dashticz: Important Request

[jackrobijn]

Reagarding the garbage and calendar running local on your raspberry server.
i installed on a seperate raspberry 2 the 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch-lite image, installed as extra php 7.0 because php did not work.
Also installed the php curl. ( not know of it would be necessary) (not installed domoticz because that is running on a seperate raspberry
Installed the latest dashiticz v2-beta and only had to add the config['calendar_parse_localy']=true; .
After this and setting garbage and calendar back in the config from my original config, that is all working again.
I have still also running my original dashicz master running in seperate directory Withou t the working calendar and garbage.
Now it is a good time to revamp how the dashboard is looking, give it at fresh new look, using examples that everyone is showing.

[stuffer]

Ok, I reverted the calendar.js and changed: config['calendar_parse_localy']=true; --> config['calendar_parse_localy']=1;

Still no luck. Where i can start to debug this? It feels that i am pretty close but I don't no where to start searching.
(and I hope to create an how to for other users)

For the debugging: press F12 in Chrome, and look for errors in the console.

ok, in the console in this:

with this config:

var calendars = {}
calendars.business = { maxitems: 4, icalurl: 'https://inzamelschema.rmn.nl/ical/0356200000014977' }

But when I copy and paste the iCal link it is working in a browser.

--edit--Updated to the latest beta and still having the 404.
The 404 is coming from my apache that is running on the same server as domoticz and dashticz.

Do somebody knows what to change on the webserver part?

---edit2---With an new fresh dashticz (beta) the problem is the same.

----Edit3---- ln -s /home/myhomefolder/domoticz/www/dashboard/ /var/www/html/

and openend the webpage without the port number did the trick.

@Stuffer, earlier in this thread it was mentioned to run the file phpinfo.php in your browser (you should find/create this file in the root of your apache server folder (/www/html most likely))

Curl, when properly installed, should have it's own section on the page that now opens.

Love the initiative!
I installed Domoticz because it doesn't need external connections (other than getting an update of this great software). Previously I retrieved data from my gas and electricity provider (by internet) to create data overviews. But as they were not reliable regarding data retrieval I decided to install Domoticz and retrieve data from my gas and electricity hardware directly.
Reading that your great tools needs a connection to your server, my previous described independence is unfortunately lost. Please consider the tool to install on the user's server intirely locally instead of connecting to your server as well. And yes, I will be willing to pay for the tool when it runs independly from your server. Thanks, DD

Did you read last week postings in this thread??? The external server doesn't even exist anymore. You will have no other option say the moment than running everything locally!

Btw, you can always make a donation to the domoticz devs if you like to thank somebody financially!

I use Debian 9 Raspbian Stretch. I made a new installation.

You must use apache for the calendar and garbage to work!

Copy to /var/www/html
|-~dashticz_v2
|-afval
|-ical
|-ov
|-tv

it works!
Thanks to robgeerts

[HansieNL]

@worms : There's a new beta and you don't need to download and install dashticz.zip anymore.

[worms]

@HansieNL: Sure. I checked it agrees. The beta version only solves part of the problems. Many problems are caused by the configuration of 'Apache2', support for headers and permissions.

[HansieNL]

@worms: I installed Nginx with PHP as described on raspberrypi website. The only extra I had to install was PHP curl and had to set permissions. No problems at all running Dashticz.

[Lokonli]

There might still be an issue when Dashticz and PHP are not running on the same server. I expect that will be solved in the next beta as well. (I've created a PR for that)

[Pandabeer]

have a question

Done
IMPORTANT: Create a Symbolic Link into /var/www/html/
CODE: SELECT ALL

ln -s /home/pi/domoticz/www/dashticz_v2/ /var/www/html/
In the resource:
/var/www/html/~dashticz_v2 ???

Url link run by apache2:
http://ip_server:82/dashticz_v2/index.html --> this is working



what should I do with this:
dashticz.zip
Copy to /var/www/html
|-~dashticz_v2
|-afval
|-ical
|-ov
|-tv

I have /var/www/html (which I can open with 192.168.178.25:82 (apache2 Debian message page - It works)-- surfing to 192.168.178.25:82/dashticz_v2/ will give me Dashticz V2 but without seeing garbage and calender...

Can you help me out

[Thuis]

I give up. Can not get local to work. Did so many things to try, and with an apache server php curl the whole shit installed it takes ages to load the page so i give up. I will not be using the garbage anymore and the calendar i now use is just buttons.agenda and then i have to tick it and the calendar comes up. Shame that it needs to be like this, but with all this php curl modules and extension plug ins that need to be installed extra to view a calendar i was thinking, the hell with it, i want it to be as easy as possible. So i hope the option comes back to not view it locally i will try and change back with the nice garbage and ical calendar, so far i just give up. Also on windows 7 with apache and on raspian on my intel xeon n270 i can not get it to work.

By the way, will there be an option again to not use it locally, or is this the way it is ?¿

[EdwinK]

I hope that soon there will be an easier way to do this all. Maybe something with a config setting, where you just have to place the place where the files are placed. I guess that that would be some more work for Rob though to do.

[Thuis]

No it is not Rob, Rob is doing a good job, keep up the good work, it is just me and the logic that i do not see to do this all for a calendar. It worked fine as it was. But hey, the rest is still working and looking great so i am happy though ... whoops the 'traffic' and the 'news' stopped working suddenly ... hmmmm !

Part1:

Thanks. I was going to work on this, when I realized that this is for when you are using a Pi as webserver, right? I host my dashticz file on a synology NAS. Going to check if this will work there too.

[moses123]

The guide from worms is correct, except the part with the zip-file, which is not needed any more.
I have done nearly the same, except using lighttp.

[Pandabeer]

Hi Moses,

can you give a more step by step approach? - I believe I have php running (192.168.178.25:82 gives me Apache2 Debian Default Page - It works) but the rest is for me abracadabra like /~dashicz_v2 in stead of /dashticz_v2 ansd about the folders like /ov /garbage - i don't see those (I'm running v 4.4.6 of Dashticz V2)

Are you sure you are using the beta branch?
I just installed from start and worked right away..

[moses123]

???? The post from WORMS is a step by step. and again: You do not need the zip- part!

[JoshDinsdale]

Is there anyway to get dashticz to create a debug or log or something? I have some odd issues but dont know how to get any useful debug information...
