x0Jakeyboy0x Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Me too unfortunately. It worked at first. Then I changed the name of my access point and did a reboot and it wouldn't start. Then I did a factory reset and no go. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadloft Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I had the same issue. I decided to SSH into the router a manually view the config/script files. I found that after making a change via the web interface that a "^M" was being added to the end of every line. I simply removed the "^M" and everything worked fine. The config/script files are located at /overlay/www/pineapple/ Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x0Jakeyboy0x Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks dreadloft. After some frustration, I too found this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yeah seems some configuration files ignore the ^M and others all together quit working. I need to figure out what it is in config.php that's causing the additional linefeeds and issue an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Here's an article on the problem: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20001206164827794 I'm working on an update to config.php to keep the ^M from appearing.

Darren Kitchen Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Just replied in detail to your query at http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?showtopic=23446&st=0&gopid=189727entry189727 I also address this on the wifipineapple.com FAQ at http://www.wifipineapple.com/doku.php#faq Once your karma.conf has been cleansed of the offending ^M characters Karma will start just fine. Either follow the directions in the above links to manually SSH in and use vi to edit /etc/hostapd/karma.conf To do so with vi, first ssh to the pineapple (on Windows use Putty or on mac/linux issue "ssh root@172.16.42.1") The username is root and the default password is pineapplesareyummy (you may want to change this later on) Now that you're logged into the pineapple issue "vi /etc/hostapd/karma.conf" In vi you'll notice the offending "^M" characters at the ends of each line. Enter insert mode by pressing "i" and use your arrow keys to navigate the cursor to just after the "^M". Press backspace. Lather, rinse, repeat. Once all of the "^M"s have been removed press ESCAPE to exit insert mode, press ":", type "X" and press ENTER. For more on using vi check out this tutorial: http://www.unix-manuals.com/tutorials/vi/vi-in-10-1.html I'm sure between this post and the two linked above you'll get all squared away. Cheers!
