Tried something new:
Via the MSS web interface, I enabled the media server.
Then I went to http://192.168.1.102:3689/
I got a popup (this is new!) as follows:
The server 192.168.1.102 at webserver requires a username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
I tried
admin / mt-daapd
admin / admin
“blank” / admin
“blank” / mt-daapd
But no matter what, I got:
Unauthorized
Error 401
mt-daapd: 0.2.1.1
The fact that “mt-daapd: 0.2.1.1” came back at all made me feel like maybe something is running on the server, but what now?
And, am I supposed to enable the media server via the Maxtor web interface, or disable? Here is what I see in the address bar:
http://192.168.1.102/share/share_upnp_4.asp?
When I turn it off, and go to http://192.168.1.102:3689/,
I get this again:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
I also tried setting admin/admin as the username and password on the MSS, but that didn’t seem to help either, so I am running the MSS without an administrator account password, and ignoring the “If you do not enter a password, anyone can login as an administrator.” message.
So, the questions I’m hoping you can answer:
1. Should the media server be enabled or disabled in the maxtor web interface?
2. Based on the error message that included “mt-daapd: 0.2.1.1,” can we conclude that firefly is properly installed on the MSS, or does the “# /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd
pidof: not found
/opt/sbin/mt-daapd: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/sbin/mt-daapd: symbol iconv, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference” message received through putty/telnet indicate that something still needs to be fixed?
3. If the configuration I describe above, with media server enabled, is correct, how do I get past the request for username and password in order to get the firefly web interface working at 192.168.1.102:3689/?
4. What next?
Thanks for all of the help. I appreciate your patience.
PS – I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday looking for any books that might help me understand what I am trying to do. I found plenty of Linux books, but none that explained or referenced putty, busybox, or ipkg. I guess I’m not really sure what to look for. Can you give me any recommended reading?
