I have a Series 2 Raspberry Pi. Running the 3.18 (wheezy) kernel. I got the w1 module (allows one-wire over gpio using bitbanging) to work, with both attached temperature probes showing up in /sys/bus/w1/devices.

I installed owfs (one wire file system) using sudo apt-get install owfs ow-shell and edited /etc/owfs.conf to look as follows:

# Sample configuration file for the OWFS suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main OWFS configuration file. You should read the
# owfs.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here.

######################## SOURCES     ########################
#
# With this setup, any client (but owserver) uses owserver on the
# local machine...
! server: server = localhost:4304
#
# ...and owserver uses the real hardware, by default fake devices
# This part must be changed on real installation
#server: FAKE = DS18S20,DS2405

# w1 devices
server: w1 = all
#
# USB device: DS9490
#server: usb = all
#
# Serial port: DS9097
#server: device = /dev/ttyS1
#
# owserver tcp address
#server: server = 192.168.10.1:3131
#
# random simulated device
#server: FAKE = DS18S20,DS2405
#
######################### OWFS     ##########################
#
mountpoint = /mnt/1wire
allow_other
#
####################### OWHTTPD     #########################

http: port = 2121

####################### OWFTPD ##########################

ftp: port = 2120

####################### OWSERVER ########################

server: port = localhost:4304

I created a /mnt/1wire directory, edited /etc/fuse.conf to set the user_allow_other option, restarted the owserver, and rebooted multiple times.

OWFS is up, I can hit the html page, but the sensors are not showing up.

Any ideas?

(Note: I found an earlier set of questions here from 2012 referencing the fact that OWFS didn't work with w1 in the default kernel. I believe this is no longer the case, as this page http://owfs.org/index.php?page=w1-project states at the bottom "Status w1 (now called wire1) is functional for UISB but slow." Please do not refer me back to the 2012 question.

I had to download the latest owfs since apt installed owfs 2.9: owfs 3.1p1 here

Fixes for a w1 kernel driver change introduced in Linux-3.16-rc1

Installed fuse from https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse (since it wouldn't build owfs with owfs-fuse without it) did the 

./configure --enable-owfs
make
sudo make install

installed owfs to /opt/owfs/ ran 

sudo owfs --w1 -m /mnt/1wire --allow_other --debug -F
