New bpq32 install connection refused

A few things:
?
You stated you are using Direwolf, but your config is setup for a serial "PITNC".
For direwolf, you should be using the Network KISS options to connect your BPQ node to DireWolf.
?
Your port one for DireWolf for 2M should look more like this if DireWolf is running on the same system:
Replace the PORTNUM as needed, IP if running on another device, Port if KISS Listen on direwolf, and beacon call ?
Your DireWolf Config for 2M should look something like this after your Audio/PTT config:
?
With that out of the way, you probably need to enter the following command to allow non root users to use all ports (replace 'pi' with your pi username is different):
?
And gove the executable the right permissions:
?
I'm not familiar with the Ham stack you are running.
It may have a firewall installed you aren't aware of. ?
Try the following commands to open the ports as the root user:
sudo su
?
If the pi is in the same network as the connecting device, your router and it's forwarded ports have nothing to do with it.
NAT/ Port Forwarding is a routing/firewall function to direct traffic from one network to the port of a device on another. If your devices are on the same network (255.255.255.0/24), then the NAT is bypassed anyways as it doesn't need to happen. ?
Not to knock the people who build them, but a lot of those autoinstall config builders and install scripts put a lot of "stuff" into the config files they generate.
Things change over time, and everyone setup is different, and it just usually doesn't go well with BPQ for the config portion. If you are ever to change anything in the future, you will need to understand the config anyways.
?
"I tried browser connection to http://127.0.0.1:8010 and Telnet to 127.0.0.1 8010.? Both of these result in 'connection refused' messages."
So if you you doing this from the Pi itself it may be fine.
But if you are connecting from elsewhere, like in your previous post, you need to use the LAN address of your Pi instead of 127.0.0.1.
You can use "ip a" in a terminal to see it.
?
I recommend you just remove the LinBPQ installation, purge any systemd entries, and start from scratch.?
?
I've written a detailed guide to build your own configuration you can find here:
?
Follow along the above link, and also open:
?
That way you can build your config file, follow along and check Johns Documentation to make sure you don't need to tweak something, or add something.
Being a SysOP, I think it pays to build your own. That way you really understand what each of the lines mean and what they do.

It also looks like you might want to start from scratch, because your current version doesn't seem to initialize any of the ports for some reason. If you already changed the name of your BPQ directory to linbpq, change it to oldlinbpq so you can start over: open a new terminal for the following commands: mkdir linbpq cd linbpq wget https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/pilinbpq mv pilinbpq linbpq chmod a+x linbpq sudo setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" linbpq wget http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/HTMLPages.zip now open your file system, open linbpq, right-click on the HTMLPages.zip and select Extract Here. Then right-click on that HTMLPages folder to change the name to just HTML. Then right-click and delete the zip file. Now take your existing bpq32.cfg file and copy that into the linbpq folder. Open a new terminal and start direwolf with just: direwolf In the linbpq terminal, start linbpq with: ./linbpq |

You only need -p with direwolf if you need to create a kissattach to an axport to use a terminal with direwolf.
Not needed for bpq, as it has it's own ax stack and is just using direwolf as a TCP TNC. Just start direwolf without the -p. For that port in bpq, change that in the config to this: ;? Port 1?

Your direwolf startup shows that there is no direwolf.conf in your home directory, so you should also save the following to a text file called direwolf.conf in /home/pi/ with the following: ############################ #?

This is odd, as I wouldn't expect linbpq to start without a port definiton. It is just possible that linbpq is hanging trying to open /dev/ttyAMA0. That doesn't happen here, but it might be worth changing the config to one of the suggestions below, or remove that port temporarily, and see what happens. Direwolf can either use a TCP connection or create a pty pair that allows it to be accessed as a serial port. You can use -p to enable the serial port. You should then use /tmp/kisstnc in the COMPORT line - the pts number may vary but /tmp/kisstnc will always be symlinked to it. Alternatively you can use the TCP connection. Replace ?

It's also worth noting that John recommends changing the name of pilinbpq to linbpq before use, and naming that directory that everything is in linbpq.
"I suggest you create a directory linbpq to hold the software and files. The simplest way to download is to use wget. If you use the pi version, rename to linbpq after downloading." |

Jeff et al.:
2. On your home router, do you have ports 8008, 8010, 8011 and 10093 forwarded for the IP address of your linbpq machine? I'm a newbie to RPi and Linux and don't know if I'm doing this right but based on some other posts in another topic I tried the commands netstat, SS, and cat and in none of the reports did I see the above ports as listening. Could that mean something? Carmine, K3CWP |

Some additional things to try: Given you have vnc access, I would start a web browser on the Pi and try . Also start a terminal session and try this: telnet 127.0.0.1 8010? (no colon on the telnet line)? 73 Lee K5DAT?
