You could elaborate it a lot more and explain linux commands like 'ls' and 'cd', don't forget some people will not have any experience in DOS let alone Linux.

Also the vi program or utility or whatever, you could explain the simple command usage, it'd take 2 minutes to add those to your post.

Bash: (ls, cd, .... etc) http://www.ss64.com/bash/

Everything is back up and running, I think this line of code:

echo "exec_sh twonky" >> /etc/init.d/rcS

should read:

echo "exec_sh twonky" >> /etc/init.d/twonky start

No, It's as it should be, What you have there is: The script is telling your system to "Append" the command "exec_sh twonky" the "rcS" file. This should make it start at boot time.

Ah right ... that could explain why my Buffalo is stuck in the "System Now Booting" loop?

*** It has to be said that if anyone is looking to buy a 1TB Terastation Live NAS box - my personal point of view is avoid it at all cost. It is sold as a powerful media box - it really isn't. Anyone also tempted to go through this nightmare to upgrade the software to something half decent, you better be prepared to lose a lot of money. Buffalo needs shooting for releasing this hunk of crap on the market ***

Downloaded v5 at http://www.twonkyforum.com/unsupported/5.0.44 -- whilst it started fine
a) The config menus didn't render correctly
b) Once the server got to ~10000 files it crashed, and repeated... over and over.

So 4.4.6 remains the best so far.

Does anyone know how I can recover my Terastation Live from the "System Now Booting" loop?

anyone managed to get 4.4.11 restarting ok?

i can get it running on a fresh reboot of the nas
but if i reboot just twonky it goes into a defunct loop

anyway i noticed this

~# vi /usr/bin/perl -- /www/cgi-bin/error.cgi

Hi - I've seen it constantly restart too -- had to use 4.4.6. Can you clarify what you meant in relation to error.cgi?

if you watch the process list that pops up when twonky is going in a loop

Hi

Having even a buffalo LS pro, I need your help and your advice to get out of a concern I have with the Buffalo LS and pro twonky associated with ps3.

I installed twonky on LS pro, just after the LS pro run perfectly, my ps3 detects linksation, and therefore also my files , but after a reboot or two of the LS pro, the setting of twonky are reseted and I have to do the settings again (registration key, language, foders, ....) with the web configuration of twonky
Each time I restart LS pro, I should reinstall ..
What should I do, please?
Thank you in advance for your invaluable help!
I count on you, thank you

Hello everybody,

great howto at the beginning (even for me as a starter

). However the dl-links to the old twonky-versions don't work anymore. I found some unsupported versions @ http://www.twonkyforum.com (4.4.11 and 5.0.4.6) which seem to be no blessing - at least a lot of users jump back to 4.4.6.

I'm working with a Linkstation Live (V2). Does somebody could still provide ver 4.4.6 or any suggestions about the best existing twonky-version for this station?

Thx for your help and regard,
giftzwerg

Hey folks,

If you can stand another noob, I've run into a bit of a snag right out of the gate.

Basically, I got right up to the NASSetup (4.4.6), and the NASSetup says...

Connecting to 192.168.1.3:9000...
failed: No route to host.

Bottom line, this message shows up a few times, then the NASSetup tells me how to connect to the twonky .. 192.168 .1.150:9000/configpage/index.html

Of course, I can't connect.

I'm installing off of a vista with a local lan connection, firewall is off, A/V is off, and I'm still attached to the wifi too.

I tried running the NASSetup from an XP box too, same result. ...No route to host.

wassup????

Where did I screw up?

Thanks guys, looking forward to getting this thing working.

Jeez, answering my own post. Even though I turned off Vista firewall, it was blocking the NASSetup.

Now I need to learn how to get control over Vista's program blocking/unblocking.

Thanks anways, I should have worked on it a bit more...
