raspberry pi

[James Sentman]

OSX REALLY doesn’t like you to mess with the apache configuration anymore. In the last couple of updates it’s now required to manually edit the apache config again and turn on several plugin modules in apache and add a bunch of virtual directory configuration and several other things. It’s a horrid mess to keep running and you can lose it the next time that server updates or if you edit any other settings in the server admin tool and have to do it all over again.

Sadly my audry that I had out died about the same time that it became borderline impossible to keep that working anyway.

I don’t want to put off your developing new interfaces to run on the PI through the web remote :) but you can use the WebRemote interface to talk to X2Web as the server now too. You just need to turn it on in the WebRemote configuration, set the document root path and restart webRemote to see the changes. It still requires that X2Web be running to do the processing but it lets the web server built into WebRemote do the work that Apache used to do. It works for almost everything, except some errors when saving configuration changes because the link is required to be slightly different. I believe the changes are saved, but you need to manually go back to the main page is all. It’s also much easier to setup an HTTPS server through web remote than through apache, but you shouldn’t do that for talking to an audry on the local network as it would greatly slow the poor thing down.

Thanks,
