Configuring Linux on your MyBook World Edition www.daviddn.com
Installing the base System
Enabling SSH on your MyBook
1. Determine the IP address of your MyBook. The MyBook initially connects to your
network via DHCP so you can check your DHCP clients on your router.
2. Access the MyBook Web Interface via the URL http://mybook_ip/
3. During the next steps you will be prompted for the administrator’s username and
password. By default these are admin/123456
4. Create new share users via the Web Interface. Click on File Sharing and then select
User Management. Add user accounts for david and niamh.
5. Update the firmware on the device using the URL below. In fact, this doesn’t attempt
to update the firmware it is merely a way of injecting code into the MyBook to allow
the SSH daemon to start running so that we can connect via SSH. If the firmware is
not available from this third-party site when you need to install it then use the file
called latestfw.sh, which is included within the System Files collection of this project.
http://mybook/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl?fwserver=martin.hinner.info/mybook/firmware.php
6. A message saying new firmware is available will be displayed. Click on the button to
download and install the new firmware. It will tell you that the installation process
will take up to 30 minutes, but because we are not really installing a new firmware
(we are only enabling SSH) the process will in fact only take a couple of minutes.
7. You will not receive any message saying when the update has completed so you will
need to wait a couple of minutes and then try SSH to see if it works. When it is
available you should log in as one of the user accounts that you created before (david
in my case) and then type the following to get the root shell (no password is required).
login as: david

david@192.168.2.200's password: [enter password]
[david@MyBookWorld ~]$ su –
[root@MyBookWorld ~]#
8. In order to make SSHD permanent (so that you don’t lose it after a reboot):
vi /etc/inittab
Enter the following at the end of the file:
# Make SSH Permanent

::sysinit:/usr/sbin/sshd
9. Reboot your MyBook and check that it works
Page 2 of 16
Configuring the Network
1. SSH back into your MyBook to perform the following steps to set a static IP address
2. Configure the network settings file
vi /var/oxsemi/network-settings
Ensure the file looks like this, where 192.168.2.200 is the IP address to assign:
network_mode=static
hostname=MyBookWorld
workgroup=workgroup
static_ip=192.168.2.200
static_msk=24
static_gw=192.168.2.1
static_dns1=192.168.2.1
static_dns2=
static_dns3=
static_ntp=north-america.pool.ntp.org
revert_to_dhcp=no
3. Configure the hosts settings file
vi /etc/hosts
Ensure the file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.200 MyBookWorld
4. Configure the name-server resolution settings file
vi /etc/resolv.conf
Ensure the file looks like this:
nameserver 192.168.2.1
5. Reboot your MyBook. Your IP address should now be changed to 192.168.2.200
reboot

Install OptWare
1. OptWare is a set of pre-compiled binaries for the MyBook. Many Linux packages are
available and can be installed easily with their dependencies automatically catered for.
You can install OptWare by issuing the following commands in the terminal:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-optware.sh
sh setup-optware.sh
2. If you are having any troubles accessing the website then check that the site is
available in a standard web-browser. You also may want to confirm that the network
changes that you made in the last section are correctly implemented.
3. You then need to reconfigure the ld.so.conf configuration file to know where the
libraries are kept on the MyBook (as the standard installation doesn’t know).
echo "/opt/lib" >>/etc/ld.so.conf

ldconfig
4. Unfortunately the above does not work for all OptWare packages and you may get
some complaining that they are missing a key library file. Therefore, you should also
include the following line in your .bashrc file in the root users account.
vi /root/.bashrc
The following lines are added to the end of the file:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin
5. We should now update the local OptWare feed lists. You should also issue this
command to get package updates for those packages that you have already installed.
/opt/bin/ipkg update
6. You can also use the following commands to see which packages are available and
which packages you have already got installed on your Linux system. The installation
of new packages is covered in the next section when we should how to install Samba.
/opt/bin/ipkg list
/opt/bin/ipkg list_installed
Page 4 of 16
Install Samba
1. We can install Samba (one of the OptWare packages) by issuing the command below:
/opt/bin/ipkg update
/opt/bin/ipkg install samba
2. Next, configure the Samba settings file so that it exposes the shares that you require. I
have made a couple of alterations here. Most importantly, I have remarked out the
shares.inc file and put the shares that I want in the main smb.conf file instead. This is
because the MyBook overwrites the shares.inc file when you make changes via the
Web Interface and on every reboot, but it doesn’t overwrite the main smb.conf file.
vi /var/oxsemi/smb.conf
[global]
server string=MyBookWorld
workgroup=workgroup
interfaces=192.168.2.200/24 127.0.0.1/8
security=user
smb passwd file=/var/private/smbpasswd
private dir=/var/private
guest account=www-data
log file=/var/log/log.%m
log level=0
max log size=50
dns proxy=No
lock directory=/var/locks
pid directory=/var/locks
use sendfile=Yes
map to guest = Bad User
create mask = 755
map hidden = Yes
veto files = /shares/internal/.senvidData/ /shares/internal/lost+found/
[PUBLIC]
path=/shares/internal/PUBLIC
valid users=niamh david
write list=niamh david
guest ok=No
#[dummy-2]
#include=/var/oxsemi/shares.inc
#[dummy-3]
#include=/var/oxsemi/senvid.inc
3. Above I have created a new share at /shares/internal/PUBLIC so I now need to ensure

that this directory exists. If you have configured any shares previously via the Web
Interface then it probably will do, but it’s best to make sure:
mkdir /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chown root:www-data /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chmod 775 /shares/internal/PUBLIC
4. Finally, restart your Samba service and attempt to connect to the drive from a PC:
/etc/init.d/samba.sh restart

Disabling MioNET
1. There are many documented approaches on the Internet telling you how to disable
MioNET (a horrible piece of software that cripples your ability to share certain types
of media from your MyBook). Most approaches require you to kill processes or
comment out lines from the mionet.sh file. Instead, the easiest way I found was to just
comment out a couple of lines in the Post Network start-up configuration file:
vi /etc/init.d/post_network_start.sh
start() {
if [ ! -e "$POST_NETWORK_STARTED_FILE" ]
then
$SCRIPTS_PATH/crond.sh start
#$SCRIPTS_PATH/mionet.sh start
touch $POST_NETWORK_STARTED_FILE
fi
}
stop() {
if [ -e "$POST_NETWORK_STARTED_FILE" ]
then
#$SCRIPTS_PATH/mionet.sh stop
$SCRIPTS_PATH/crond.sh stop
rm $POST_NETWORK_STARTED_FILE
fi
}
2. Reboot your MyBook to check if everything is OK.
reboot

Installing the Web Server
Active a Simple Web Server on Port 8080
1. Firstly, make a backup of the main configuration file:
cp /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak
2. Create the following directories on the server within the Internal Share:
mkdir /shares/internal/WWW
mkdir /shares/internal/WWW/public
3. Edit the index.html for the Web Server and provide links to the future MyBook URL:
vi /shares/internal/WWW/public/index.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MyBook</TITLE>
<STYLE>
A{
text-decoration:none; color:#0000FF; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:14px;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY topmargin=60>
<P align=CENTER>
<A href=/mybook/>Online Storage</A>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
4. Add the following lines to the end of the lighttpd.conf file. This will create a new web
site on port 8080 and will disable the Standard NAS Admin interface on that server.
vi /shares/internal/WWW/public/index.html
$SERVER["socket"] == ":8080" {
index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
server.document-root = "/shares/internal/WWW/public"
fastcgi.server = (
"nasMaster.pl" => (( "socket" => "",)),
".pl" => (( "socket" => "",)))
}
5. Restart lighttpd and test the website by going to http://192.168.2.200:8080/
Page 7 of 16
Active a Secure Web Server on Port 443
1. This will create a secure Web Server on port 443 (HTTPS with Authentication). It
will also add a simple User Admin Tool to control which user accounts have access.
First, create the following directories and files as outlined below:
mkdir /shares/internal/WWW/Welcome
echo \<P\> Hello World (Secure) \</P\> >/shares/internal/WWW/Welcome/index.html
mkdir /shares/internal/WWW/Admin
touch /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/Adminaccess.log
touch /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/access.log
chmod 646 /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/access.log
chmod 646 /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/Adminaccess.log
cp /usr/www/lib/images/icons/Globe.gif /shares/internal/WWW/Admin
2. Add a user account (admin/123456) for the Admin user to the Digest file:
vi /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/WebUsers.htdigest.user
admin:WEBADMIN:e0fd3b3c0a1a153230ecf71477b2055c
3. Next acquire the following files from the Wiki website.
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/fr.pem
-O /shares/internal/WWW/fr.pem
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/SetWebUser.sh
-O /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/SetWebUser.sh
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/web-server/WebMgr.pl
-O /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/WebMgr.pl
4. The contents of the default WebMgr.pl script need to be altered so that all references
to PUBLIC/WWW/ are changed to WWW/. I have included the complete altered
version of the WebMgr.pl script in the appendix to this document.
5. Set the permissions on the scripts:
chmod 755 /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/SetWebUser.sh

chmod 755 /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/WebMgr.pl
6. Check all the files are where they should be:
ls -l /shares/internal/WWW/Admin/
-rw-r--rw- 1 root root 127038 May 28 21:37 Adminaccess.log

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3011 Apr 21 22:38 Globe.gif
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 560 Apr 23 21:45 SetWebUser.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6018 Apr 23 21:39 WebMgr.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 367 May 18 21:06 WebUsers.htdigest.user
-rw-r--rw- 1 root root 1510296 May 28 22:02 access.log
Page 8 of 16
7. Edit the sudoers file so that SetWebUser.sh can be run as root:
vi /etc/sudoers
...
/etc/init.d/samba.sh,\
/usr/www/nbin/updateNFS.sh,\
/shares/internal/WWW/Admin/SetWebUser.sh
8. Edit the lighttpd configuration file by adding a new server definitions to the end:
vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
...
server.network-backend = "write"
index-file.names = ( "index.html” )
server.document-root = "/shares/internal/WWW/Welcome"
auth.backend.htdigest.userfile = "/shares/internal/WWW/Admin/WebUsers.htdigest.user"
auth.require = ( "/" =>
(
"method" => "digest",
"realm" => "WEB",
"require" => "valid-user"
)
)
accesslog.filename = "/shares/internal/WWW/Admin/access.log"
fastcgi.server = (
".pl" => (( "socket" => "",)))
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/shares/internal/WWW/fr.pem"
}
index-file.names = ( "WebMgr.pl" )
fastcgi.server = ( "WebMgr.pl" =>
((
"socket" => "/tmp/lighttpd.webmgr.socket",
"bin-path" => "/shares/internal/WWW/Admin/WebMgr.pl",
"check-local" => "disable",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"idle-timeout" => 30,
)),
".pl" => (( "socket" => "",)),
"nasMaster.pl" => (( "socket" => "",))
)
server.document-root = "/shares/internal/WWW/Admin"
(
"realm" => "WEBADMIN",
)
)
accesslog.filename = "/shares/internal/WWW/Admin/Adminaccess.log"
}
9. Restart lighttpd and test the interfaces:
/etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh restart
Connect to https://mybook:3210 to configure user accounts (admin/123456)

Connect to https://mybook to access the secure Web Server
Page 9 of 16
Installing PHP Support
1. PHP is most easily installed from the OptWare packages:
/opt/bin/ipkg install php-fcgi

/opt/bin/ipkg install libiconv
2. Next change the lighttpd configuration file so that it includes PHP support.
3. Inside the fastcgi.server sections add the following lines:
...
fastcgi.server = (
".php" => (( "bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/php.socket",
"bin-environment" => (
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH" => "/opt/lib",
),
)),
".pl" => (( "socket" => "",)))
}
...
4. Change the index-file.names sections as follows:
...
index-file.names = ( "index.html" ,"index.php" )
...

Publishing MyBook Content on the Internet
1. Create a soft link from the web-server to the internal share that has your data files:
ln -s /shares/internal/PUBLIC /shares/internal/WWW/Welcome/mybook
2. Next change the lighttpd configuration file so that it allows Directory Browsing:
...
dir-listing.activate="enable"
$HTTP["url"] == "/" { dir-listing.activate="disable"}
...
3. Test that it works correctly by going to the URL https://mybook_ip/mybook/
