First off, thank you for operating this forum.
I am a complete noob when it comes to CLI, linux and the like.
I was able to flash the image, logon on, ssh, etc.
I have tried unsuccessfully to view the files in Konqueror ( I am running Ubuntu 13), which I think would make my job editing the files much easier. I can ssh using konsole, but trying to figure my way around is driving me crazy.
Ideally I am trying to setup danguardian and tinyproxy to help block websites from my daughter's inquisitive eyes.
I installed luci this morning (not sure why), and this is what I get:
root@Gargoyle:~# /etc/init.d/uhttpd start
bind(): Address already in use
Error: No sockets bound, unable to continue
So I tried:
root@Gargoyle:~# /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
bind(): Address already in use
Error: No sockets bound, unable to continue

I probably should not have install anything else without first fixing the initial problem of getting dansguardian and tiny proxy figured out first.
I did extroot a usb drive to the router so I could have the extra space, and I do see the extra space.

Ideas?

*edit* rebooted the router and now https works (that was the whole purpose of luci, correct?).
Still have no idea about dansguardian and tinyproxy.

*edit* Alright, luci is a totally different interface, and I like it. Good grief. Anyways, I am seeing the following on the top line in the browser: This page contains the following errors:
error on line 204 at column 57: expected '>'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

This is the System/Software page. It shows no installed packages, and no available packages.

I am actually starting to wonder if I should just re-flash the image and start out new.

**edit, again**
Re-flashed without uninstalling everything, and now I have a mess. Had to go buy another router. Just texted the wife, ugh...

So, I was unable to access the router. SYS light blinks, no wifi, and no ssh ability into the internals. Is it bricked?

Time to try out failsafe mode: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … lsafe.mode

Alright I was able to boot into the router using the failsafe method, telnet 192.168.1.1.
I followed the instructions, and rebooted the router.
Now what?

*edit*
Alright. connected to lan1, ssh'd into the router. and it is now showing root@gargoyle:/# which I think is where I need to be.
Attempted opkg, and it went through the motions. WOOOOHOOOO! Thank you!!!
Not sure if I want to attempt luci again, although it was a sweet interface, but if I do, how do I prevent running into the same issue again?

So, my three issues are luci, dansguardian, and a proxy.

Is there a specific reason for not using a stable release (like Attitude Adjustment 12.09), which would already come with Luci installed?

I had initially installed Gargoyle, which has its own interface.
So in order to go straight openwrt, do i have to re-install the tp-link software, or can I go straight to openwrt?

you can use firmware update from gargoyle GUI, just use a openwrt-factory image and do NOT preserve settings.

Alright, did a sysupdate, did not preserve settings.
I am now in luci.

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … ckages.gz.
wget: bad address 'downloads.openwrt.org'
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … ckages.gz, wget returned 1.

*edit* bah, now I am connected. opkg updated.
