Tutorial - Ubuntu Server 11.10, 12.xx, 13.04 x32/x64 - Auto Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 Install

Automated Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 Install Package For Ubuntu Server 11.10, 12.xx & 13.04 x32/x64

Scripts Cleaned & Updated 2014-03-25

Updated oscam to latest (#9584 at time of upload)
The last release (Version #8917 had a problem with updating vide0guard cards (including slyuk) through cccam proto)

Anybody with oscam #8917 versions, replace your oscam bin located at /usr/local/bin with this file:
for x32 system:
oscam svn9584 x32.rar
for x64 system:
oscam svn9584 x64.rar
Then chmod 755 the file with this command:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/oscam

Scripts Cleaned & Updated 2013-09-14

Updated oscam to latest (#8917 at time of upload)
Removed the need to edit the script, so its just a matter of copying the install pack to /tmp, chmod the script & run
Renamed cccam binary to cccam_2.1.3 to avoid crontab issues with the cccam checkscript (Thank you YamaR6 for pointing this out)

Scripts Cleaned & Updated 2013-09-08

Introduced Auto Detection for x86 or x64 OS, the script will now install the correct package based on OS Version (This should eradicate all the wrong version installs)
I have Automated Script even further so no user interaction is needed during the script!  (Start the script, have a cuppa and cccam/oscam is up & running within 5 mins)
revised rc.local so cccam starts 30 seconds after oscam (Sorry Guys, this was missed somewhere along the line while updating package)
Added nightly backup to the script so all your cccam/oscam configs are backed up @ midnight

Scripts Cleaned & Updated 2013-09-02

Updated oscam to latest version (8891 at time of uploading)
Included Simplebuild in the script so you can build your own oscam.
Removed proftpd from auto install.
Updated CCcam.channelinfo & CCcam.prio.
Added latest oscam.srvid & oscam.services to the script (oscam.srvid for 0963 only, too many services error with all sats) mainly for People who want to switch to oscam only.
Cleaned up some Syntax errors in LogCleanUp.sh
updated x32 scripts (Few errors pointed out by Fano)
Removed dummy reader from oscam.server (It was causing problems with latest versions of oscam)
changed cccam/oscam restarts, updates & cleanups from 3.56am to 6.56am.

Tested & Working on:

Ubuntu Server 11.10 amd64 & x32
Ubuntu Server 12.xx amd64 & x32
Ubuntu Server 13.04 amd.64
(I am sure it would work on older releases also if repositories are updated, I did not have time to test with 9,10 & 11.04)

What you will Need:

1.. Any PC (Preferably form Pentium 4 up)
2.. Ubuntu Server 12 or 13 (x86 /amd-64-Bit)
3.. Blank DVD
4.. PuTTY
5.. WinSCP
6.. >>Updated<<2014-03-25 - cccam-oscam Ubuntu x32-x64.rar

I have modified & updated the original script written by Youknowwho (R.I.P), to work with Ubuntu amd64.
I have tested this numerous times with no problems at all on two Desktop PC's, a laptop & VM Workstation.
This Script installs OSCAM 1.20-unstable_svn build #8905 (Compiled with all Omnikey & Smartreader Support) & cccam 2.1.3 (x32 & x64 compatable)
After final Reboot the oscam/cccam webif's are up and running.
Tip: Follow all the steps (including updates & other steps that you might be tempted to skip)

Quote

NOTE1: If you are upgrading from a working cccam/oscam setup, make sure to backup all your cccam configs. i.e.
/var/etc
cccam.cfg

Quote

NOTE2: If you are installing on a vps or machine that was not setup with initial user, edit this line in CCcamOscamInstall.sh
from:

Code

OWNER=$(grep 1000:1000: /etc/passwd|cut -f1 -d':')

to this:

Code

OWNER=root

Step 1.. Install Ubuntu Server 11.10, 12.xx or 13.04 (x32/x64) on your PC/Server following all the steps below.

Select Install Ubuntu Server
Then Select your Language Location & Keyboard Layout

Select your hostname for your PC (This can be anything you like) e.g. ubuntu

Enter your Full Name

Type your username (First name by default)
Then Type your password & Re-Type your password

Select <NO> for Encrypt your home Directory)

in Partitioning Method, Select <Use Entire Disk>

Select your Disk & Hit return

Select <Yes> under Write the changes to disks

Just Hit return on this screen if you dont use HTTP proxy

Select <No automatic updates>

Only select OpenSSH server by pressing the spacebar then hit return.
All the software needed will be installed with the autoscript.

Select <Yes> to install GRUB to the master boot record...
Remove the CD & click continue to reboot the Server

Thats it, your now finished the Ubuntu Install..

Step 2.. Prepairing Ubuntu for the automated Script.

For these Steps make sure your PC is connected to the Router (Preferably Wired connection)
We now have to set up a static IP address so we can use Putty & WinSCP to FTP files & execute Terminal commands Remotely.
From my experiences with Ubuntu , I NEVER set a static IP in Network Interfaces.
I log into my router (192.168.*.*) and within my Lan Setup I can view connected Devices.
In connected Devices establish which device is your Server & Write down the MAC Address
Now go to Pre-Assigned DHCP IP Addresses and Put in your Server MAC Address & the IP address you want (e.g. 192.168.1.50)
Click on Add Static IP Address or Apply or whatever it might be on your Router!
Restart the Server & when it's back up, It will have a static IP Address reserved by the router without you having to configure anything in Ubuntu.

Now we are going to log into the server with putty

Jyst type the Static IP Adress of your Server & hit Open,

Log in with your username & password

Now Enter these lines to set up a root account

sudo passwd root

Enter your password
Then Enter your new root password
Enter your new root password again to confirm

sudo reboot

Step 3.. Install oscam/cccam autoscript.

Now log into your Server with WinSCP as root user

On the left hand side, Browse to the "CCcam Oscam Ubuntu 64-Bit" Folder
On the right, browse to <root>/tmp folder

Select both "cccamoscam_install_package" Folder & CCcamOscamInstall.sh and copy them to tmp folder

chmod the Script with this command

chmod 755 /tmp/CCcamOscamInstall.sh

Run the Script with this command

/tmp/CCcamOscamInstall.sh

The Script reboots the machine.

When the PC Starts up will have OScam & CCcam Installed
You can check your oscam Webif page by typing your server ip & oscam webif port no. (192.168.*.*:8888) in the address bar of your browser.
Username: admin
Password: admin

You can check your cccam Webif page by typing your server ip & cccam webif port no. (192.168.*.*:16001) in the address bar of your browser.
Username: admin
Password: admin

Quote

To check or change your oscam webif password & port number, open up WinSCP & log into server as root & look in
usr/local/etc/oscam.conf

Code

[webif]
httpport = [COLOR='#FFFF00']8888[/COLOR]
httpuser = [COLOR='#00FF00']<strong>admin</strong>[/COLOR]
httppwd = [COLOR='#00FF00']<strong>admin</strong>[/COLOR]

To check or change your cccam webif password & port number, open up WinSCP & log into server as root & look in
var/etc/cccam.cfg

Code

WEBINFO USERNAME :[COLOR='#00FF00']<strong>admin</strong>[/COLOR]
WEBINFO PASSWORD :[COLOR='#00FF00']<strong>admin</strong>[/COLOR]
WEBINFO LISTEN PORT : [COLOR='#FFFF00']16001[/COLOR]

What ever you use, remember it & when you log into the oscam/cccam webif's, BOOKMARK them so they are there for good!

Now all you have to do Is configure your cccam.cfg and oscam configs to suit your setup & card readers.
The version of oscam in this script is the latest version, compiled with full support for all Card readers.

NOTE: If you install an older (Stable) Version of oscam only to find that it is not starting with the server it is most likely because it is referencing libssl0.9.8.
To Fix this just run command below:

apt-get install libssl0.9.8

On completion of this tutorial you will have a Ubuntu Server with cccam/oscam up and running, but you will still need to follow tutorials to configure:

Thank you for this super nice and easy guide :) just so super!! Only one question...you say this is the latest oscam with full support for all card readers, do you mean the latest STABLE VERSION or UNSTABLE VERSION of Oscam?? (i am asking because we have some problems with using the 1.20 version right now in our group -it's lacking quite often). Regards...

Its this version of Oscam:
OSCAM 1.20-unstable_svn build #7149

but its pretty easy to swap versions after install m8, just follow step by step guide in post 3 of this thread using your preferred version of oscam..
http://linuxsat-support.com/li…ntu-server.html#post52984

get the right version of oscam for your setup using this great tool:
Includes Stable version (oscam-1.10rc-svn6481-x86_64-pc-linux-pcsc-libusb)
http://linuxsat-support.com/os…ollection-gianni8127.html

See note at bottom of tut if stable version of oscam fails to start with Server:

Quote

NOTE: If you install an older (Stable) Version of oscam only to find that it is not starting with the server it is most likely because it is referencing libssl0.9.8.
To Fix this just run command below:

Code

apt-get install libssl0.9.8

I personally had to upgrade oscam svn 7015 because the version that came with the script did not show my cards entitlements i do run ubuntu 32 bit but im sure you can get a version for 64 bit

No need to look for 64 bit version of oscam for this Auto-install, the version that's setup with the autoscript is compiled for 64Bit and works straight off the bat!

Good Luck

Glad to hear your cccam/oscam server is up n running m8.. thats a good 95% of the hard work done. Because there are 5 or 6 popular readers, I did not include that in the setup.. You will need to start a new thread if you have any problems setting up your smargo...

Here is a link to a tut by Ten Below that I used to setup my smargo..
http://linuxsat-support.com/li…l-smargo-smartreader.html

try that first and if you have any problems start a thread for support outlining what steps your stuck on etc..

To answer a few questions:

dm500 is starting to playup and lockup so time for a change..

With your DM500 you will always be limited by the hardware & occasionally problems that arise from day to day using box as server & sat box..

Quote

Ive followed this tut from start to finish with absolutly zero problems (might i say really easy to follow for a real noob like me so many thanks) and i am now the proud owner of a P4 3.4GHz, with 160gb hard drive and 2gb of ram running Ubutu 12.04 server and oscam/cccam 2.13
so, the easy part out of the way thanks to the tut, what to do now... I have a brand new Smargo reader and a s*y uk white card but am still unsure what my next step is...

Believe it or not m8, that was the hard bit.. No matter what goes wrong now, your server is set up! You just have to install smargo using Tens tut above.. Then you will need to test your F:lines & Clines before transfering everything over to your dedicated server, freeing up your DM500 for viewing pleasure only..

Quote

is Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit - Automated Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 a suitable choice for replacing my dm500

Yes, I have been running 12.04 for a month and I see a noticable improvement over 10.04 x32 & a huge improvement over using the Dreambox as a server.

So give above a go and start up a thread to resolve whatever issues you have left. I have the same card so I would be able to give you a dig out with settings etc..

Good luck m8

Having a wee play with this. But when I log into my router I can't see the linux PC. It is also wired to the router.
Do I need to install samba?

Thanks

Thats pretty strange..
1.. Check the cable with your laptop to rule out that.
2.. Was your server connected to the router during Ubuntu Setup & Install? If so, the ethernet card drivers & DHCP settings should have been automatically configured.
3.. Have you made any changes to the networking settings in Ubunty?

OK m8, In the tut above I suggested not touching the /etc/network/interfaces and to give the static IP within the router settings.

Quote

From my experiences with Ubuntu , I NEVER set a static IP in Network Interfaces.

Your problem is within your hostname & networking settings. Since you assigned your static IP address from within Ubuntu, you have one or the other or both setup incorrectly.

For a quick fix, Revert back to DHCP instead of static within /etc/network/interfaces and set the static IP address within your router.

As this problem is not related to the Auto Install, Please start a new thread for support.

can you do script for 32 bit PC and possibly a tutorial like this

cheers
kabise

Here is the 32bit version of this script for Ubuntu 12.04...
Removed, see post #1

And download 32 Bit version of Ubuntu Server from here... (Select 32 Bit in "Choose your flavour" pull down menu)
Removed, see post #1

Tested on clean install 32 Bit 12.04, follow the tut above.

good Luck

cheers mate,this looks cs studio looks helpful,well impressive bit of kit.

CS Studio is a great app but you will need static ip setup before you can use that too..

Quote

dont know if i should just go get the lot and set up from home i have vm 20mpbs and relitive has sly with probs much less. meant to ask about the internet speeds and what impact it has on the home network.

Card sharing has virtually no impact on your broadband usage, I never measured it but I know from what I have read that you are sending minute packets of data. If you are concerned, you might want to restrict your other machines to using about 90-95% of your broadband. This will mean that no matter what you are downloading, there will be some broadband left for cccam.

Quote

Someone suggested post screenshots of the settings, this would be your best way forward

I agree, If you post screenshots of your LAN Setup & DHCP settings within your router setup, we will figure out how to set a static IP address..

Good Luck..

Hi

How would I change the reboot to once a week instead of 4am every night, is it the crontab method?

Would like it to reboot at 5am on Saturday.

Here is the crontab located at (/etc/crontab) generated by this auto install..

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.




SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
