To YourMum,
Things that can make pwnstar not function properly are many but it is not in the coding. There are two main problems. Network-Manager can intrude into your operation. And your file permissions can be improperly set.
We suggest you go to this link read the threads and download the files. One of the files has a long help file.

Next setup a simple web server item 4. Do not offer internet access and see if you can associate to the rogueAP with another computer then log on and enter a password which you can collect by reading the formdata.txt file in the folder that provides the web page.
If this works then try setting up the same simple web server and provide internet access. When you get that working go to item 9 advanced and choose item (a) Captive portals. Provide internet access and see if you can enter a password.
Read the help file in the download it will take you thru most of the problems. It is directed at setting up WPA phishing but it stilll addresses most of the basic problems you will encounter
In closing if your linux has been updated and upgraded pwnstar functions fine. Currentlly we have three computers that run pwnstar and they all run pwnstar fine. Even our persistent usb version works.
Make sure you apache program is up to date we think it is apt-get install apache2. and that your isc-dhcp-server is installed
as well as incron
Pwnstar will install it for you if you have internet access when you run the program
Network Manager can interfere with the ability to associate to the rogueAP if it tries to use your wifi device when running. pwnstar. And if the device actually providing internet access is not actually connected to the internet the webpage will fail.
