Hi,

i installed Kamikaze 7.07 on my Linksys WRT54GL a few minutes ago. Now i want to install webif^2 and i don't know how. Can someone help me? I used this image (I don't know if this matters): http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7 … uashfs.bin

Regards,
Felix

Login to your router (telnet or ssh) and install the webif2 package with ipkg:

ipkg install ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/xwrt/kamikaze/broadcom-2.4/webif_latest.ipk

berlios.de link didn't work any longer.
With "http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaz … latest.ipk", I get the follow error.

Downloading http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaz … latest.ipk
Installing webif (0.3-9) to root...
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: -1.
Collected errors:
Multiple packages (webif and webif) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER.  Using latest.
ERROR: Package webif (parent webif) is not available from any configured src.
Failed to download webif. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

ipkg update didn't help for this problem.
Any idea?

Yes, I know and look in my post, I use the new URL, but get the error, I quote.

And I have update the list...

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/p … l/Packages

You have probably partially installed wrong webif2.

ipkg remove webif
rm -f /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/*
ipkg update

And continue using the documented ways to install webif2: Kamikaze_Installation - Updating_OpenWrt_Kamikaze.

The BerliOS's FTP directory holds only files designed for White Russian! Although for example haserl for White Russian would probably work with Kamikaze 2.4, many other packages and mainly webif2 will not work.

There is no information on OpenWrt web site that the web gui for Kamikaze continues in the X-Wrt project.
mbm: Would not it be possible to insert at least a [size=6]small[/size] link to X-Wrt/webif2 in the main page?
