After resolving a hardware problem, loading the latest ospi.py file, I modified my rc.local file with the above code and rebooted.
It works!
I can ssh to it via my iMac, It is running automatically, and I can control all (5) zones with the local home page.
I have 8080 as the port in the rc.local file, however I am still not able to get the Web app to work.
When I go to http://rayshobby.net/apps/sprinklers, the app opens but I am unable to add a new device when using my IP addr 71.85.xxx.xxx:8080. After I hit the Submit button I keep getting, “IP Check IP/port and try again”.
Port 80 is forwarded on my router (and as I read in above posts, it being used by apache by default) so I am thinking that is the port the local OpenSprinkler web page is using.
It has gotta be something simple at this point to get it running??
