Connecting to Jaspers temp network from computer?

[PJBentham]

"After connecting to Jasper’s temporary network, browse to 192.168.1.1:8000/cgi-bin/index.cgi and follow the on-screen instructions. When complete, your Jasper will restart and connect to your selected wireless network automatically."

How do I connect to the temporary network, my computer will not load "192.168.1.1:8000/cgi-bin/index.cgi"? I have tried 2 wifi dongles, Edimax & TP-Link and has success with neither. I did the quick start but on having problems also followed the setting up wifi guide to ensure everything was correct...

Had the same problem and did a few things to troubleshoot and then gave up and put my wireless info in manually. I'll tell you about what I did:

Be sure that your computer is getting a dhcp IP address by pinging 192.168.1.1. If you can't ping then dhcp might not be working. Watch the rPi during startup and/or check /var/log/syslog for errors.

I also thought it was strange that /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf refers to 192.168.1.1 while etc/udhcpd.conf refers to 192.168.42.X so I changed them both to 192.168.42.X.

If all else fails you can also manually fill in wireless details into networks.yml, ~/jasper/boot/connect.txt, and /etc/network/interfaces.

~/jasper/boot/networks.yml should look like this:
SSID : your_wireless_network_name
KEY: your_wireless_network_password
[]

And ~/jasper/boot/connect.txt should look like this:
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "your_wireless_network_name"
wpa-psk "you_wireless_network_password"

Then copy ~/jasper/boot/connect.txt to /etc/network/interfaces using the following command:
sudo cp ~/jasper/boot/connect.txt /etc/network/interfaces

And reboot and Jasper will work!

Thanks for that alternative suggestion. I'm not sure what could be the original problem, but this work-around should configure the wireless for now.

I managed to get the 192.168.1.1 up and running and it spat out this, I tried a clean install too...:

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

/home/pi/jasper/boot/app/cgi-bin/index.cgi in ()
