[200] Calling an index.htm from putty command line

[JamesTF]

I have searched and have been unable to locate how to start an index.htm file using putty.

I have an index.htm located in root of usb_drive on pch. Is it possible in putty to run that file and have the pch display the html screen?

I have found thru searching a command to start eversion.phf but not for a .htm file.

Any suggestions or help would be great.

Thanks,
James

try

PHP Code:

echo youfilename.html > /tmp/gaya_bc 


or maybe

PHP Code:

echo -n "http://localhost.drives:8883/YOUR_USB_DRIVE_NAME/yourfilename.htm" >> /tmp/gaya_bc

Thanks for the reply, unfortunantly that returns a "Request cannot be processed" screen. What can I try next?

Thanks,

the other option is to use the load_page api you'll need to sign up to get access to the api documents

https://developer.popbox.com/c/devuser/home

but here's some untested code

PHP Code:

wget -O /dev/null "http://127.0.0.1:8008/system?arg0=load_page&arg1=/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/YOUR_USB_DRIVE/yourhtmlfile.html&arg2=switch" 


If you want any more info you'll need to sign up

Thank you so very much....That did the trick!!!

Just an FYI, the old index.htm working on boot still works and you don't need to do this.

just rename index.htm to somethign else. go into the drive/share. Use power+eject to reboot. You'll see it goes back to the old location. rename your file back to index.htm and it'll autoload like before. There seems to be some bug where it's not always saving where you last were.

I tried the power+eject to reboot early on but didn't know to rename the index.htm, I will try that asap and report back. If this works it will sure beat the workaround I have been trying to get working for the last couple of weeks now. I did finally get it working thanks to the great help and support on this forum. Thank you all!

Just tried on both my c200's....it doesn't work for me. Just for the record I am on firmware 03-04-120517-21-POP-408-000 and the share is a NAS (not sure if that makes a difference or not).
Are you on a newer or beta version? If so any speculation on when it will be released?

Thanks,

I gave up and installed csi and added the load_page commad to start_app.sh
