fhem web front end install, help needed

[tommyboy]

I have managed to get fhem server running in windows xp, I have Checked the log file and the server is running.

But I can't for the life of me get the front end installed

Am using strawberry perl, and I have gone into cmd and tried


make install-pgm2

But get can't open perl script "make" no such file or directory


Anyone able to give some advice how I can do this, I am at a dead end

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have read that, it basically details how to install fhem and get it running

I have managed this, it is simple trying to get the web front end installed that i am having a problem with

I know this is an old thread but as you never got a second reply did you get sorted Tommy? I have the web front end running on a Win2k box but can't for the life of me figure out why I can get graphs displayed..

Hi NickC
I have just ordered the FHZ1300 to ad to my system.

4 zones two rads per FHT8 thermostat.

Have installed FHEM and tried to start, jusst to see if I coud become familar with the layout. When connecting with http://localhost:8083/fhem .. it asks for a password, I cannot find any reference to a defualt password. Did have similar problem ? if not do you know the default password ?

Guys try this in your config txt file

define WEB FHEMWEB 8083 global

Then in your browser open you local IP, with :8083 at the end.

Heres the best guide I found to setting it up.

Hi Thanks for that allows FHEM to start up. But uncovers another problem. Do not get connection to FHZ1300

define initialUsbCheck notify global:INITIALIZED usb create
If I use the above get the following in the log
2013.01.26 09:44:42 3: initialUsbCheck return value: This command is not yet supported on windows

If I try
define FHZ FHZ /dev/USB0

fhem does not start and get the following error
Can't locate win32/Serailport.pm

There is no directory win32 or file Serailport.pm

So I am at a bit of a loss, any help appreciated

Running on Windows 7 and strawberry perl

hi some further info

It would appear requires a virtual comport. In the properties for the eLV fhz1300 driver in device manager, in the advance properties set the check box load VCP. Which creates a virtual comport. But the drivers are missing for Virtual Comport. Tried search for drivers in VCP no joy timed out.

Searching found a link http://wiki.nethome.nu/doku.php/fhz1000pc which gives link to http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm which appears to be the chip manufacturer. Download their drivers but still did not install.
Way beyond my abilities to get FH1300 working

if I make any head way will keep you updated

Read the article I posted above in full again.

It will explain how to test if the device is working, and when it is working under windows, it will tell you how to install the serial port in perl.

Fon,
Went thro your article, when I go to device manager there is no com port. Only shows in USB FHZ1300.

When I set fhem.cfg to

define FHZ FHZ /dev/USB0
Chnged to ActivePerl

I installed Serialport with

INSTALL>ppm install Win32-SerialPort

Don't get errors serial port could not be found now

the log shows the following errors
