Can't edit oemgateway.conf on windows xp

Submitted by phildabeast on Thu, 13/02/2014 - 12:20

Hi All

I've spent a morning trying to edit the oemgateway.conf file on the SD card. Windows XP just asks if I want to format the card, Ext2Fsd doesn't see it, Linux Reader is read only, I've tried a VM Player linux install and I can't make the mouse work to be able to use it.

Any other ways of doing this - please don't say I need a Linux computer to change the API key!

Thanks

I also learned how to use putty and nano to log into the PI to manually edit the file, but the whole point is that it's a read only file system.

also using ipe-rw doesn't allow me to use chmod

Using putty you can change read only access to read and write using

ipe-rw

at the command-line, edit using

nano /boot/oemgateway.conf

and then use

ipe-ro

to make it read only again.
