Can’t connect to airnav server

[daisy232232]

Hi all, I’m having problems with RadarBox on my raspberry pi, I’ve installed it but it won’t connect to the servers! I’m using Adsbex image and have Flightradar24 and flightaware also plane finder all running and they run fine, just can’t get RadarBox running and it’s all installed, I’ve been trying for days and I’m going out of my head

Oh I’ve already got a sharing key btw this is a reinstall

I have very little Linux knowledge but your ini file looks ok

As its a re-install presumably it was working ok previously

Hopefully abcd567 comes along and offers his expertise but in the meantime see if anything on this thread assists, especially from Reply 4 https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?topic=106511.0

I hope so

[abcd567]

Try this:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update 

sudo apt install netbase   

sudo reboot   


After reboot, check status

Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl status rbfeeder 


.

[daisy232232]

I’ve run them all netbase is already installed and the output is data sent 2.2kb data received 0.0kb it’s like it just won’t connect to the servers

[abcd567]

Did you receive key by email?

Check if you are using correct and complete (all 32 characters) key in file /etc/rbfeeder.ini.

Better copy-paste key from email to file /etc/rbfeeder.ini, taking care that you copy all 32 characters of the key and no character at start or end of the key is left-out while copying.

Dont bother about station number sn=EXTRPIxxxxxx. It will be automatically saved in the file /etc/rbfeeder.ini if key is correct and connection to RB24 server is established.

[daisy232232]

Yep done all that and it still doesn’t work

[abcd567]

This seems issue with Radarbox24 Servers. Please send email to support

[pedrão18]

What is the output of the following command?

Code: [Select]

sudo ping mlat1.rb24.com
And of the this?

Code: [Select]

sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf

I had same problem on my all 5 RPi for last 4 days. I contacted Radarbox24 Support yesterday and they referred my case to RB24 Software Developer, and my problem was promptly resolved today (within 24 hrs)  :)


(1) I sent email to support:

Off-line since last 3 days

sudo journalctl -u rbfeeder -b

Sorry for the delay, we have passed this to the developers to check why its being blocked.

(5) I replied:

Thank you Alex.

In addition to Station EXTRPI000008, my other two Stations EXTRPI000035 and EXTRPI000036 on my two other RPi are also facing the same problem.

All 3 Stations were working OK for several years. The problem has started only few days ago.

(6) Support replied:

Are you able to restart your router and get a different IP address assigned, in case its blocking due to your IP.

AirNav RadarBox Support

(7) I replied:

I noted down IP address, then powered-off the router, kept it off for 15 minutes, then powered it up. Checked IP address, it was same as before. Seems my Service Provider hasgiven me a fixed IP address.

Checked all 3 RB24 stations, all were shown off-line.

I believe that the issue stemmed from the deployment of a new version of the website and some issues including this one only showed up once the new website was deployed.  I also passed an issue that I was advised of which was fixed timeously

The way the issues were fixed shows that it is important to contact support when they arise.
This allows them to decide if they need to pass to the development team for investigation and correcting.

Has the issue reappered?  I was logged in with my windows s/w and flightstick.  Did a database upgraded and restarted software.  Now can't get past the log on screen.  Checked my log in details on the Radarbox24 web page and can get in there.  So my ID is ok. Backed up by system Reinstalled sw into clean dir and still stops at the login screen. both manual log in and automatic.
