Entware-ng on NAS326 (3rd party zypkgs)

alfaalfa

I'm newbie here. I wanted to install Entware-ng using Meta Repository. Unfortunately after installation I was not able to use it normally. I have to do manually after each reboot:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin
export PATH

Then it seems to work. My question to you guys is: where/how to place a script in order to run these commands on boot. I have tried to put a shell script in /i-data/.system/zy-pkgs, but it seems not to be executed there. In system (e.g /etc/profile) folders its impossible to edit/save files. Probably a script to modify /etc/profile on boot is a better choice, but again, where/how to place it? Thank you in advance for help!

You should install package profile-hook . It should be installed at setup, but maybe the server was not accessible?

You need to check this two files:

/opt/etc/init.d/S99ProfileHook

/opt/etc/profile

In the /opt/etc/profile file you should have a line:

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH

Thanks kempiude for the prompt reply! 
/opt/etc/profile contains this line. As for /opt/etc/init.d/S99ProfileHook, I have no such file. What should be a content of it? Could you paste yours? Many thanks!

Thanks, Mijzelf!!! It turns out I was following an old tutorial and using your old repository. Placing a new repository in web_prefix file and reinstall solved this issue.

I'm also newbie here. I've spent a lot of time searching forum & use Google too but no result. I hope it's most appropriate place for this problem (without start new discussion of course).

After installation on NAS326 firmware V5.21(AAZF.4) package urbackup-server 2.3.8 from the newest Entware-ng and command:

urbackupsrv -u admin run

I can see only

ERROR: Unable to change logfile ownership
ERROR: Cannot get uid and gid of user "admin" -1. Errno: 2

but "admin" user exists in the system

cat /etc/passwd | grep "admin"

shows

admin:x:501:500:type&admin:/home/shares:/bin/sh

I have got line

ARGS="-u admin run --daemon"

instead of

ARGS="run --daemon"

in

/opt/etc/init.d/S60urbackup-server

but result is the same: urbackup start failed.

I have no clue what should be changed to make urbackup alive.

Thank you in advance for any solution!

When you install Entware-ng on a firmware 5 device (or actually on an Armv7 device), Entware-ng is at install automatically upgraded to Entware. One of the differences is that Entware uses /opt/etc/passwd and /opt/etc/shadow. (Alternative install vs. standard install)

So I think you are done if you create symlinks to /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group in /opt/etc/

Simple, elegant and effective solution (I should developed it on documentation basis but I haven't - the devil’s in the detail).
Thank you for your quick help and all hard work for ZyXEL users community.
