| + | ====== MESHdesk troubleshooting tips ====== | ||
| + | * These tips might help you troubleshoot the mesh networks you deployed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---------------------- | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Did the node contact the back-end ===== | ||
| + | * To check if the node is making contact with the back-end you can run a **tail -f** on the Web server's access log file | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | * Here we see one of the nodes contacted the back-end as a gateway | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | 17.8.20.18 - - [17/Aug/2015:04:01:04 -0400] "GET /cake2/rd_cake/nodes/get_config_for_node.json?mac=E8-DE-27-DD-4F-E8&gateway=true HTTP/1.1" 200 6060 "-" "curl/7.38.0" | ||
| + | |||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | --------------------------- | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== What did the back-end say? ===== | ||
| + | * You can now use that as reference and query the back-end in the same manner to investigate the reply from the back-end. | ||
| + | * We suppose our server is http://rd01.wificity.asia. The URL will this be: http://rd01.wificity.asia/cake2/rd_cake/nodes/get_config_for_node.json?mac=E8-DE-27-DD-4F-E8&gateway=true | ||
| + | * Here is the return data our server gave the node: | ||

| + | ===== SSH into the device ===== | ||
| + | * You should also be able to connect to the gateway node through ssh. | ||
| + | * The gateway node is a DHCP client and you should thus be able to pick it's IP address up from the DHCP server which seed it (Usually a DSL router). | ||
| + | * The username is root and the password is the same as the password that you specify for the mesh under the mesh's common settings (The admin password) | ||
