I have a working system that I want to use to produce a "Real Time" webpage.
The current system monitors a solar system via serial link from Inverter to a Linux PC. This in turn, using socket programming sends this data every few seconds to a 2nd Linux PC, which writes said data into a file on a USB attached HDD and there lies the problem.
I have Apache2 running on this 2nd machine but would like to create a real time web page showing the current situation with the solar system. I have created the page in HTML, calling Ajax which in turn calls either a C or PHP program to retrieve data from aforementioned text file on the USB attached HDD. namely in a folder called /media/pi/MyPassport/Axpert but both programs fail with due to permission error.
How do I solve this?
Of course, the other way would be to retrieve the data from the aforementioned socket program using Javascript or some such but how? |

Change the permissions of that mount or change the ower / group that apache is able to access that mount. |
