Manual Install - cant find files

Pepsimax09

Hi all,

I just bought a couple of DM500s clones from china. I am new to linux so I thought I'd start in the cheap end to see if this is of interest. I have flashed the boxes with Gemini 4.2, cause it is said to be clone safe. I have also been able to configure sats and channel setup. So far so good.

Now I want to be able to use my CD card. I have tried to FTP the files (newcs mgcamd & evocamd combo) to the DB but when I try to manually install them via blue panel the files don't show... The file ends with .bz2 any suggestions?

Never mind, ftp'ed from Windows PC instead of Mac and all is sweet.

You can normally ftp an unzipped file (e.g. a plugin or cam) to /tmp and do a manual install from the Blue Panel.

If I ftp .zip or .rar the files are not shown in tmp folder. I got my Can Digi work fine with newcs/mgcamd.

Now I wanted to try CCcam on a different box but cant install. Have tried to put CCcam.pcp in /var/bin and CCcam.conf in var/etc but don't seem to do much different. Any ideas? Am I using wrong file format or what?

Once again I was not using the correct files or format.... go figure

Got everything working with CCcam now and CS on a temp Lan. Next task is to get a more permanent network up n running, then CS. I am struggeling a bit with network connections but will read some more on this forum before I start bugging y'all with questions.
