[SOLVED] Remote config is not accessible
I think I have a similar problem to this poster - I've copied and saved my remote config file to our webserver, and this tests successfully during the wizard. Wi-fi connects successfully booting from the USB, but I get nothing but "Remote config is not accessible" until it gives up and boots from the local config. "kiosk_config=url" entry is in the config file and points to the right place. Where do I look next to fix this?

Re: Remote config is not accessible
Turns our our webhosting provider does not allow access to wget, which the Kiosk needs to get the config files. I've uploaded the config files to Dropbox and that seems to be working.
