Rachel Recovery usb

Musilwa1 · November 20, 2017, 2:39pm

i managed to restore rachel version 1 using the recovery disk.
Everything is fine apart from KA lite and wikipedia which cannot run.On checking the files on media/rachel i see all files present.What is stopping KA lite and wikipedia from running ?

Hi Musilwa1,

I understand after USB recovery, KA Lite and Wikipedia do not run. I am happy to assist in resolving this issue. I have a few initial basic questions to help me get started:

When you access Rachel from your web browser, do you see the KA Lite & Wikipedia modules listed?
If you login-in as Admin, do you see the modules there (and they are not checked as hidden)?
When you say you see the files on the media, are you referring to one of the two methods that I listed above, or did you access the Linux filesystem to view the module list from there?

Thank you,

Steve

HI Steve thanks,
I can see Rachel modules listed from the browser,the adm password is not working so i cant log in.
I used linux ,the kiwix files can be seen when you use Linux or WINSCP to log onto the CAP.

Hi Musilwa1,

Both of these modules have a script which run at the end of the initial module install. You may try to reinstall the modules on-line. If you do not have access to the internet or the download speed is too slow, you may run a script for each KA Lite and Wiki modules manually. You will need to access the Linux command line on the Rachel device, using ssh and going to “/media/RACHEL/rachel/modules/” within this directory, you will find sub-directories for all of your installed modules. one should be “en-kalite” and within this dir, you will find a file called finish_install.sh (execute this file “./finish_install.sh” (don’t forget the leading dot “.” and exclude the quotes). This should reinitialize your module to the kalite application/DB. As for Wiki, go to “en-wikipedia” and you will find a file called rachel-kiwix-init.php (execute this file “php rachel-kiwix-init.php” (excluding the quotes)). Finally, reboot and retry accessing the modules.

If for any reason this doesn’t work, run the following three commands and send me the output.

lsof -Pnl +M -i4
service kalite status
service kiwix status

Thank you,

Steve

Hi Steve, do we receive the recovery USB when we purchase Rachel??

No. But we offer recovery images on-line.
