shellinabox - issue #287

Wrong version being installed from repository


Posted on Jun 5, 2015 by Happy Ox

I am running a fresh install of CentOS and added the proper repos to find shellinabox. When I do "yum install shellinabox", it finds x86_64 and it is version 2.14. However, after installing that package, access the web page, and right-click and About, the version is 2.10. Why is version 2.14 not installing?

Version in shellinabox code was not properly updated... You are in fact running correct package, don't worry :)

Thanks for the note. However, white on black isn't enabled by default and I even u commented out the line in /etc/sysconfig/shellinabox dans I don't get the option to change in the right click menu.

Did you restart shellinaboxd service? To get menu options for "white on black" (reversed) theme on centos I had to run the commands bellow. But it looks kind of weird :)

[luka@luka shellinabox]$ sudo touch /usr/share/shellinabox/black-on-white.css [luka@luka shellinabox]$ sudo service shellinaboxd restart

For info touch command just crates an empty file, because otherwise shellinabox doesn't start...
