Remove Mikrotik word from ERROR: Gateway Timeout

namo · Tue Nov 10, 2009 9:22 pm

I have Mikrotik routerOS 4.2. I have blocked access to the router page 192.168.1.1. and I get the following error message:

ERROR: Gateway Timeout

While trying to retrieve the URL http://192.168.1.1/:

* Connection timed out

Your cache administrator is webmaster.
Generated Fri, 02 Jan 1970 00:29:31 GMT by 192.168.3.1 (Mikrotik HttpProxy)

How can I remove Mikrotik word from this?

SurferTim · Tue Nov 10, 2009 9:31 pm

I think you can change that in
/ip proxy
set cache-administrator=NewName

thermant · Tue Nov 10, 2009 10:16 pm

wouldn't that just change the name "webmaster" to "NewName"?

Can you really change the word "Mikrotik"? I don't think you can...

Well, you can if there's a way to change the built-in error page to your own error page, with pictures and all. Is it possible?

You can remove this whole line by editing and removing "$(signature)" from webproxy/error.html under files section.

I don't have webproxy folder in Mikrotik

Try to run

/ip proxy reset-html

namo · Wed Nov 11, 2009 9:20 am

Try to run
Code: Select all
/ip proxy reset-html

I do not want to reset anything I just want to remove the word "Mikrotik"

In case you do not have webproxy/error.html file under /file

/ip proxy reset-html

will make one. Then you can dowload this error.html file with FTP, edit, and upload back where it was.

IS this work with MK V3.22

kirshteins · Wed Nov 11, 2009 11:13 am

No, this feature was added in v3.28

speedzonenetwork · Wed Nov 11, 2009 12:39 pm

How can we upgrade our system from 3.22 to 3.28?

speedzonenetwork · Wed Nov 11, 2009 8:29 pm

Still waiting for experts suggestion.

odie · Wed Nov 11, 2009 8:50 pm

you could spend your time waiting for experts suggestion on reading the wiki or a manual.....

thermant · Wed Nov 11, 2009 8:57 pm

Ouch, that's harsh...

But seriously though, you REALLY don't know how to upgrade your routerOS? Wow...

Ehm... Try reading the mikrotik wiki, or maybe the download page? There should be something there...

speedzonenetwork · Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:55 pm

i tried wiki but couldnt find the related topic.
if u know how can i upgrade my Os 3.2 to 4.2 so please write me.

Thanks

Google "wiki mikrotik upgrade".

what else variables are available in error.html, except of 'url', 'status', 'error' and 'admin'? can I match against local port of proxy? I need to have different messages for 'deny' proxy rules - how can I distinguish among them?

kirshteins · Tue Nov 17, 2009 1:05 pm

Currently 'url', 'status', 'error', 'admin' and 'signature' are the only variables. I think that 'signature' could be more divided into smaller parts like 'time' and 'program'. Do you think there should be any other variables? To give different messages to proxy deny rules you can try to play around:

$(if error=='Access Denied')
'access denied text'
$(elseif)
'default text'
$(endif)

Chupaka · Tue Nov 17, 2009 1:41 pm

unfortunately, if you set 'action=deny', then 'error' is always 'Access Denied' =(

so I see two possible ways: either to add other variables like 'local-port' (at least), or add a possibility to set custom error message in 'deny' rules. or both

thanks

Hi,

I have 4.1 up and running, with hotspot and web-proxy, too.
But I also do NOT have the folder webproxy, only hotspot.
Never seen folder webproxy, though.
I did a clean install. So it looks like a bug in the system installation. I did it from ISO, x586 PC version.

Should I file official bug report, or will you take care of it ? (Which will be much faster, I guess ...)

the answer was given:

/ip proxy reset-html

reinerotto · Sat Dec 05, 2009 10:45 pm

@namo: According to your logic, MT can also omit to create/fill up the complete /hotspot folder during the installation.
And in case, some users complain, that their hotspots do not work, then everybody has to browse this forum to find the solution:

/IP hotspot reset-html

You were joking, weren't you ?

namo · Sat Dec 05, 2009 11:25 pm

when I put the command
/ip proxy reset-html
in the Terminal

the webproxy folder appear with file error.html which you can edit

Mikrotik is not meant to be an "out of the box solution" for everyone. If you are not prepared to experiment, read documentation or ask questions, it is likely not a solution for you. Is that logic much better? Sorry if it offends, but that's how I feel about it. I train people to use Mikrotik software and I spend time reading documentation. That's how I learn, too. Not sure why you'd expect to be any different.

Obviously, we have a different understanding of "Quality of Software".
RoS is a software product, with documented functionaliyt. At least, supposed to be. Not a "secret" to be explored. Not a "secret" to be known only by "adepts".
So:
Regarding " not prepared read documentation "...: Sorry, where is the docs about the existance or purpose of /webproxy directory ?
In case of proper documentation, the original question of this thread (and a few others) would not have been asked.
Or, in case during SW-installation, this directory would have been created, the original poster of the problem and myself would have seen it and modified error.html ourselves.
So I call it a "Bug" of the installation routine.

Of course, I understand your standpoint. To keep the secrets, to protect your job. Sorry, offending you.

As a "programming-dinosaur", I know this discussion already for a long period of time.
Similar is the discussion about "User errors". One of my customers told me: "There is no such thing like a user error". And he was right. BTW, this customer is from a large international airline ....

You don't want to create the file structure when a version of RouterOS that supports the editable error.html gets installed, because the RouterOS installer simply unpacks packages into the file system, overwriting existing files. If you were to blindly write the directory and the file, you might be overwriting a user's previous customization.
Also, rather arguably the file structure shouldn't exist if the user doesn't use the web proxy feature.

Thus the file structure is created when the web proxy is enabled. If I remember correctly from playing with the feature this works as expected if you Netinstall (wiping out the config), or turn off the web proxy, delete the file structure, and turn it back on. The only case in which the file structure doesn't exist is when you were running web proxy in earlier than the version in which the editable error.html got introduced and upgraded to a later version. The install process can't create the file structure, and there's no triggered event when turning on the proxy feature because it's already on.

File a bug report if you'd like but I'm not sure they can work around it.

As far as there being no such thing as user errors - that's certainly true for 'public applications', i.e. things that everyone regardless of training must be able to use. RouterOS isn't such an application, it's special use. So I vehemently disagree. But that's more of a philosophical discussion and besides the point.

You are missing my point. I was responding to the following statement you made:

And in case, some users complain, that their hotspots do not work, then everybody has to browse this forum to find the solution:

My point is/was that there is NO software that is as complex as Mikrotik that, even with documentation, does not require anyone using it to it's potential to occasionally visit the forums/documentation/other support channels. Anyone who suggests or expects otherwise has unrealistic expectations.

Regarding " not prepared read documentation "...: Sorry, where is the docs about the existance or purpose of /webproxy directory ?

It's here in this forum. It is, in fact, right here in this thread.

In case of proper documentation, the original question of this thread (and a few others) would not have been asked.

Do you use Windows, Mac and/or a Linux OS? Do you ever have to search for answers to questions on those operating systems? Ever used ANY software that did not require you to search for some documentation? Mikrotik has done a very nice job of getting the documentation online (2.9.x series was EXCELLENT, 3.x documentation was lacking until recently). It is not 100% of all functionality, but MOST of it is there. Now, MY question for you...Before you joined this converstation here in the forum, did you look in the wiki for an answer?

Or, in case during SW-installation, this directory would have been created, the original poster of the problem and myself would have seen it and modified error.html ourselves.
So I call it a "Bug" of the installation routine.

First, I don't use web proxy. I do not want my file system cluttered with such a file. So I would call the creation of the webproxy directory a bug if it was there. It works both ways...

Of course, I understand your standpoint. To keep the secrets, to protect your job. Sorry, offending you.

LOL. I'm not offended at all. First, If you think I am out to "keep secrets", you should visit my blog and view other posts I've made here on the forum. Also, visit my mailing lists and see my posts there. NONE of those things will indicate that my intent is to keep secrets. Personally, I get tired of simple questions (such as this thread) and would rather move on to more complex networking applications.

Similar is the discussion about "User errors". One of my customers told me: "There is no such thing like a user error". And he was right. BTW, this customer is from a large international airline ....

No, he was NOT right. I've been supporting end users for too long to believe that statement. I have seen some really stupid user errors. Everything from leaving gear unplugged (and expecting it to work) to the inablility to read what is right on the screen.
