2.3 Build 204 channel updating.

hmm...sounds like its not restarting after you upload your bouquets...

have you TSpanel installed? If so..try installing a bouquet list from there and see if that makes any difference...

If DBE is failing to connect on port 80...check your OpenWebIf port is setup correctly!

It's down to the Open Web IF as in build 204 we removed the old web interface but left it in the feeds for those wishing to continue to use it as such the Open Web IF is still using it's own default port. you can either change this on the receiver or change it in DBE to mirror the new port number.

ftp into your receiver, and delete first all of the existing files in /etc/enigma2 that start with 'userbouquet' and 'bouquets', and also 'blacklist', 'lamedb', and 'whitelist'

then try again.

I had the same problem, every time the upload failed it closed off the ftp server on my receiver as well, requiring a reboot.

Once I deleted the existing files as mentioned, it allowed me to upload my old saved channel settings.

Did you try clicking on the reload settings button after it failed to reload settings?

I had something similar to your problem what happens with me is,

It uploads no problems but cant send reload settings so using DBedit I connect to box and click ftp and then click the reload settings button

its not the ftp port you need to change but the HTTP port, change this to 8080.

as pointed out above that part is handled via a Telnet command which needs the correct HTTP port setting either in DBE ( change it to 8080 ) or just change the port that the Open Web IF uses on the box it self to port 80, which is the default port the old webif used.

Default port is 8088 - with this port set it still doesn't reload settings, but instead in ftp options of dreambox edit, I choose to send custom command to the receiver after sending settings - 'killall enigma2' which then restarts the GUI so the new settings I have uploaded are there.

yes i meant 8088 sorry about that, as i said thats needed so that DBE can connect to the receiver via a inbuilt telnet session and initiate a GUI restart so that the settings take hold.

you could try this

start a telnet session and issue the init 4 command.
start DBE and transfer the settings to the receiver but do not hit the reload button.
go back to the telnet session and issue the init 3 command

now close dbe and check the settings have taken hold. or just use dreamset as it will do all the above but with a very ugly gui.

Glad your sorted and see what happens with a little perseverance ?

now when the new image is released dont forget to change the HTTP port in DBE back to 80 as in that image we have removed the old web interface completely and the Open Web interface has been assigned the default HTTP port.
