I have added a virtual interface uap0 using the command
iw dev wlan0 interface add uap0 type __ap
on my raspberry pi running Raspbian Lite distro. The idea is that any user with the correct WiFi AP credentials must be able to connect to the AP and access my web application. The WiFi AP is up and running. I have also configured dnsmasq as the DHCP & DNS server. I can connect to the AP successfully. Unfortunately am unable to access the web application via
http://192.168.5.50/index.html
Am using hostapd to manage the WiFi AP with the below configuration:
interface=uap0
ssid=MyAP
hw_mode=g
channel=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=mypass
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
dnsmasq configuration is as below:
bogus-priv
interface=uap0
no-dhcp-interface=lo,wlan0,eth0
bind-interfaces
dhcp-range=192.168.5.51,192.168.5.55,12h
The apache2 is configured to bind and listen to 192.168.5.50:80
/etc/network/interfaces contents specific to uap0:
# uap0 - Static IP Configuration
auto uap0
iface uap0 inet static
address 192.168.5.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.5.50
IPv4 packet forwarding is enabled via sysctl.conf
Please help!
