SmartHome doesn’t seem to allow me access to the entire configuration folder, i.e. it is possible to open openhab2-conf\items and use these files, but it isn’t possible to open both an items file and any other file at the same time, e.g. a rules file.
To open the rules file I have to open openhab2-conf\rules in the configurations tab - this then closes any open files e.g. items files.
Am I doing something wrong or is this by design?
Note opening openhab2-conf folder effectively just gives a blank screen, i.e. nothing in configuration tab.
“openhab2-conf” sounds as if you are using the debian package. I don’t have experience with that, maybe there is something special about access rights or something like that?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’m using a Raspberry Pi. I have been using openhab1 for about 18 months and am now working on getting openhab2 fully operational.
The behavior is strange. After playing I have found a solution which works:
If I use a samba share on /etc, then I can browse to openhab2 and get:
But if use the samba share for /etc/openhab2 (the same directory) I get:
The sambe share for etc looks like:
[etc]
comment = etc
path = /etc
browseable = Yes
writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
public = no
force user = root
While the samba conf entry for openhab2-conf looks like:
[openHAB2-conf]
comment=openHAB2 site configuration
path=/etc/openhab2
browseable=Yes
writeable=Yes
only guest=no
public=no
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
force user = root
