Model: CPE210  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

I'm preparing for installing CPE210 and trying to start pharoscontrol and access it's webpage on Linux.

 

I have not connected the CPE210:s to the network yet, but I guessed I would be able to access the pharoscontrol webpage anyway as long as I run the server on my computer or am I wrong? Do I need to have connected some CPE210 to the network to be able to access the pharoscontrol webpage?

 

Anyway I've installed JRE and started pharoscontrol, but when I access http://127.0.0.1:9321/ on the computer where I run pharoscontrol I just get a "Problem loading page".

 

$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.14" 2025-01-21
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.14+7-Debian-1deb12u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.14+7-Debian-1deb12u1, mixed mode, sharing)

 

$ sudo /etc/init.d/pharoscontrol status
Pharos Control is running with port 9321.

 

I did:

 

$ sudo systemctl disable apache2.service

 

fearing it was running and it might have caused some trouble. I did a reboot after this to be sure. The webserver is now not running.

 

How can I go on to troubleshoot this, and is there a troubleshooting guide?

 

Thankful for any help or leads on this!

Hi  @994 

 

 I would be able to access the pharoscontrol webpage anyway as long as I run the server on my computer or am I wrong? 

>>>You are correct.

 

What's the JRE version of the PC?

Pharos Control only supports JRE1.7 and JRE1.8.

 

BTW, how many CPE units do you have in total? If not that many, you may manage them under their standalone web interface. As you can see, there has been no update for the Pharos controller for over 6 years now.

Thanks for writing!

 

Ah, ok, I read too fast and thought it was 1,8 or over.

 

I just have two units, so I don't think it will be a problem to do without pharoscontrol if that's possible. 
 

Do you think this video shows a good method to setup without pharoscontrol?

There's a couple of different manual documents, but using the onboard web interface I guess this document has all I need to know?

Hi  @994 

 

If only two CPE units, you don't need the Pharos Control.

 

Yes, the video you shared is what I am going to recommend.

 

And yes, the userguide also helps.
