So I've finally managed to get my HG612 unlocked and working with my router and figured I'd get it setup with a raspberry pi to log to MyDslWebStats. Everything works fine in Windows (DSLstats and pushing data to MyDslWebStats), and the DSLstats app works fine on the Pi, but it doesn't actually push any information to MyDslWebStats.

Could I be missing something at all?

The Pi is running a clean install of Raspbian if thats of any help.

DSLstats does work with Raspbian, including uploading to MDWS. If the latter doesn't work, then assuming you've set it up correctly, the most likely explanation is a permissions issue. By default, the MDWS files are saved in /home/pi/.dslstats/mydslwebstats. You need to make sure that this directory exists and that it is writeable by the normal user (pi).

Make sure you have ticked upload data to MyDSLWebStats in the MyDSLWebstats configuration tab on DSLstats on the RPI and the username and validation key is correct (green)

Cheers for your help guys, not really sure what was up, but chmodding the directory roseway mentioned to 777 seems to have fixed it

That's good JF and can see your stats on MDWS building up

Thanks for confirming that. DSLstats creates that directory, so I need to have another look at the code that does this, as it seems there may be something not working quite right. It's too late for the next release, which I'm just about to make, but I'll check it out afterwards.

Is there an idiots guide to installing DSLStats on a Raspberry Pi from scratch available please?

[jamesfoley]

For me it was just a case of extracting the contents of the download from the DSLStats site and running the executable. I'm running my Pi headless with tightvncserver which seems to work fine, though for some reason it has stopped uploading this morning. I was faffing with my router this morning so the chances are I've just not plugged the Pi back in.

It would be cool if you could run DSLStats as a service without a gui though, so something you could install over ssh.

That's been asked before but it's not going to happen as far as I know.

What would be nice would be a zip file that I could just unzip onto an SD card and put in the RPi which would come with an operating system, tightvnc and maybe a few instructions, and just work.

[jamesfoley]

That wouldn't actually be too hard to do to be honest. I can always take an image of my SD card and upload it if you'd like?

At the moment its a base Raspbian image with DSLStats on the desktop and tightvnc installed. Would just be a case of writing the image to your SD card, shoving it in the Pi and connecting to the VNC server. Though I could probably write a step by step guide to get everything working using a normal Raspbian image and a few ssh commands, as I know randomly uploading an image is a bit sketchy.

[Dray]

That sounds exactly what I want

[roseway]

This is a great offer, JF. I'll be happy to host anything you produce on my website (fully credited of course) if that's useful.

[jamesfoley]

Sounds like a plan, I'll put something together tonight when I'm home from work 

[sovking]

It could be nice if dslstats could run just with webserver or for uploading data, without the need to keep X window up, like a daemon.
Just provide the right configuration file, the help file to edit it and run!

[GigabitEthernet]

That would also be something I would be interested in, jamesfoley. Thank you for the kind offer
