zeroshell captive portal

After a first experience in PHP, that presented some limits in respect of speed if the hotspot had to manage lots of users using "curl" hardly, I decided to realize an interface to install directly on Zeroshell, that could increase the elaboration speed and that could permit the access to others functions not available from an outside PHP . My choice was to use some cgi-bin in scripts bash, with lot of difficulties, especially to understand how the extraordinary work of Fulvio Ricciardi worked, from which I obviously copied almost everything. This is how, with some friends help of the Italian forum Zeroshell, Zerotruth was born.

Zerotruth installation needs obviously to operate from the “inside” Zeroshell, so:

1. Connect to Zeroshell trough ssh;
2. From "Select" digit "S";
3. Collocate yourself in /DB ( "cd /DB" );
4. Download the file.tar.gz trough wget or scp or...your choice;

example with "wget" and the 4.0 version ( zerotruth-4.0.tar.gz):
wget http://www.thienhashop.com/wifimarketing/zerotruth-4.0.tar.gz

5. Extract the tgz:
tar zxvf zerotruth-4.0.tar.gz

6. Enter in the created directory:
cd zerotruth-4.0

7. Let the installation begin:
./install.sh
The order does all the necessary operations.
(in the same directory you will find the script "uninstall.sh" to uninstall completely Zerotruth)
From version 1.0.beta2 upgrade to later versions can be made directly from the Zerotruth GUI.
Now connect via web to Zeroshell address and do an eventually page refresh . You will see the "choice" page that will be presented every time you will access to Zeroshell-Zerotruth.


Captive Portal Zerotruth

Choosing "Zerotruth" you will access to the login page, trough which you can manage it as administrator, with completed powers and the possibility to set up the system, or as "limited user", who will be able to use the system recording what the administrator decided. In order to access for the first time you have to: https://192.168.188.8/cgi-bin/zerotruth/index.sh (zeroshell https://192.168.100.254/indexzs.html )
