I updated to 6.3.1 and checked the problem remained. In the official version of ETS 631, you cannot insert unregistered devices into a project. The feature is unlocked only if you use special developer or tester licenses.

Need Help with Gira HomeServer 4 – Extracting Project and Cloning to Virtual Machine

Dear Forum Members,

I have a physical Gira HomeServer 4 (IP: 192.х.х.205, firmware 4.3.0) that has been running for a very long time. A project was uploaded to it years ago (configured via KNX ETS Gira Expert), but unfortunately, the original project file has been lost. The system is currently operational, but I’m unable to fix bugs or make adjustments due to the missing project file. Additionally, I’m concerned that if the Gira HomeServer 4 fails, I’ll be left without any configuration.

I have physical access to the server and would like to explore options to recover the project and secure the data. Here are my questions:

Is it possible to extract the project by cloning the server’s partitions?
Since I have physical access to the server, can I clone its partitions (e.g., using tools like dd or similar) and extract the project file (e.g., .proj or related data) from the cloned image? If so, what tools or steps would you recommend?
Can I migrate the data from the physical HomeServer to a virtual (VM,hyper) Gira HomeServer 4 ?
Is it feasible to transfer the data (partitions, project, and settings) from my physical HomeServer to a virtual machine running a Gira HomeServer 4 image (e.g., the modified 4.12 image shared by sinn3r)? If yes, what would be the best approach to achieve this while preserving the existing configuration?

Any advice, tools, or steps would be greatly appreciated! I’m worried about losing the configuration entirely if the hardware fails, so I’d like to secure a backup as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Could you try to run hs_main under root? The hs_main is run from a boot script. Maybe you can set the SUID bit (S_ISUID).

chmod u+s hs_main

This will execute the hs_main process (no matter who calls it) under the owner of that process. So if you make ‘root’ the owner, then the hs_main will be executed as root. Now it should be able to create raw sockets.

Let me know if it works!

The 6.3.0 is already patched and seems to be working.
Here is the Board where it got posted
And here is the Link to the Mega.nz Folder so you can access it without a account on the other board

Topic: Hostcheck building block not working due to missing root permissions in forum Gira HomeServer |

Hi,
Running HS V4.12 on a Debian VM. Not a a version that you can download here.
Everything works for years.
Few versions back Gira changed the permissions that the hs_main process no longer runs under root.
Preventing to create RAW sockets
This is making that ping with this building block is not working.
Gira had the same issue in V4.9.
Not sure how they solved it that raw socket is allowed again.

Getting this error.
File “<12242_Hostcheck_0>”, line 238, in _ping_receiver
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py”, line 191, in __init__
_sock = _realsocket(family, type, proto)
error: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
Need Root!!!!

Tried al off these, but not one seems to resolve my issue.

Someone who has the magic answer to make it work?

Hello,

sorry, I wrote .knxprod instead of .knxproj, my fault.

You have to convert an KNX5 (without licence) projekt into an KNX6 (with/without licence).
Then you can export a project to keep this as a backup.
The methods were given some posts above.

Furthermore:
there is no need anymore to create a special ico.link to start ETS (6.2.2) without any “nag”-screen.
You can choose an option inside of ETS during install.

#39654 In reply to: xxx |

Thanks I have imported my project.
I wnated to keep a copy so I tried to export but recived the error as belwo

This project cannot be exported with the installed license(s).

The second question is for the log in screen the proposal was
Create a new Icon on the Windows-Desktop for the start of ETS6.
Behind the string of the path and ETS6 parameters, looks normally like:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\ETS6\ETS6.exe”
just add 6 characters including SPACE: {TAB}

This then looks then like:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\ETS6\ETS6.exe” {TAB}

the two strings are identical where are the 6 blanks to be added I could not figure that out.

AyDee sent me a message he couldn’t post. So I am posting it here for AyDee:

Hello tvr,

Thanks for the quick response, perhaps the only forum with such quick feedback thank you.

2. Methode:
Ich habe eine eigene Methode entwickelt:
.knxprod mit 7zip öffnen

It sounds stupid but I could not find the .knxprod of my project on my computer. The only .knxprod files are the catalog files.
My ets6 files is stored at C:\Program Files (x86)\ETS6\ETS6.exe
Thanks for help
AyDee

Hi AyDee,

here are some advices you have/can follow:

Check Method 2 and do it exactly as described there!!!

###
ETS5-Projekt von einer gecrackten ETS5-Version erstellt in ein legal erstelltes Projekt umwandeln:

1. Methode:

Hi, so habe es hin bekommen.

Ets5 mit Keks 5.7.4 Projekt geöffnet und exportiert. Projekt Ordner aus dem Ets Ordner kopiert und auf dem Desktop zwischen gespeichert.

ETS5 geupdatet auf 5.7.6 mit Dongle. Projekt Ordner von Desktop eingefügt und Projekt importiert. Geöffnet und dann exportiert.

Ets6 geöffnet, Projekt importiert.

Hat geklappt.

Für alle die sich die ETS6 kaufen können über den Support eine ETS5 Lizenz für 1 Jahr kostenlos zu bekommen.

################################
2. Methode:

Ich habe eine eigene Methode entwickelt:

.knxprod mit 7zip öffnen

4 stellige Projekt-ID suchen: P-xxxx

Z.B. P-016A.signature

Leeres File mit dem Namen: P-xxxx_M-dummy erstellen (dabei ist P-xxxx gleich der gefundenen P-xxxx zu benennen,
nur zusätzlich noch _M-dummy hinten anhängen) und mit Drag&Drop in die mit 7zip geöffnete .knxprod ziehen.

Z.B. P-016A_M-dummy

(die P-xxxx_M-dummy darf keine .yyy – Extension haben, z.B. kein .txt!!!)

Danach klappt der Import ohne Probleme ;)

################################
Bei mir hat dieser Trick leider nicht funktioniert. Ich versuche gerade einen Import eines mit Keks 5.7.4 erstellten Projektes in ETS6. Ich bekomme immer den Fehler, dass die Signatur fehlt , wenn ich nach obigem Tip vorgehe.

Edit: Für alle Unwissenden (wie mich) , der Tipp klappt doch wunderbar. Einfach in WinZip ein neues (Text)Dokument erstellen und es wie oben P-xxxx_M-dummy nennen. Darauf achten, dass Keine .txt Endung dahinter steht!! Dann klappt der Import von ETS5 Keks nach ETS6 mit Dongle wunderbar.

Kann ich bestätigen – funktioniert 1A.
Zusatz: Die ursprüngliche P-xxx.signature darf dabei aber nicht gelöscht werden sondern einfach so drin lassen. Die leere M-dummy mit exakt derselben P-xxx Nummer muss einfach zusätzlich dazu … Ich brauchte deshalb ganze drei Versuche ;-)

################################
3. Methode:

Hi Debbe
Great to see you doing better again and move on with the work :-)
Licensed apps now work fine ! Thanx.
As sinn3r already figured out, the ETS6C is for compatible reasons using old special extensions which were for extended functionality before the DCA (is this the correct naming?) stuff was invented (ETS >= 4..).

The license stuff was already with older crack Versions. There is a workaround which works for ETS5 (should be also in this forum, here a short description)
=============================================================
Just checked this using a licensed ETS5. IT WORKS!! Here are the steps:

On the cracked version pc:
1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\KNX\ETS5\ProjectStore. Every P-xxxx folder is a project in ETS. Inside the folder you can find the project name in the file called P.
2. Copy the entire project folder to your licensed ETS PC.

On the licensed version pc:

1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\KNX\ETS5\ProjectStore and paste the project folder here
2. Open ETS. The project should show up in the Projects list.
3. Right-click the project and select Copy -> As Clone.

The cloned project is now a licensed project which you can export!
=============================================================

– ENDE –

#39649 In reply to: xxx |

I downloaded ETS 6.0.6 works well but I cannot import the project from 5.6.x crack
I renamed the .knxproj file to .ZIP now this file is converted into a folder, extracted the contents and found the P-xxxx folder and in this there are two XML file 0.xml and project.xml which I replaced with blank files.
the difficulty I am having is this is now a folder and ets does not recognize this as a .knxproj file so cannot import.

I have then changed the properties of the .knxproj file and used 7-Zip to open archive now i can edit the files.
I created two empty files 0.xml and project.xml.
I tried with replacing one file at a time with the zero byte files and then by replacing both xml zero byte files but I get error
Import failed
root element missing
Please advice
Thanks AyDee
