Webserver
How to setup a Webserver with aMule2.0.0rc1 and later:
When you installed your aMule via deb package or rpm, the webserver source is not included. Please visit www.amule.org and download the tar.gz package for your aMule version.
SETUP 0)Untar it and copy from the src folder:
-aMule.tmpl
-and the webserver folder
into your /home/usr_running_aMule/.aMule/ directory.
1) shutdown your aMule if it is still running
2) edit your .eMule file:
-locate the "[ExternalConnect]" section and change:
AcceptExternalConnections=1 <-- to enable amule listening for external connections
ECUseTCPPort=1 <-- the use the tcp port! very importand since unix sockets are disabled
3) restart aMule
4) go to your aMule preferences and the tab "remote connection":
-enable your webserver
-also setup your passwords here for external connection and webserver login
-when you change your ports for webserver and external connections here make sure to restart aMule!!
5) after you are done, save your settings, go to console and type
-amuleweb
type in your password. This will startup your aMule webserver. If you changed your external connection port to someting else start amuleweb with
-amuleweb -p new_port
at the end it should look something like this:
Web Server: Started
amuleweb$
WSThread: Thread started
WSThread: created service
WSThread: created socket listening on :4711
6) to make sure it is working use your favorite browser:
this is the default port of your aMuleweb. If you connect to 4712 this will not work since it is the external connections port, connecting here will result in error messages by aMule.
