Hi All,
I have had really good success with setting up one computer, using an Ethernet connection, so that Porteus Kiosk loads only one specific web page (in Firefox).
However I am now trying to setup a second computer using a Wi-Fi connection and I am running into a strange challenge. The Porteus Kiosk installation goes fine, however when the computer loads and presents Firefox it shows the message 'Access Denied'. I have installed Porteus Kiosk twice on this computer and in each instance the same behaviour is presented...
During setup I enter the following URL into both the Home Page, and White List sections -
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm= ... 1GGw%3d%3d
However when Porteus Kiosk loads, and presents Firefox it shows the following URL in the address bar!
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=m4XP7PRbwDnC6oRmia1GGw%3d%3d
It looks like r/ is replacing s.aspx in the URL but as I mentioned earlier this only appears to be happening when I try to use the Wi-Fi configuration.
If anybody has any suggestions on how remedy this issue can you please share?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

I'm 99% sure that wifi has nothing to do with changing the homepage URL.
perhaps you have made a typo during installation?
please double check
btw: i have moved your thread to kiosk section of the forum

Re: Incorrect characters are being substituted into my URL?
I'm not ASP.NET programmer, but after quick glance I came to conclusion it is normal behavior for browsers to resolve absolute paths for websites when processing .aspx scripts.
As example: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/142 ... et-beginne
If you have direct access to surveymonkey.com server and site then you could look into s.aspx code.

Not sure what the problem is, both links work for me using Firefox and a WiFi connection.Mr Davo wrote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm= ... 1GGw%3d%3d
