So I have been following along as I am also new and trying to get my PiGate up on e tower. After making the changes as shown below, I get a different error.

Error:

Hate to hijack, but does anyone know the port and address LinBPQ uses to update the BPQ and CHAT map? My DMZ is locked down and i need to open these up for LinBPQ.

Cheers

One of my locals (kn4orb) is writing a Raspberry PI Python program which interfaces with CHAT. ?He's telnetting from a Python app on the Raspberry PI to pilinbpq on the same PI to address 127.0.1.1 and port 8011. ?He gets to the node and then connects to CHAT. ?After that the Python program does commands periodically in an attempt to keep the connection from timing out. ?The telnet session receives and sends from/to chat. ? The dialogs seem to work but it still seems to disconnect after 2 hours, reliably. ?There was an exchange moments before the disconnect this time. ?is there anything specific we need to do to keep telnet from timing out??

He gets this on the python side "raise EOFError, 'telnet connection closed' EOFError: telnet connection closed”

BTW, we have another Python app connecting through the TNC2 API to CHAT and with similar command exchanges it stays up for months at a time.?

Most recently we tried to send /s callsign ?messages to another local log-in to CHAT in order to keep CHAT from timing out. ? Maybe it isn’t CHAT which is timing out? ?Is there a Telnet Port parameter which sets a timeout and has a 2 hour default?

?Thanks

Sorry to everyone,? I am extremely new to all this.

It seem my issue was that after a reboot or a restart I have to start the service again.???

1.)?? BPQ32 Node
(start the service running)

Web Management Interface.

cd linbpq
./linbpq

PAT is the LINUX winlink client
2.)? pat configure
pat http?? (start the service running)


Need help, need to learn how to have both services running and automatic restart on a raspberrypi reboot
.... arrrrr !!!!
