Thread: TIVOWebPlus not starting

  1. #1

    Question TIVOWebPlus not starting

    I cannot get TIVOWebPlus to start.

    It was working previously but after a recent hanging, it no longer starts.

    I can ftp and telnet to OZTivo on 192.168.0.200 (DHCP) but do not have web access

    Here are some of the information requested in other posts related to TIVOWebPlus problems

    Thanks for any help

    I actually noticed the same thing happen to mine, just out of the blue it stopped working, so I changed my author file to just have the startup command. For some reason it doesn't appear to be doing the check properly.

    Change as below for immediate fix, but this will have to be looked at by the guys because it's not the right thing to do. . .

    # Start TiVoWeb or TivoWebPlus
    #if checkyesno tivoweb_enable; then
    # if [ "$tivoweb_version" = "PLUS" ]; then
    # /hack/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb &
    # else
    # /hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb &
    # fi
    #fi

    While your hack may work, it defeats the purpose of /etc/sysinit.conf.

    Also your hack will be overwritten once you use the upgrade script.

    We no longer make any changes to rc.sysinit.author

    check to see the contents of /etc/sysinit.conf or if it doesn't exist look at /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf.

    You should have a couple of lines like:
    tivoweb_enable="YES" # Start TivoWeb or TivoWebPlus:
    tivoweb_version="PLUS" # Set to "" for TivoWeb, or "PLUS"

    If using TivoWebPlus.

    Peter.
    Please search this forum and our Website for your TiVo questions before starting a new thread. Thanks!

    There is no /etc/sysinit.conf and the lines are correct in /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf

    I have looked at both these files using Putty to telnet. When I open them using Joe, they are opened in Read Only mode.

    Correct. The TiVo filesystem is read only. To make it read/write you have to issue the command rw and remember to put it back into read only when finished with the command ro

    Yep, those lines exist, and are correct, without the .author file modified mine never starts at all. However I will just create a .conf file and have the startup line put in, wasn't aware that the upgrade script over writes it.

    Thanks Darren

    The files all look to be intact and correct. The TivoWeb.Log appears to be fine

    Maybe the CrashCount file shows a figure greater than zero which can cause TiVoWEB+ not to start.

    Try entering this command from a telnet session:

    echo 0 > /hack/TivoWebPlus/.dist/CrashCount

    That should reset CrashCount back to zero. Then reboot the TiVo and see what happens.
