Raspcontrol is a web control centre written in PHP for Raspberry Pi.

Lots of merges from many different people! See the commit history for everybodies hard work. ~ Jacob.

Clone the repo with

git clone https://github.com/bioshox/Raspcontrol.git

When done, just put the files where your web server folder is installed.

You have to create a json format file in /etc/raspcontrol named database.aptmnt, for instance with nano /etc/raspcontrol/database.aptmnt, which contains:

{
	"user":       "yourName",
	"password":   "yourPassword"
}

To get some network statistics, we need to have some rights. Adding www-data to the video group is a safe way. You can do that by executing the following command :

usermod -a -G video www-data

That's all! You're ready to show the status of your Raspberry Pi :)

In order to have some beautiful URLs (raspcontrol/details instead of raspcontrol/?page=details), you can enable URL Rewriting. You have to do some other steps, described above.

Note: It's not necessary to enable URL Rewriting to use Raspcontrol.

Please edit the config.php file, for instance with nano config.php, and set the $rewriting variable on true:

$rewriting = true;

Then, you have to enable the URL Rewriting module of your web server. Steps are written for the main web server.

Enable the rewrite module with the command: a2enmod rewrite.

Edit your vhost configuration file to allow override rules. By default, you have to edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, and change AllowOverride None by AloowOverride All:

<Directory /var/www/>  
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews  
	AllowOverride All
	Order allow,deny  
	Allow from all  
</Directory>  

Then, uncomment the three last lines from the .htaccess file (remove the #):

# URL rewriting (uncomment = remove the # on the 3 following lines)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^details$ index.php?page=details
RewriteRule ^logout$ login.php?logout

Heads up: Do not forget to reload Apache with service apache2 reload.

Edit your default location file:

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Look at the above section:

location / {
		root   /var/www;
		index  index.php index.html index.htm;

and add the following rules:

rewrite ^/raspcontrol/details$ /raspcontrol/index.php?page=details last;
rewrite ^/raspcontrol/logout$ /raspcontrol/login.php?logout last;

Be careful: You have to remplace raspcontrol with the name of the folder wich contains Raspcontrol.

Heads up: Do not forget to reload Nginx with service nginx reload.
