Wireless WebGui
https://github.com/rjpcomputing/raspap-webgui
Requirements A raspberry pi with raspbian running on it. You will need to ssh into it to set this up.
The Packages required for the WebGUI are:
lighttpd php5-cgi isc-dhcp-server git
Steps Install required packages
sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi git isc-dhcp-server
Enable php in lighttpd
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php sudo service lighttpd restart
Edit /etc/sudoers to allow the www-data user to call the necessary commands. Add the following line to the end of the file.
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown wlan0,/sbin/ifup wlan0,/bin/cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/bin/cp /tmp/wifidata /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/sbin/wpa_cli scan_results,/sbin/wpa_cli scan,/bin/cp /tmp/hostapddata /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf,/etc/init.d/hostapd start,/etc/init.d/hostapd stop,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop,/bin/cp /tmp/dhcpddata /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Once those modifications are done, git clone the files to /var/www. Make sure that there are no files in the /var/www directory. There was a default lighttpd index file that I had to delete.
sudo git clone https://github.com/rjpcomputing/raspap-webgui.git /var/www
Set the files ownership to www-data user.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
Configure a static IP for the Pi
Edit /etc/network/interfaces
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Find and remove dhcp entry iface eth0 inet dhcp Append new network settings
auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Find and change iface wlan0 inet manual to iface wlan0 inet dhcp. This is under the wlan0 setup. Comment out iface default inet dhcp and allow-hotplug wlan0 using the '#' character at the beginning of the line(s). Example of /etc/network/interfaces after all changes are made:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
- iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
auto wlan0 #allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf #iface default inet dhcp
Configure dhcpd by editing /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
Add the following to the end of the file
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.99;
option routers 10.0.0.254;
option domain-name "local";
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
}
Open /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server and change the INTERFACES="" to INTERFACES="eth0"
sudo nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
Install and configure the auto-reconnect WiFi script (wifi-check). Copy 'wifi-check' to /usr/local/bin/wifi-check
sudo cp /var/www/wifi-check /usr/local/bin/wifi-check sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wifi-check
Add it to cron so it runs every 5 minutes
sudo crontab -e
Append the line */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/wifi-check > /tmp/wificheck.log 2>&1 to the end of the file Save the file Reboot and it should be up and running!
sudo reboot
