution :( I feel suitable stupid now :o

ETA:
Of course, it doesn't explain why TW wouldn't load without the 'console' command previously :confused:
