Help with new Sly white card running ClearOS 5.2 CCcam/Newcs server

Hello,

I am really struggling to get my Sly white card to share properly and in desparate need of some help!

My setup:-

ClearOS 5.2 (I followed the well published tutorial!)
CCcam 2.1.2
NewCS 1.67 RC1
USB Smargo smartcard reader

From what I have read up on you cannot run a higher version of CCcam on ClearOS 5.2 than CCcam 2.1.2, and with this version the Sly white card does not share properly?

I am now looking at getting NewCS 1.67 RC1 working as I am lead to believe this is the way to go. However I have no idea how to configure the NewCS.xml file for my particular setup even after reading up on it?

Should I abandon using ClearOS and go for a Ubuntu/Debian server?

Any advice would be much appeciated, I have done plenty of research and have only posted this because I am really desparate to get this working!

Great site btw, full of lots of useful info.

Many thanks for the prompt responses and input here people!

I will take your advice and post my progress to help other people who may be struggling with this.

Could somebody kindly point me in the right direction of a tutorial for installing and configuring ubuntu 11.10 server for cardsharing?

Pretty useless when it comes to Linux systems I'm afraid!

I'm guessing once I have the OS configured correctly I will be able to follow the advice that has already been provided.

Thank you for your patience! :-)

Hi All,

Just thought I would give an update on my progress to those who are interested:-

- Successfully installed Ubuntu 11.10 server and installed the OpenSSH module, so that I could putty onto the box from my Windows laptop.

- The next step was to follow HOW TO - CCcam+Oscam Automated Installation for Ubuntu where I ran into my first problem...how do I get the files onto my new server??? Ok not a problem installed Proftpd using the command - apt-get install proftpd (not forgetting to put 'sudo' in front of the command if not logged on as root user!).

- Next step before I could use proftpd to ftp the required files to my new server was to install an ftp client on my laptop (I used Filezilla) and also read up on google how to customise the proftpd config file using the nano text editor to allow ftp connections from my laptop. After much messing around (mainly because I am pretty useless with Linux at present but slowly getting there!) I managed to get the files mentioned in the tutorial onto the home/user directory of my ubuntu user account.

- Ok now we are getting somewhere right...? Lol

- So finally I was able to follow the tutorial linked above, but this again was no easy feat! After plenty of reading up on Linux commands, making mistakes and sheer brute force and ignorance, I managed to finally copy all the files I needed to the /tmp directory and run the CCcamOscamInstall.sh script successfully! woohoo!

- Next I updated my CCcam.cfg file with all the correct info (hopefully!) and looked at Problem setting up/following Ubuntu CCcam + Oscam Install Script - Please HELP!!! which was kindly post/suggested by mrgmx.

- Ok I am now pretty much in the same situation as mrgmx was when he posted the above thread! I can load the CCcam page by going to SERVER_IP:16001 but when I try to access the Oscam page by going to SERVER_IP:8888 I just get 'page cannot be displayed' in the browser! Any ideas?

I have configured the oscam.config, oscam.server and oscam.user files using a variety of tutorials including the ones mentioned in this thread and am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong!?

here are my configs:-

oscam.conf

[global]
nice = -1
logfile = /dev/null
clienttimeout = 5000
fallbacktimeout = 2500
clientmaxidle = 120
cachedelay = 120
bindwait = 120
resolvedelay = 30
serialreadertimeout = 1500
maxlogsize = 10
waitforcards = 1
preferlocalcards = 1
saveinithistory = 1
keepalive = 1

[webif]
httpport = 8888
httpuser =
httppwd =
httprefresh = 5
httphideidleclients = 0
httpallowed = 192.168.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
debug = 255

[newcamd]
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
port = 10000@0963:000000

oscam.server

[reader]
label = ***uk
protocol = smartreader
detect = cd
device = 008:003 ---> I got this by plugging my smargo usb smartcard + reader in and running the command lsusb to get the bus/dev ids
emmcache = 1,3,2
caid = 0963
boxid = xxxxxxxx ---> same boxkey I used in my old CCcam.cfg file last time I had a go at doing this!
blockemm-u = 0
blockemm-s = 0
blockemm-g = 1
blockemm-unknown = 1
mhz = 600
cardmhz = 600
ident = 0963:000000
group = 1

oscam.user

[account]
user = cccam
pwd = cccam
monlevel = 0
uniq = 0
group = 1
au = ***UK
caid = 0963

Apologies for the information overflow here, maybe I should of taken mrgmx's advice and just installed Ubuntu desktop!!! :)

Anyway thank you to all for the help so far, I will continue to work on this and see if I can get things working on my own, but please feel for to offer some advice! Lol

Great forum, very friendly and lots of information.

Thanks for the quick replies guys!

I didn't have username and password set but will try that!

mrgmx

I have run oscam -b and just oscam on it's own (as root and sudo user) and all I get is a message saying 'Segmentation fault'

Any ideas...?

Spodge

Ok guys I've tried adding in username and password but still no joy!

Cannot access oscam via my web browser and still get 'Segmentation fault' when trying to run oscam from the terminal...?

Past my bed time now but thanks for the comments so far!

Nighty night and have a good bank hols :)

Evening all,

Another update on my extremely slow progress! Lol

I decided to cut my losses and start from scratch again... sigh

- Installed Ubuntu Server 11.10 (for the second time now!) with a complete default installation, nothing special so as to keep it straight forward and simple!

- Copied the files from this tutorial to a USB stick and then copied them to the /tmp directory on my new Ubuntu server installation (after researching on the internet how to mount usb devices from the command line etc!).

- Followed the HOW TO - CCcam+Oscam Automated Installation for Ubuntu tutorial.

Note: At this point all seemed to have gone smoothly and as expected!

I am not getting the 'Segmentation fault' I did previously when running Oscam, instead I am getting the same error reported by mrgmx in his original thread:-

oscam: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Next step - I am going to work back through mrgmx's thread to see if I can resolve the issue, if I get no joy with that I will try a manual install of oscam and failing that I will finally give up on server and try installing Ubuntu desktop instead!!!

As always comments/input will be gladly received! :-)

Spodge

Ok as GeorgeXL (AKA Darth Maul! lol) pointed out in his post, this indeed was my next step!

After running a sudo -i apt-get install libssl0.9.8:i386 command the files successfully downloaded and installed.

I then used various tutorials/threads from this site (some already mentioned many times in this thread) to set my config files for CCcam and Oscam and HEY PRESTO!!!.....

My server is now up and running and sharing my white sly card via my USB smargo smartreader + with my dm800, mission accomplished!!! :-)

I would like to thank everyone who posted comments on this thread, I could not have done this without your patience and help!

I hope this thread helps others out that may have struggled like me! :-)
