OpenWRT LuCI GUI with UHTTPD using HTTPS: Difference between revisions

Line 91:

Forget about installing or configuring access to the LuCI GUI with the LuCI GUI. How, oh how can it be configured to work?

* Go back up to the top and read the part about installing the luci-ssl-openssl package. Make sure it is installed.

* Restart the UHTTPD service and it will generate the proper SSL certificate, etc.

Here's why the GUI is a bit misleading: There are two buttons that prompt one to "Select file". What it doesn't say is that the "Remove old certificate and key" Button will not work reliably unless the above information is configured in the /etc/config/uhttpd file.

Wait! What about the configuration file? Yes, that will be deleted too. Solution? Command line prompt, remove UHTTPD, reinstall UHTTPD. This of course assumes one has command line prompt access to the router. But that's easy. If you're reading this, you probably already know how. If you don't, it's new and might be scary, but it's easy. Relax.
