Starting hpsdr via web fails

Hello Peter,

What image are you using? Normally, with the SD card images provided by Red Pitaya the SDR applications start without problem.

Anyway, I've also noticed this problem yesterday when testing the VNA application with my new Debian based image and fixed the permissions in this commit.

I'm currently rebuilding all the images and applications. When they are ready, I'll upload the applications to the application market place and I'll also update all my images.

Best regards,

Pavel

I was using an image built from your master git repository. I have built a vmware build environment using debian and have been testing some of your recent commits to master. So the answer is basically your repository but built from source.

Thanks for the clarification. So, you observe exactly the same problem that I've found and fixed yesterday.

A temporary workaround would be to manually fix the permissions of the start.sh and stop.sh scripts:

chmod +x start.sh stop.sh

Once I upload the new versions of the applications to the application marketplace, the applications will work with your image without any manual fixes.

Thanks we can close this then.

Now I only need to work out how someone got the wspr code to coexist!

Somehow . ./start.sh seems to bypass this lack of permission?

Just noticed the dot in front of ./start.sh.

. ./start.sh is equivalent to source ./start.sh. It reads the script and executes it line by line. The execution permission is not needed in this case.

Without dot or source in front of ./start.sh, the scripts should have a correct execution permission.

Now I only need to work out how someone got the wspr code to coexist!

There are some hints in #213 (comment).

To better coexist with other application, the WSPR transceiver application should be refactored into a monolithic program with eventually a web interface for configuration of call, grid, bands, etc.
