Very helpful. Here’s a more compact way of doing the line replacement:

for i in $(seq 1 $CISCO_SPLIT_INC) ; do

instead of

for ((i = 0 ; i

Great job, I bought the SVEASOFT for the hotspot, which failed miserably. This is works perfetlly. I like how you chose to block doubleclick in dnsmasq instead of via iptables.
Thatnks for taking the time to write up this article. Now, to see if I can fit snort onto this WRT54GL!

Yea, looks like I forgot to comment on that. I commented out, in S50dnsmasq, the line... args="-l /tmp/dhcp.leases -K -F $(int2ip $start),$(int2ip $end),$(int2ip $netmask),12h ${wanif:+-I ${wanif} }" ...which essentially removes the overriding configuration options that you then define in dnsmasq.conf. You do need to have S50dnsmasq in there in order to start the dnsmasq service.

Gary,

Thank you for this detailed walkthrough! It was exactly what I was looking for. However, after i followed through step by step, I ran into a small problem.

After I rebooted the router, my DNS request stoped working.

ie. I get an IP but cannot goto www.google.com, but can go by http://72.40.xx.xx

I suspect it has to do with:

/etc/dnsmasq.conf vs. /etc/init.d/S50dnsmasq

I stopped using S50dnsmasq and used /etc/dnsmasq.conf only.

Comments in the S50dnsmasq said if I am using /etc/dnsmasq.conf I can get rid of S50dnsmasq.

Thats what I did…

Anycomments appreciated.

Thank you.

[…] Gary Court has an excellent tutorial on how to get AWStats up and running on Debian. With the help of his article it didn’t take many minutes for me to set it up. Quite fun to be able to see how many visitors this web site has. […]

Comment on PHP OSGi Framework Concept by: Gary Court

Peter: Holy crap, that’s almost genius!

Actually, I took a look into linking PHP into Java. I didn’t really find much in the way of a Java written PHP engines, but integrating the native PHP engine using, say, the PHP / Java Bridge could make this work fairly easily. You could easily write a wrapper in Java for the engine, and a PHP class that abstracts the communication back to Java, and get access to all the functionality of the OSGi framework.

The biggest problem I see with this, however, is that most PHP programmers would scoff at the idea of letting Java run their PHP environments. Apache and PHP is like sacred for most, and wouldn’t see or want to bother with getting something like this working.

Very interesting idea, something I may even pursue one day.
