OK I have had some success with getting it to autostart. I went over all the installation process to see where I may have gone wrong and I found a missed step in the installation of Optware. I was missing the command /opt/etc/rc.optware in /etc/rc.local The basic Optware functionality was fine or I wouldn’t have been able to install Firefly but obviously that final step was needed to allow programs to autostart.
At this stage everything is running. I rebooted the server and Firefly started as it should. I’m hoping that this will also sort out what is causing the web admin to prompt for username and password after x amount of time. If if does fail again I will enable the logfile and see what it might reveal.
My apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase!!!
Edit:
It didn’t take long for Web Admin to fail. It was about 15 minutes I think. I just had the browser on the Server Status page and it was updating normally until suddenly it prompted for the username/password again. Entering it had no effect.
I stopped the daemon, edited the config file to enable the logfile and started it again. It’s running now and I have it sitting on the Server Status page again. Hopefully it will fail and I’ll e-mail you the log.
Edit again:
Alright call me dumb but where do I put the -d9 switch to change the log level? I’ve looked everywhere and tried a few different things but no go. It would be a lot easier if it were just another variable in the conf file or if you could set it using Web Admin. I’ve found HEAPS of web pages that talk about changing the log level but that actually tell you how to do it.
Edit again:
I manually edited the S60mt-daapd file to add the -d9 switch. I doubt that is how it is supposed to be done but it works. The log is being created now. Now I just hope it crashes!!!
