Control Panel Plugin v3.2.1

[dysolve]

i must be doing something wrong. i have installed it but it does not let me download any packages and just keeps jumping back to the top of the page. i did have some serviio errors but since I did not use it I removed it and the errors went away but it just keeps reload ign to the top of the page

I have this plugin installed and used it to install the Cache plugin. But, I keep seeing "check error" for the Cache Plugin, beside it. Any idea what would cause this? I just upgraded to 5.0 from 4.7.

Why some package says Unavailable?

[ikosa]

Check error means control panel cant get either local or remote version number, mostly because that plugin don't have that feature. Or for some reason either version number is empty.

Unavailable means that plugin don't have that feature.

does it refresh once or non stop? Is there any log/error at the top section?

Is it Ok to run this alongside unMENU and have 2 package/plugin managers?

Yes it is OK.  I also use unMenu as seen on my signature.

SABnzdb even though I have downloaded and installed it, it shows as uninstalled in Control Panel Plugin. But it appears in the Settings tab. So I guess that is fine?

 

However the PMS does not even shows up as Downloadable, so I can't install PMS at all. Same with EncFs, iStat Server, Logmein Hamachi, MySQL Server (p1lot), ProFTPD, shellinabox, ?Torrent - all does not have Download Plg enabled.

 

edit: Looks like the Plex site got a major change, hence the links are broken.

Hello;

FYI and possible upgrade of the instructions if you think it is necessary.

 

I downloaded the plugin in config/plugins through the web browser running on a Windows PC which attaches tower/flash/config/plugins. Rebooted the server, and nothing major happened. The expected screens did not show up in the web interface.

 

I connected then to the server with putty and started a session as root, changed directory to /boot/config/plugins, and found a new directory (empty) created there, presumably by the plg script. The directory name is control_panel.

 

In the plugins directory was the plg script downloaded from this website,  and I chose to try now to run it manually.

It didn't work. It failed with the error "I/O warning : failed to load external entity  in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13".

Tried a couple more times, including "installplg --help" hoping that the utility would tell me more about the possible usage alternatives.

Interesting running the same command with --help, gave me the same error (on line 13).

 

Therefore I checked again your instructions and realized that you specified the full path to your control_panel.plg in the command line, but you didn't tell which directory one should be in, when launching the command.

I chose to cd to root directory (home directory for root) and ran it from there. It finally worked! The control panel settings icon showed up in the web interface.

 

I will now study what /how I need to use the new functionality

(If I lost you with the many details... the part you may want to look into is why it didn't work at boot time, after copying the script in the plugins directory).

 

Thank you

Thanks for you kind comment.

it is hard to say what goes wrong without any log. May be some problems with internet or a broken link..etc

if it creates the control_panel directory but cant finish the installation definetly something goes wrong in the installation process. you should check this from syslog.

i specify the full path in the command there for you can run it from any directory.

As a result, i think installation instructions are correct. But something goes wrong when you are trying to install.

From control panel you cant download all plugins. Because of some wget limitations and compressed plg files etc.

i guess/remember that sabnzdb has an inner install function(from the settings page). when you install the package from there it should show as installed.

i try to discuss this situation here but i cant get any replies.

I've installed Transmission from Control Panel and now it's running, I have 2 "check errors" showing,  1 under "update plg' and 1 under "update app", is this something to be concerned about?

This is a really cool plugin!  I will have to try it.  Thanks for all your hard work!

Hey....great tool.  I'm excited to use it.

 

I'm already running Dynamix.  It looks like Dynamix can install some of the same plugins.

 

Is it recommended to use both at the same time?

 

This is my first NAS.  I've been using windows and network shares for 10 years.  I really like the new tools but I feel like such a virgin.

[ikosa]

I didn't try dynamix I m not sure if they work without problems.  But at the Control panel side worst scenario will be some cosmetic problems or some not working commands I don't expect any harmfull issues.

[earthtorob]

Thanks

I am using dynamix gui and ikosa's control panel plugin without any issues so far,  @ ikosa is there any chance that the control panel plugin can cosmetically/functionally match the dynamix plugin page?

[defected07]

I'm having the refresh problem.

 

Using Dynamix 2.11, unRAID 5.0.5, and Chrome v32, as well as Safari.

 

I click on Control Panel under Settings, and every few seconds it just does a page refresh. Tried to use the JavaScript Console, but couldn't really figure out what was causing it. Doesn't look like you have any javascript in Control Panel? May be from the dynamix.js under /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/scripts

This is discussed several times. Search "script" on syslog. Unfortunately some plugins cause this. Nothing directly related with control panel. May be i have to control this before displaying it but dont have much time these days...

Thanks. I did find the issue -- same as this one:

 

it is probably about some line in syslog.

try b and c from this post.

i guess these are the guilty lines. dejavu script tag again:

Line 1148: Oct 26 13:33:30 mediaserver logger:   /bin/bash /tmp/istatd-install ... Saving Settings...Completed<br> Starting iStat Server...Applying Settings...Completed<br>Starting iStat Server...Completed<br><html><head><script>var goback=parent.location;</script></head><body onLoad="parent.location=goback;"></body></html>success

Just removed the <body onload..> from istatd_update.php and it works ok now. May need to remove that from the .plg though in case it doesn't re-use the modified one on reboot.

Ikosa,

would you mind including the new powerdown package?

Hello,

 

Very eager to give this plugin a  try but keep getting an install error.

Sounds like you downloaded the plugin wrong. Download it from the link from the first post in this topic.
