Pineapple on Wifi - SSH but no HTTP?

[StickyC]

Just got a Nano and am working through getting it set up.

I went through the setup via USB/Ethernet on Win10, got the internet sharing working, installed a few modules, did a few scans, the web interface worked fine.

I want to run the thing without a PC, so I read up on setting it up as a wireless client for my local network (per https://wiki.wifipineapple.com/#!./connectivity.md#WiFi_Client_Mode).

I got a Panda USB WiFi dongle and set the Nano up as a Wifi client for my local network using WLAN2. Verified that it connected to my WiFi and got an IP, then shut the Nano down and plugged it into a USB charger.

Via Wifi - The Nano connects to my AP fine and I can SSH in to it, but when I try to pull up a web page, I just get an empty index.html (200 response) - even trying a wget on localhost from the Nano itself.

Nginx appears to be running and there's nothing in /var/nginx/error.log.

Did I miss a step?

Could it be that you were trying to access the web interface at 172.16.42.1 instead of 172.16.42.1:1471?

[StickyC]

Nope - It's definitely giving an HTTP response, just serving up an empty page.

@kbeflo is right, you are using the wrong port. You should be going to 1471.

The reason you are getting a 200 on port 80 is because of the webserver running for captive portal purposes.

[StickyC]

Ahhh, that makes sense. 

It wasn't super clear from the docs, but I only had WLAN1 and WLAN2 available on the list, so I assumed the external was being mapped to WLAN2 and WLAN1 is both internal radios. Is this not correct?

[Foxtrot]

wlan0 is the internal AP radio interface, wlan1 is the secondary internal radio interface for PineAP. Any wlanX after that will be external.

 

You may come across wlan0-1, it's a virtual interface for the primary radio used for the management AP.
