SOLVED - Pi-hole and bandwidthd

[razorworks]

Hey guys,

my pi-hole is running on a debian 9 - all updates installed. I used the webinstaller for pi-hole - everything is working fine.

Now I'd like to set-up bandwithd on the same machine by using lighttpd - like pi-hole is already using.

I created the file /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/91-aliases.conf for collecting all aliases (here: only one (1)) in one file, but it's not working. This is the content:

alias.url += (
        "/bandwidth" => "/var/lib/bandwidthd/htdocs"
)

Any suggestions?

Thanks to the community.

Could be a trouble with trailing slash ?

What are the results for a request with /bandwidth/ and another request with /bandwidth ?

Also, look into access and error logs of the httpd sever for info about what file/dir is accessed.

I tried /bandwidth/, /bandwidthd/, /bandwidthd, /bandwidth.

This are the results from access.log (no error.log-entries):

1522694596|lo.cal.ho.st|GET /bandwidth/ HTTP/1.1|200|342
1522694597|lo.cal.ho.st|GET /bandwidthd/ HTTP/1.1|200|342
1522694601|lo.cal.ho.st|GET /bandwidthd HTTP/1.1|200|342
1522694605|lo.cal.ho.st|GET /bandwidth HTTP/1.1|200|342

In all tested browser I only receive the pi-hole-default page (not the admin interface).

Anything else?¿?
This is the displayed page:

that the 404 file...
server.error-handler-404

That's probably means the /bandwidth is checked in the document-root. My guess is that your alias isn't working ...

Do you have the alias module loading in your lighttpd ? Look at the server.modules in your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Don't forget that the conf file could be overwrited by pi-hole update/reinstall, etc...

This worked for me...

sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/90-my.conf

Content:

alias.url += (
        "/bandwidth" => "/var/lib/bandwidthd/htdocs/"
)

sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Content:

server.modules = (
        ...
        "mod_alias"
)

sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Now open 192.168.x.x/bandwidth/ in your browser.

cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

server.modules = (
        "mod_access",
        "mod_accesslog",
        "mod_alias",
        "mod_auth",
        "mod_expire",
        "mod_compress",
        "mod_redirect",
        "mod_setenv",
        "mod_rewrite"
)

Thanks for the hint.

That's the solution:

I created my aliases-file (/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/91-aliases.conf), but there was no link in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled:

/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled# ln -s ../conf-available/91-aliases.conf 91-aliases.conf

With this link and the restart it's working fine. Now I only have to optimize the output of bandwidthd.

Thank you.

@mibere: Do you use a database for bandwidthd or file system? I'd like to use MariaDB10 as "storage".
