Log Files

Problem : According to the wiki, I've added a working wpa_supplicant.conf to the SD root. This working great, even after multiple reboot. BUT... If I modify ANY configuration item (example : Samba property), in any category using web interface, and then reboot. The raspberry reboots in loop, because the wpa_supplicant.conf has been deleted. I have to manually add again the wpa_supplicant.conf to the sdcard unless it can boot again. I've tried to modify the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to have a permanent config, with a RW mount of the / filesystem. But, even /etc/wpa_supplicant was well written, no more chance, after a modification with the web interface, everything is lost. Do you have any hint ? Thank you for your great work !

I also am having the same issue. I'm running a Pi Zero W and MotionEyeOS 20200606.

I changed the camera name, video resolution and frame rate. After rebooting, it will not come back up. The board LED stays on. I checked the SD card and wpa_supplicant.conf is deleted. I copied it to the SD card again, powered up again to the same result. Again the wpa_supplicant.conf is gone.

I'd be happy to provide logs, but I'm not sure how to get it.

I've found an ugly workaround for this problem: I put the wpa_supplicant.conf to the /root path. Then I've modified the wifi script in /etc/init.d so it looks for the wpa_supplicant.conf in /root or /boot but no more in /etc/ or /data/etc. It works well now but, as said.. it's quite ugly.

@ptoulza can you explain a bit more, I cannot find the path you are talking about. Apparently I have the same problem
