Configure your Superglue server

Back to Getting started with your Superglue personal server
Previous step: Uploading the Superglue firmware

After you've uploaded the Superglue firmware to your device (or received a router with Superglue already installed) you can proceed to configuring your Superglue personal server.

The Superglue control panel

While connected your Superglue server's wireless network, you can access the control panel by pointing your browser at http://superglue.local/admin (default username: admin, password: changeme).

The Control panel provides the following options:

Change password
Change the username and password for the control panel.
IMPORTANT: You just logged in with the default username and password, meaning other people can do the same! Unless you change the password, others will be able to modify the contents and settings of your Superglue personal server. Change your password!

ADVANCED: Once the password has been changed you can also access your server via ssh://root@superglue.local
Configure wireless network
You can change the name of the wireless network your personal server creates (default: Superglue-xxxx) and protect it with a WPA password.
Configure network address
You can change the local IP address (default: 192.168.1.1) that gets assigned to your Superglue server.
Update firmware
Use this option to update your Superglue personal server.
Check http://dev.superglue.it/firmware regularly for new releases.
The latest version is always available via http://dev.superglue.it/firmware/latest.
NOTE: Currently your configuration will not be preserved between updates!
Reboot / Logout
Reboot your Superglue personal server, or log out from the control panel

Upcoming Superglue firmware releases will provide:

Wireless uplink configuration
Dynamic DNS configuration
USB storage device management

Having an issue that I haven't seen mentioned yet - have updated the firmware, but can't then access sg/admin - I get an Error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET. Tried with different browsers, running ethernet straight out of the wall terminal as well as from a router, switching on and off, reinstalling firmware etc. Any thoughts? It's a TP-Link TL-WR710N

It's a bug, understood there will come a new firmware asap where this problem should dissapear. Hopefully you can reach http://192.168.1.1/admin where you can later update the firmware when its announced/available.

Ah, many thanks, didn't realise the bug extended past the firmware that was shipped with the original batch of devices. Managed to log in using the link provided, thanks.

DanjaVasiliev 2015-06-11 20:12:37 UTC #17

hello, sorry I did not reply for so long. My version of firmware is 0.1.36-RC-Athina. Thank you.

Hello. I got a "password file not found" message also when I tried to change the default. Also I then unplugged the DIR-505, plugged it back in, and now no longer see superglue as an available wireless network. I used superglue-firmware_0.1.36-RC-Athina_dir505a1_initial. Should the switch on the device be set to "Router/AP"? Should there be a USB drive inserted during setup? thanks.

Hi there, just installed Superglue to DIR-505 and having a same problem, changing password returns "Password file not found". Also, could not register Superglue subdomain for any of those three options, but not quite sure if the admin panel was the place to do it? Latest version (superglue-firmware_0.1.36-RC-Athina_dir505a1_initial.bin), tried to downgrade for couple of the earlier ones, but the files were not recognized as firmwares. Web connection via the router works both wireless and wired, page editing works both Firefox and Chrome. Would be really nice to get this working outside the .local and change the password & ssh to it. Great project, I hope this don't fade out?

I'm also been getting "ERROR: Password file not found" using superglue-firmware_0.1.36-RC-Athina_dir505a1_initial.bin

I found a typo in line 17 of the admin cgi file (/opt/lib/admin/admin2.cgi)

I changed the line:
readonly _PWDFILE="/etc/lighhtpd/htpasswd"
to
readonly _PWDFILE='/etc/lighttpd/htpasswd'

(change double quotes to single, correct spelling of lighttpd).

And it seems to have fixed the problem.

Actually, a server totally depends on a router. So these upper following instructions are great. Also I always prefer to use netgear router and by browse this you will not faced any type of network lagging problem.
