[SOLVED] Remote config

[mli]

Hello,

I have tried to install Porteus by using a config located on a shared drive, but with no luck.


Here is what I have tried/verified:
The config file is in the correct UTF
Read the documentation, but did not find a solution
Tried accessing the file both on the shared drive and a hosted config on the web.

Also I tried to just create a kiosk, then save that configuration to make sure it was in the correct format.
But I couldn't read my usb on the kiosk pc (The usb Is FAT formatted, so it should be compatible).

Sample Config:
kiosk_config=http://mli1234/kioskcfg.txt
homepage=http://mypage.com
whitelist=mypage.com
disable_navigation_bar=yes


Edit 1: Improved documentation and description of my post.

Hi mli,

Shared drive wont work, config must be hosted on http server or Porteus Kiosk Server.

1) Can you access the config using the browser? Does it open when you enter its URL in the address bar?

2) Are you using this config for one time installation or for remote management? If remote management then you need to have this parameter in your remote config:
kiosk_config=http://mli1234/kioskcfg.txt

3) For loading the config from usb stick please watch this video:

Hello Fanthom,

Apparently this config which I had already tried now works.
