使用树莓派的强制门户

Question

I am making an captive portal using the apache server:(raspberry pi)

I have 2 ports-> 20.20.20.2 and 10001=>(20.20.20.2-10001)

This is the method I followed:

1. I have: (sudo apt-get update) Installed the necessary updates
2. Installing apache: sudo apt-get install apache2 -y
3. Then I have started the (sudo apachectl start) server.

(Also refer to this article: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/web-server/apache.md )

And I have entered the IP in the browser but it is redirecting me to the Port 20.20.20.2 but I want it to go to the index.html file(default file ) in the apache server.

Please help! The apache server is running fine but when I connect to the raspberry pi its not redirecting it to the index.html file. Please let me know the possible errors

If you need more information please comment

Answer 1

I also looked for a solution for captiv portal. A solution that worked for me was nodogsplash .

Instructions and a repository for debian (also Raspian) can be downloaded from the Github page : https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash

Install library for compile

sudo apt install git libmicrohttpd-dev 

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash.git

Compile and install

cd ~/nodogsplash
make
sudo make install

Set your configuration

sudo nano /etc/nodogsplash/nodogsplash.conf

And Reboot the os

I hope this answer helps
