documentation about linux-dash HOT 7 CLOSED

What is the exact install process for full usage? I looks awesome, I tried it out, but only uptime and hostname worked. I would love to use it, but what are any security implications?

from linux-dash.

Agreed, an install procedure should be posted here. So, here's what worked for me:

1. My web server (Apache2) uses /var/www as its webpage-store. I created a subdirectory (naming it "status" seemed appropriate) within that. I'll use that example henceforth.

2. Click the "download .zip" button on the project page here.

3. Unzip.

4. cp -r the resulting folder to /var/www/status

Done.

Now, in any browser, go to http://[your URL]/status/index.html

There it is!

Stone simple.

Hi sjinjsca, that is exactly what I have done. Are there any specific settings needed (my apache user is www-data, so I also had to change owner and group recursively).

@robert-aleksic which php version are you using?

from linux-dash.

Hi voidPirate, it's 5.5.3.

from linux-dash.

Check /var/log/apache2/error.log for something relevant. I got several call to undefined function json_encode() errors and resolved it with:

 sudo apt-get install php5-json

You can also check the response in developer console for chrome and log that information here. In the above case this will log 500 server error responses for all the php calls to the php files in the sh folder.
