Node not in menu

sschafffert · April 30, 2020, 11:38pm

I’m working on Allmon2 on my Raspberry PI 3 node. I am seeing index.php in my browser and I am able to login. I am not seeing any errors , but my node is not being displayed in the menu.

I am sure I missed something, but I don’t know what. I’ve checked the configuration several times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Stuart

That sure sounds like a configuration error. If you keep the original allmon.ini.txt file you might copy it per the README and try your edits again.

Allmon README
Updated Feburary 2, 2018

Allmon is a web site for managing one or more app_rpt (aka Allstar) nodes.
Each managed local node shows a list of connected nodes. The list is
sorted in reverse order of the most recently received node. So the last
node to talk is always at the top of the list. Any node that is currently
being received will be highlighted by a green background as well as moving
to the top of the list. The node list is updated once a second giving near-
real-time status.

Nodes may be grouped together when configuring Allmon. Groups enable two
or mode nodes to be displayed on the same page. This can be handy if you
use devices with smaller screens or you want to see a couple of your nodes
at the same time. Don't try to display more than a few per group as performance
will suffer.

Logged in users can perform connect and disconnects. Users are maintained
with the Apache htpasswd utility. There is only one login level, admin.

I’m going to clarify my issue now that I understand it a little better. I’m not getting any of the menu items/buttons on my allmon2 web page. I’ve been through the configs several times and everything looks correct.

PHP 7 was installed rather than PHP 5, could that be the problem?

Thanks,

Would you like me to have a look at your node? If so please let me know and we can start a PM to make arrangements.

That’s a possibility. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to work
on it and I’m not sure when I can get back to it. So i’ll have to
figure out when and get back to you.

The configuration edits seem pretty simple and straightforward
and I’ve checked them multiple times. Everything looks to be
correct.

I managed to fix it. I was sanitizing the configs so as to not give away my password when it started working and the menu showed up on the web page. Apparently, the password cannot contain certain special characters in my case it didn’t like the explanation point.

Is there documentation somewhere to that effect that I missed? If not maybe there should be.

Thanks for replying

That’s a new one! Thanks for the update, might help the next guy.

The only thing I changed was the password and things started
working. I can try putting an exclamation point in the password
and see if the problem returns. It would be an interesting test.

It is confirmed as repeatable. I put an exclamation point at the end of the working password in the allmon.ini.php file and the menu will not load on the allmon2 webpage. Remove the exclamation point and the menu shows up. The exclamation point may be a PHP reserved character.
