Hi, I'm new to hostapd and now I'm trying to run hostapd_cli which after 2 days of tracing the error, now I know that its problem is in wpa_ctrl_open2 when it's going to connect the socket. connect return -1 and sets the errno to 111 which is apparently connection refused. to reach where I'm now, I have made a directory named hostapd in var/run and made an empty file name aniss.tmp and now running the cli using this command: sudo ./hostapd_cli -s /var/run/hostapd. before doing these, I had some other errors. Btw, it's still showing me the error: couldn't connect to hostapd - re-trying Is there anything I should do before just running the hostapd_cli? _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
