mkdir cannot create directory

[gandalfo]

hi

i get this messege when i try to run telnet.html from my pch.

"mkdir cannot create directory"

what does it mean?

Have you tried to run it more than once? The telnet command will only succeed the first time after each power up of the PCH. Subsequent attempts to run it will give this mkdir error.

Yes i tried to run it more then once. but now i have another problem, after power up i get this messege: "mount mounting \\169.254.65"

I have also been having a frustating time with this. If I power off the PCH and restart from scratch, I have a nice USB setup which will go straight into GBPVR and run no problem. I also have a Network Share setup which works very much the same, but without automatically going into GBPVR (files attached).

However when I power off the PCH and turn it on again, I get the script menu and when I try to go into gbpvr again (whether by Network Browser or USB) I get the dreaded:

 
mkdir cannot create directory 'etc/mvpmc' : File exists mkdir cannot create dir

Is this a share or a bad script issue? It's driving me nuts. If I could solve this, I'd be on the PCH for good now that we have comskip (thanks again Martin!). This is pretty much the only reason I use the MVP still.

That doesnt look like a valid IP address (missing a number).

Can you the contents post your script.cgi file?

Since 169.x.x.x IP addresses are assigned to the PCH when it can't find a DHCP server, I am wondering if you are trying to connect a PCH directly to your PC instead of through a router?

It looks like the content length is chopping the error off at 29 characters. Change the content length to about 60 until you can see what the error is. Then set it back when the issue is resolved.

i am trying to connect the pch directly to my pc (i don't have a router).

changed to 60 characters, now i get this messege:
" mount mounting \\169.254.65.8\mvpmc on /etc/mvpmc/ failed cp cannot stat '/etc/mvpmc/***** o such file or directory /opt/sybhhtpd localhost dr "

script.cgi:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 60"; 
echo "Content-type: text/html"; 
echo ""; 

cd ~
mkdir /etc/mvpmc
mount -t cifs //169.254.65.8/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=guest,ro;
cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin;
utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 & 
ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............"; 
exit 0;

thanks a lot for all your help

Cannot stat is file not found so the share is not connecting maybe they aren't in the same subnet? I would try and assign a static IP to both your PC and to your PCH models something like this.

PC 192.168.1.1
PCH 192.168.1.2
