Topic: luci install: error: no sockets bound, unable to continu

Hi, i installed the latest
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wrt160nl-squashfs + sysupgrade,and want to include luci.

opkg update
and
opkg install luci
worked without problems,

/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start
both give the error that no sockets are bound and that its unable to continu.

I have almost 0 experience with linux, so i hope someone could point me in the right direction.

i did
uhttpd -p 80 -h /www
and it gave me the following message:

Sockets (): Address family not supported by protocol
Notice: unable to load lua plugin - disabling lua support! (Reason: File not found)

then the webinterface became accessable,  however,
/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start
both still give the same error of no sockets found

..and then i was able to enable uhttpd in the system -startup screen of the webinterface. \o/

i installed lua from the package menu,
but 2 problems still occur which i guess are the result from the disabled lua support.
1. realtime graphs dont show
2. i am unable to click the "plus" that would allow me to add more then one dns server in the menu for a static wan ip.

if this is the case, can someone pls explain to me how i can enable lua support?

Clear your browser cache.

Yes, pure win man, you got tigerblod! Thanks!

Shame on me that I've read whole topic briefly and lost like an hour before I've read this one carefully :d

OT:
I'm getting to work newest trunk for my brand new tp-link 1043 v2.1 and by the way that is my first touch on openwrt, seems like billion times easier than installing olegs firmware on my obsolete asus wl-500gp v2 few years back smile

Thanks again!
