Very nice! Thank you for this!
I help you promote.

BTW, please cross post it in https://litecointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0, if you don't have a forum account there, let me know and I will do it in your stead.

I tried using it but my Miner Settings page comes up blank and I see the below error message in the logs
2014-05-05 19:53:21: (mod_fastcgi.c.2676) FastCGI-stderr: PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method Util_model::getBtcValue() in /var/www/minera/application/controllers/app.php on line 96



EDIT: Ok, I edited our this function in app.php and the page loads albeit with some errors about undefined ltc,doge, etc variables

$data['btc'] = 1;//$this->util_model->getBtcValue();

Apologize, I forgot pushing the fix.

Please ssh into minera and run:

cd /var/www/minera
sudo git reset --hard
sudo git pull

You should have the new code with the bug fix.

You can also delete the minera directory and repeat only the git clone command

Awesome, looks good! Thanks for your work.
Does Minera monitor the minerd process to ensure it stays running? I have a monitor script running on a crontab every 5 minutes, just wondering if I should leave that in place.

[michelem]

Glad you like it

I'm just finalizing it with the main stuff like an auto-recover mode, so in the meantime keep your script up and check this thread for updates.

Thanks

for some reason the web interface isnt accepting my password after a change. Is this a standard http password? or held someplace else?

I just reinstalled.

This is weird, but you can also change the pass by running this command on a terminal:

Code:

sudo redis-cli set minera_password <yournewpass>

Hello,

I've installed minera on a pcduino (ubuntu) with apache. Working, but no "hashrate history" and no "Rejected/errors"
Since php bin file was not available on my system, I installed libapache2-mod-fastcgi  ( needed by (?) php /var/www/minera/index.php app cron_stats )

output from php:
>minera@ubuntu:/var/www/minera$ php -v

Is this the correct php binary ?

Can someone help me on this?

thanks,

[highwalker]

This is an awesome effort and truly appreciated. Working great on my RPi setup.

One request for improvement would be to add ajax for dynamically and continuous update of the stats without requiring to refresh manually.

It seems the cron task is not running on your system.

Please try running from the terminal this command and check if graphs change:

Code:

php /<minera path>/index.php app cron

If changed the problem is with the cron task that's not running.

You should have a cron task like this:

Code:

*/5 *	* * *	minera	php /<minera path>/index.php app cron

Minera installs it in /etc/cron.d/minera

Let me know

PS
I just updated this you could have to run "[...] app cron_stats" instead "[...] app cron" this depends on your Minera revision

I'm working on this, it's all ready I need only some more checks. I think I will add this feature by the end of the week.

In the meantime I just updated the code with a pseudo auto-recover option.

You can find it in the settings page (you have to pull the latest code, I'm working on an auto-update too). It checks if the process exists and restarts it if not found. I will work more on this to check if the miner sends really new shares.

Thanks for the feedbacks!

This might be overkill, but I use DaemonTools to configure my mining software as a service. This solves the problem of starting the software at boot time as well as restarting it if it crashes. There are simple commands for manually starting and stopping the service. And it supports optional logging and log rotation, for those of us who find logs useful for debugging problems.

If you're interested, I posted a guide for how to use DaemonTools here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577018.0

Instead of what I did in my post, you could configure the service script to run the miner software under screen without logging (since people seem to like screen and are perhaps less interested in logging). To do that, you would run screen as attached, not detached, so that DaemonTools can detect when the process has died. And you would not run the miner in text-only mode, so that people could attach to the screen as needed and see the text GUI.

Hope this helps...

BTW, just like bfgminer it is now possible the set the frequency on the fly with cpuminer-gc3355 using the API.

Code:

{"set":"frequency", "devices":{"ttyACM0":{"chips":[825,850,875,900,850]}}}

I thought I'd mention it, since it is a feature of the Hashra controla.

this is really cool Sandor! Let me work on this to give this ability on the dashboard.

@edonkey thanks to point me there, I was thinking about a daemontools/supervisord I think I will add something like this asap.

Well, I'm really sorry I forgot to add the php5-cli package to the installer (a complete system img is absolutely needed, I will give you it asap).

Everyone, please install the php5-cli package:

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

I'm going to update the README.

My apologies, thanks.

Hello,

problem solved 

minera@ubuntu:/var/www/minera$ php5 /var/www/minera/index.php app cron runs without problems (using php I got a code list)


sudo vi /etc/cron.d/minera and replace php with php5

Thanks to sandor111 and michelem for this great software and supporting gridseed users.

rgds,
m

Very good!

Can I ask you the exact distribution you are using? php5 command should be only an alias of php on Ubuntu and Raspbian so using one or another should be indifferent, weird you get the code instead running it with "php" command, may be you have a different ini configuration file.

BTW I'm glad you like it! And I have in mind more and more cool stuff for Minera, stay tuned and spread it!
