WiCap-PHP

["WiCap-PHP"] is a very simple captive portal for OpenBSD (tested on 3.5 and 3.7). Currently it is maintained by CalebPhillips.

Note: This project, while totally stable and usable, is no longer being maintained. My access point no longer runs OpenBSD, and hence, I don't have an itch to scratch (or a platform on which to develop). If you want to take over development of this project, let me know. (CalebPhillips)

Documentation

There is a FAQ here: ["WiCap-PHP-FAQ"]

Installation instructions are maintained within the tarball, also there is a HowTo here: [http://www.smallwhitecube.com/php/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=howto:openbsdap OpenBSD AP HowTo]

This will walk you through setting up an OpenBSD 3.7 access point from scratch. (based on ["NodeSmallWhiteCube"])

-=== Project Forks ===



BenjaminJencks rewrote the perl part of WiCap-PHP (version beta) in python, and made some cool improvements. Get his

version here:



 * [http://bjencks.net/captive/captive-0.1.tar.gz captive-0.1.tar.gz]



Although, his improvements made the ''beta'' version much better, ''delta'' incorporates his changes, with one exception, ''delta'' is written in C and PHP, no Python. My rationale behind this is that Python is not installed with OpenBSD 3.7 by default, and adding it takes significant space, since my Node is using a 256 MB Compact-Flash card for storage, this savings is needed. If you have Python installed, you may want to check out his fork.
