Several days ago my friend called me and he asking me about EasyHotspot. The conversation went through until he told me there’s a Villa/Hotel interested to implement the EasyHotspot System. I said “sure, thats good ..” and then he asked me what devices needed to build the hotspot. After he knows the EasyHotspot requirements then he decide when to buy and implement the system.
Saturday (4 4 2008 ) is the D day … First, we bought the devices, and here they are :
- 1 PC (Celeron 3 Ghz, 512 Mb, 80 GB) , too much for EasyHotspot i think
- 2 pcs of Linksys WAP54 G
- 1 box of Tofu and Beef Roll (umm yummy …. )
After we have those devices, the best part took the place . Jakarta – Pucak took 3 hrs , 1.5 hrs trip, 0.5 hrs traffic jam, 1 hrs @ Cimory Resto
.. Cimory Resto have a nice landscape view and also their fresh milk is good !

About 700 hrs we arrived at the Hotel. The air is quite cool and fresh … what a relief …
Since Bom2 needs to get back home as soon as possible, so we need to finish the job fast and start earlier …
Before we start to workin, here’s the scenario :
We need to connect 2 main sites, Office/Lobby and The Puri Kenanga area. We decided to use WDS mode for this scenario.

This is the “history” of working guys (eastimated time):
- unload the devices – 15 min
- installing EasyHotspot – 30 min
- patching EasyHotspot (ouch!) – 2 min
- configuring the APs (it could be faster if you RTFM , LOL!) – 20 min
- testing the system – 5 min
- testing the APs range – 10 min
- placing the server and APs at the proper place – 20 min
total : 1 hr and 42 minutes
So is everything done ? ummm not yet! We haven’t train the employees yet and i think we need to add this new features :
- no simultaneous use mode
- user current status
- postpaid BW management
- logoff url
Maybe on the next saturday we could go to Cimory again ! hueheueuheu …
Now we need to go home fast !

nice job.
good job dude,..
Is it possible to get an documentation of the installation of an easyhotspot system? Do i need any special wlan router or access point? i need heeeeelp
Documentation is on the way
you don’t need any special config/router anymore because : EasyHotspot actually act as a router and you just need an AP without router feature.
gokil lo pek,,gokil dah,,gw ga bs ngomong lagi,,
tp seru jg y kt kpuncak kmr,,hehehe,,
keep on rockin master
@arigitu: kapan nih coy kita menggila lagi ? hehehe lain kali dengan mainan elo dong
halo pak rafeequl.
Easyhotspot emang top.
instalasi cukup mudah. konfigurasi rasanya ga ada yg perlu di config lagi.
kecuali…
gimana setting PPPoE ya pak ? kebetulan saya pakai speedy ni utk ADSLnya
mohon bantuannya. ntar kalau saya berhasil saya bikinnan manual (pake bhs indonesia) dan di publish ke web buat komunitas linux khususnya easyhotspot.
thank ya. atau kalau misalnya udah pernah di bahas saya mohon di berikan linknya sebab saya test cari ngga dapet di google
ps: kalo ngga bisa di sini bole via japri ga mas ? ke email saya postfix.id@gmail.com
PPPoE is Setup completely, via terminal
with pppoeconf tool. itś builtin come with the instalation.
Start from :
(Applications>Accessories>terminal)
$ su -
Password: *******
# pppoeconf
and then follow the instruction the must important thing is to input your DSL userid and password.and next if your not sure what is the answer simply just press ¨ŸES¨
voila! now you are connected to the internet.
now my problem is the client cant get IP ADDRESS automatically from the hotspot server.
i have 2 NICs on the server
eth5 : for PPPoE connection
eth3 : for LAN Connection.
i tried to give eth3 a static ip and set the DHCP interface in chilispot to eth3(from web interface). but my client still cant get the IP automatically.
i tested to gave the client a static ip but i cant login to hotspotlogin.cgi. it said (Login must be performed trhough EasyHotspot Daemon)
i hope i can solve this problem soon. and post it here. im one step closer
i promise i will write a full howto after this problem solve. (because i cant find any howto from google about my problem)

that was absolutly answer my question.
thanks for the light Mr. Rafeequl
Your welcome mr.janssen
Pengen nyoba EasyHotspot, tapi ingin tau akibatnya kalau ga ada fitur yang membatasi simultaneous use. Terimakasih sebelumnya. Cheer
Saya coba install Easy hotspot. Eth0 saya kasih ip 10.10.48.10, kemudian di config.php saya rubah jadi $config['base_url'] = “http://10.10.48.10/”; Ketika saya coba browsing dari subnet 10.10.48.x koq ga bisa ya. Apa yang harus saya cek ya, atau memang diblok. Terima kasih sebelumnya.
tun0 koq tiba-tiba hilang ya. Dua kali install ulang, dua kali tun0 hilang. Kira-kira kenapa ya, dan bagaimna supay tidak hilang.
Mas, saya sudah install easyhotspot,
Gimana yaa caranya biar tampilan tulisannya lebih jelas, warnanya agak terang dan ukuran hurufnya diperbesar dikit… biar lebih enak dilihat (mata gak capek).
Terima kasih
tharja@yahoo.com
coba di ubah stylesheet nya aja mas .. ada di bawah directory /var/www/assets kalo ga salah y …
Maaf Mas saya gak tahu filenya, minta tolong dijelaskan file-nya js,css,swf, atau yg mana? cara edit-nya pake s/w apa? pake codeigniter? minta tolong yg lebih detail yaa Mas, kalo boleh minta ilmunya ttg codeigniter donk… yg simple2 aja, misal untuk ubah/nambahin image di tampilan easyhotspot, dan jg nambahin tampilan field/attribute dari tabel radius, misal simultaneous-use.
Sekali lagi Mas Rafeequl, saya minta tolong yaaa….
Thanks a lot.
alow mas rafeequl ,
saat ini hotspot saya sudah jalan, dengan menggunakan Speedy , Router 3Com + Bandwith Management HTB (Linux Ubuntu), + Access Point 3Com + Antena Omni…hotspot sudah berjalan normal..
yang belum normal adalah billing nya.. karena masih manual.
apakah saya bisa menggunakan easyhotspot untuk melengkapi billing saya ?
atau memerlukan customisasi lagi ?
trim’s sebelumnya
sri darwanto
bisa saja mas kalo billingnya menggunakan FreeRadius, karena EasyHotspot web interface dibuat untuk front end FreeRadius
mas mau nanya nih gimana caranya supanya internet sering bisa jalan and setting dhcp nya
mas mau tanya nih. saya dah install easyhotspot, dan notebook client dah dapet mac address. tapi saat browsing “http://192.168.182.1/cgi-bin/hotspologin.cgi/” munculnya “login must performed though Easyhotspot deamon”
itu kenapa ya mas, saya dah coba cari2 tapi ngga ketemu. please…..
